Miscellaneous


Multiple sclerosis, or MS, is a topic we've covered in the past. But, everyone's experience with the condition is unique. In our next two episodes, we hear from Astrid, an MS advocate who has been living with the condition for over six years. In this episode, we hear her diagnosis story, as she provides some helpful advice she's learned over the years. We also hear from Dr. John Parratt, a neurologist at Royal North Shore Hospital in Sydney, Australia, who provides a clinical perspective and advice from his years treating MS patients.
