ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Today on MS Understood we chat with Chris. We talked about the skewed view of disease in the world but particularly when working as a chronic care nurse working with people who are quite debilitated from their multiple sclerosis diagnosis. Living with MS and working in that space is curious and a constant reminder to Chris that is really is a spectrum disease.
We talk about the guilt that arises in our relationships of not being able to do what we once did before diagnosis.
We also talk about toxic positivity and being in denial after a diagnosis and the importance of finding a good psychologist or therapist after a diagnosis.
