Join us for a jargon busting, myth smashing podcast where we explore baffling multiple sclerosis terms and common misconceptions.

Ever heard terms like PIRA, RAW, or smouldering MS that’ve left you scratching your head and asking for a translation to plain English?

Better yet, have you been on the receiving end of a baffling tale involving one of the many MS myths out there?

 “My friend Gary told me that exercise is bad for MS, so don’t bother.”

Yep, we’ve heard them all too. That’s why we’re here with a jargon busting, myth smashing podcast where we separate the wheat from the chaff, the fact from fiction and get to the honest truth.

 We interview consultant neurologist, Dr Kate Petheram who cuts through multiple sclerosis jargon to give us easily accessible information. Plus, we catch up with Stephen, who lives with MS, and Simon from the MS Trust team to dispel some common MS myths.

 Ready to learn more? Then listen now for all of the latest trusted information, tips and updates.
