Katt and Brandon discuss using cannabis and CBD medicinally for managing multiple sclerosis symptoms.

*During the episode I mention a research paper showing cannabis to potentially slow progression of our illness - this I believe has sadly been disproven, however there are papers indicating relief from symptoms vs placebo. I'm going to try and hunt down the original paper I saw - if I do I will link it below :)

Similarly to last episode, Sam and Katt discuss a piece of writing that I (Katt) wrote 3 years ago before I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis...

We discuss and breakdown all of the points in the post, which are still very relevant today. In fact, I feel like I could have written this yesterday with a few word substitutions here and there...

Thank you again to anyone listening, and for all the feedback we've recieved so far :)

Sam comes back to help me out with this weeks episode :)

We discuss and break down some writing I did 2 years before my official diagnosis of #multiplesclerosis - I'm describing what I was told by countless medical professionals was 'anxiety', when in reality I was describing in clear detail relapses/generally living life with MS.

It amazes me still how I was able to put into words what life is like living with our illness, despite #MS not even being on my radar at this point.

Thank you so much to Sam for her insights and help with this weeks episode & thank you to everyone that continues to listen to the podcast, and all the feedback I've recieved so far.

At the back end of last year Ollie asked me to help him with his own podcast (which will be linked as soon as it's officially up and running!). We filmed this episode for his podcast as kind of a test run and he's kindly said I could upload the episode to the WhatMS channel also.

Its basically just story time, and I kinda cover a bit more in depth what went on in my life over the last couple of years.

I also dicuss my time in a rehab facility, and my experiences withdrawing from the drug Pregabalin (also known by the brand name Lyrica).

All of the content I put out is/are my own PERSONAL experience(s), and I am also aware that the drug in question is also helpful in some cases. I have previously been reluctant to share details about what I went through with it, but the reality is it happened to me - therefore I am now choosing to share, as I know there are people that have been through it too.

A massive thank you to Ollie for having me, and listening to my waffle :)

Sam and Katt answer the questions -

What are your strategies for living and coping with Multiple Sclerosis?

Would you slow down your work/life balance? Do you have a fixed route to cope and live with MS? Do you live life in the current moment and not think too far ahead? Tips for people living with MS? If you'd have known what you know now would you have done anything in the past differently?

Do you enjoy life more now?
