We discuss the most aggressive form of MS known as PPMS or Primary-Progressive MS. Jamie was diagnosed with PPMS just two years ago. His Doctors are amazed he is still walking. His story is one of perseverance and he’s an inspiration to us all.

Thanks Jamie for being so open about your day-to-day struggles with MS. Your story gives hope to those in their battle with the disease. Keep fighting the good fight!

In our first episode, we discuss an early symptom of MS called optic neuritis. My guest is Kristina who lost her vision when she was 25-years-old. She explains how this condition led to a life changing diagnosis of MS. Her story is full of hope and encouragement for young women diagnosed with the disease.  

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year will be a Virtual MS Bike

What is MS? If someone asked you ... would you be able to explain it?

Host, Andrea Dunn had no idea what Multiple Sclerosis was until she was diagnosed with it in 2010 at age 31.

Having MS is scary. It’s unpredictable and difficult to explain because you can’t always physically see its impact. Canada has one of the highest rates of MS in the world, yet people know so little about this disease. 

THIS IS MS, the podcast aims to change listeners’ understanding of the frequently invisible disease by delivering the inspirational stories of those living with – and often thriving despite – the illness.

With support from the MS Society of Canada, THIS IS MS launches Thursday, May 21 with new episodes released every two weeks thereafter.
