Life's Issues with Lloyd Rosen and his guest Sam Shelley & Nazim Rashid:

Sam’s story starts as a young boy when, hit by a fast-moving van, he spent several months in the hospital and several more at home rehabbing and getting his strength back. Soon after, he suffered an anxiety attack which began his spiral into chronic anxiety, catastrophic thinking and depression. In his early 20’s, Sam was also diagnosed with bi-polar disorder and by 37, he suffered the worst migraine of his life and was diagnosed – and quickly hospitalized - with multiple sclerosis. His body deteriorated rapidly, quickly turning Sam into a virtual invalid, requiring a cane to walk, bladder issues, vision issues, reduced coordination on the left side of his body, near constant medical attention and all told, 13 prescriptions just to survive each day.
