MS is CHRONIC

MS is CHRONIC
Podcast Description
Welcome to MS is Chronic.
If you have Multiple Sclerosis, are on a journey that is leading to an MS diagnosis or know someone with MS this podcast is for you.
Having MS impacts people emotionally and physically. These episodes are with people living with, the often unpredictability, of MS day to day.
Telling their story with honesty, openness, humour and stoicism.
Sometimes the language can be a little blue. And the topics covered are from the heart, intimate and very personal.
This is not science, medical or health advice. It is regular folk sharing their own experience and from time to time the chat moves from MS into the normal humdrum day to day of life.
As the series develops guests will include perspective of family and friends of those with MS. I’ll have professionals share their knowledge insight and advice too.
If you’d like to be a guest in future series please get in touch.
Thanks,
Barney Black

Thank-you for choosing to listen to the latest episode of MS is Chronic.
This is season 2 episode 6. With a fabulous guest Bev Malcolm.
I met Bev through the MS Society Perth and Kinross group. And we have been trying to get together for a while to record this episode.
When we met to record Bev was still recovering from a broken hip. In addition to dealing with her MS. And I am very grateful to her for the time she gave.
You’ll hear her story as a girl from Blackpool that moved to Bournemouth and ended up in the Fair City of Perth.
Bev introduced me to the Scottish Ballet’s dance programme, SB Elevate® and shared that she is a member of local choir as well as a key member of the MS Societ Perth and Kinross group too. A very inspiring lady.
Enjoy the episode and if you would like to take part or know someone who would like to take part that would be fabulous. Just let me know.
Happy Listening.
The intro and outro Music in this episode is by Perth musician Mike Lee.
