FUMS: Giving Multiple Sclerosis The Finger

FUMS 063 - Former Radio DJ, MS Advocate, and Author Kim "Kid" Curry


Listen Later

Kim "Kid" Curry was a successful DJ and radio executive when he was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. After research into MS disease progression, he decided to leave his broadcasting career of 33 years and become a writer.

In this wide-ranging conversation with Kathy, Kim talks about politics, the role of caregivers and vitamin supplements, and the "survivor's guilt" he feels when he sees other patients whose MS symptoms are worse than his.

 

Topics covered include:

  • Kim's initial symptoms and diagnosis story - and the reasons why his initial research led him to leave work immediately
  • Kim's decision to concentrate on his writing
  • His experiences with DMTs and vitamin D supplements
  • Kim's opinions about the current state of healthcare in America
