Still in the midst of the flurry of the Christmas season, join us as we consider the roller-coaster of 2024. There has been A LOT GOING ON from taking a big podcast summer break to get through challenging personal stuff to then celebrating the unimaginable joy of freedom, achievement and community support. Take a few minutes over your seasonal holidays to reflect on your own year past & plan how YOU want your next few days, weeks and months to turn out.

Listen for 15 minutes of pure power! We've had the envy, comparison and awful bitter feeling when we see other MSers doing SO MUCH BETTER than us. It's so unfair. How do we lift ourselves out of the icky swamp of comparison & forgetting OURSELVES??

TLDR; Do people with MS 'deserve' support when their health condition leads to loss of mobility and ways to be involved in society? “Illness is neither an indulgence for which people have to pay, nor an offence for which they should be penalised, but a misfortune the cost of which should be shared by the community.” Aneurin Bevan, Minister for Health Post-war Britain Do people with MS 'deserve' support when their health condition leads to loss of mobility and ways to be involved in society? Who pays the price for a society where illness puts people to the wayside? This episode is a bit gross as we discuss people's worth by their functionality. 🤮 Check out these resources European MS Platform https://emsp.org/ MS International Federation https://www.msif.org/ Samaritans https://www.samaritans.org/ Insight Timer https://insighttimer.com/ Music Drop-It by Coma Media Twitter@theMSAgency Insta @donna_nahal @emmaj_rogan

Change is not always a good thing when it comes to Multiple Sclerosis. When people say things get easier with time, for some it's just that that grief gets smaller and other things take over the space. We are forced to find another way, adapt to find a way through. Today, it's losing out on the nice things because the struggle was too much.
