EP7: Living well with Multiple Sclerosis on World MS day 30/05/2020

Today is World MS day, and In this episode I share with you a very personal journey of hope and healing, which relates to me living every day with Multiple Sclerosis for the past 14 years.  Whenever I was diagnosed with MS August 2007, I lost all hope, I thought my life was over as I couldn't find anyone who had anything positive to say about living with the condition. My neurologist advised I change my job to something less stressful, stopped playing football as I wouldn't be able to, and pretty much, conditioned me to believe that things were going to get worse.  It was a horrendous time in my life. Whenever one loses all hope in life, even existing and finding a reason to live becomes difficult.  Thankfully for me, and after many years of research and soul searching, in April 2016, I decided to change direction in my approach to managing my condition, implementing a complete lifestyle change to managing my disease and facilitate the recovery process in my body.  The good news is I have went onto make a remarkable recovery and my body continues to heal and repair every day.  I am now 100% free from all medication, I've completed 7 Ironman triathlons, and at 42 years of age, I am full of hope, life and optimism for the future.  This is a solocast,  where I share some of my thoughts and ideas on how each of us can turn a personal tragedy, into a resounding life success story.
