Our guest today is Meg Lewellyn of BBHwithMS.com – which stands for Boots, Boobs and Hair with Multiple Sclerosis.

In a frank and funny conversation with Kathy, Meg covers subjects including being open with her three kids about her MS and how she is now managing her symptoms with marijuana.

In this episode we discuss:

  • Meg's MS diagnosis story
  • Why she chose to be up front with her three kids about her MS right off the bat
  • What made her write about her experiences in her book, "Segway Into My New Life"
  • Her history with various DMTs and why she is now managing her symptoms with a mixture of diet, exercise and medical marijuana
  • Meg's Segway, Mojo
  • Turning off her internal critic with the help of her husband

… and much more!
