MS is CHRONIC
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

Dean Riley is an inspiration. In this episode you'll hear how he takes life head on. With his humour and ability to try something new and always wanting to stretch himself. Refusing to have limits put upon him because he has Multiple Sclerosis.
We laugh and we even shed a tear in this episode. Follow the the link in these notes to Dean's "Letter to MS"youtube page. But, first, listen to this episode and be inspired.

I first 'met' Damian through his Youtube channel as he shared his own MS journey.
He's engaging, funny and perhaps most importantly he is authentic
His Youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/@NoStressMS
His website: https://www.damianwashington.com/
His bio says he's an 'Actor, Rapper and a Nerd' To me though, he is a rich gift in this sh!tty world of Multiple Sclerosis

I first met Heather last year. At least that's the first I remember. My sister Mona and Heather are old school friends.
Heather very kindly agreed to support me in getting this series of podcasts started and she is a brilliant first guest.
The language is a little fruity at times, so if you are of a sensitive nature, you might want to skip this episode. But you'd be missing out on a brilliantly funny and honest chat of what it is like to live with MS.
Happy Listening
