Thank you so much for your comment Polly. I agree, Dr White is doing a fantastic job and even more helpful that he has MS himself. Hope you’re well! #StayENabled 💪

Hi Julie, thanks so much for your comment. Great to hear you've found an app to help you :) how long have you been diagnosed?

I know! She's amazing and super inspirational :) how are you today Charles?

@@disabledtoenabled767 hi! Yeah they are really inspirational. That's awesome to have such a goal and do a half marathon with little experience. That's tough even without MS.

I know! Interesting episode this one. Sounds like you did the hardest part and got on the treadmill in the first place - that's pretty awesome! :) how are you coping in the heat right now?

@@disabledtoenabled767 I've been doing Sudoku and crossword puzzles out in the heat and sun and I notice a considerable difference between doing them outside for an hour or two and doing them indoors. I didn't know what to think hearing about the heat problems initially. Generally dismissive about it: "yeah yeah." But apparently it's quite real!

@@CharlesLumia that's brilliant well done! Sudoku is hard AF so I applaud you for that! Heat sensitivity is definitely a 'thing' for people with MS. Are you diagnosed yourself? I've had MS for 7 years now so feel free to ask me anything :)

@@disabledtoenabled767 it's definitely a 'thing' lol. Air conditioning and I rip through fairly hard puzzles, outside in the 95f heat and full sun and sometimes I barely know the difference between up and down :D Yeah sadly I was diagnosed with MS earlier this year after I totally lost my balance and fell. I was having a flare up apparently. It has calmed down a lot but my balance is still much worse than it was last year.

He certainly is! Thankful for all doctors all over the world for doing an amazing job. How are you Prashant?

Really glad you liked it thank you :) I Cheryl is an incredible human being. Are you a runner yourself?

Elisia's Rollercoaster Life resting is the best 🧡 less meat? Good tip 👍🏼 how long have you been diagnosed? x

@@disabledtoenabled767 yes hun when you eat meat your body works hard to break it down making you more tired, also the stuff they give animals is not good for us either. Watch game changers on youtube. Diagnosed nov 2018. Ive felt my energy has increased a bit cutting down...x

@@ElisiasEvolution of course! It makes sense now! I will check that out, thanks :) that's great to hear it's affected your energy really positively. You're doing really well for saying you're still quite newly diagnosed. How are you doing? Is everything feeling more or less ok? xx

@@disabledtoenabled767 I still get my words mixes up, still get chronic pain daily, fatigued but just take each day as it comes. And im kind to myself well try lol

I love that! BE is amazing! I love her outlook on life. All your bullet points are so true :) do you have .a chronic illness yourself? xx

That’s brilliant feedback, I’m considering getting one too

@@lilyheinsius2185 That's awesome! They really are the coolest things ever. Why can't being different be cool again?

Glad you liked the interview Jennifer (and your Alinker!) BE has such an interesting outlook on life, don't you think? How long have you been diagnosed?

DISabled to ENabled I have had MS 17 years and CRPS almost 6 years!

@@jenniferboney9394 That's so good to hear that the Alinker has helped you :) Wow a long time then, what advice would you give to someone else newly diagnosed? :)

DISabled to ENabled I would say take the time to sort through all the emotions that are going to smack you in the face, I denied my initial diagnosis. Which made it completely devastating to me when I began progressing, it was like a diagnosis all over again. So,definitely take time to yourself, but don’t stay there too long.

Really sorry you feel that way. It must be hard living in a negative world. All the best for the future.

big talk from someone hiding behind their handle. If you have nothing to say, shut your mouth.

If you have MS I would have thought you'd understand that one minute you can be walking fine and the next, your legs just won't do what you want them to do. But if your MS isn't that bad and that doesn't happen, then lucky you. I hope it never gets that bad for you.

MS fatigue affects everyone differently, for instance my fatigue changes from day to day, even minute to minute. One minute I'm fine walking with my stick around the corner shop, the next my husband has to push me in my wheelchair and I can't even self propel. Or even somedays I literally cannot get out of bed and need to have everything within reaching distance. The worst of it is mental fatigue, this message has taken nearly 30 minutes to write because I couldn't get my thoughts written down. Don't bring down other's achievements because you don't understand. Go Jessie and Kadeena for everything you're standing for 👍

@@tommypouncey5667 Nuther paid blank shill channel.Terrible name, too. Dead shill give away name.

That's so sweet thank you :) keep raising awareness! Thank you for supporting the podcast x

I never felt that, I felt she was similar to Chanel in that they laughed together at the horrors of Chanel's life and she let Chanel speak as much as she wanted to, something many interviewers don't do x
