Hey everyone, welcome to MS Michigan Man 64. I'm Brian Wallace, and this is where we get real about living with multiple sclerosis - no medical jargon you can't understand, just honest conversations between people who get it.

Today I'm talking with Dave from Canada, diagnosed with MS in 2016 while attending college. His journey started with extremity numbness, and what happened next shows how fragile our treatment plans can be. Dave was an electrician and business owner until Covid and MS took it all away. During Covid, he couldn't get his medication, which caused him to deteriorate fast and left him with permanent damage.

Dave started a movement called "Rockin to End MS" - using his passion for guitar to raise awareness and push for a cure. We talk about explaining MS to his child and how they processed that their dad has this disease. It's real talk about acceptance of using mobility aids and the mental drain this disease puts on you.

Finding relief and an outlet for that mental stress is crucial - We both speak on the importance of finding a passion that occupies your mind. We discuss finding an MS community and the love and support you'll receive from it. Dave also shares his experience with a PEMF mat and highly recommends people with MS give it a try.
