Podcast Overview

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

Dear Diary...Extracts from my journal written pre and post MS diagnosis 2017

Warning to those who are offended easily - there is a fair bit of swearing in this episode.   The latest guest to join the MS Podcast is...........me! The episode is about 20 minutes long as it covers a short time in my life.  Recently we have been getting some work done at home and while going through some boxes I found a journal from 2017, the year I was diagnosed with Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis. I forgot that I had written it and thought it might be worth sharing with those of you who listen to this podcast whether you have MS or know someone who does. It starts in January 2017 and covers the last couple of months before my diagnosis in March and continues until a couple of months after.   Warning to those who are offended easily - there is a fair bit of swearing in this episode.   I hope you enjoy. Happy Listening.
