    Workout to Wheelchair - Why Trying to Get Stronger Made Me Weaker

    Send us a text 🎙️ Workout to Wheelchair Why Trying to Get Stronger Made Me Weaker In this raw and personal episode of The Just MS Show, I share how pushing my body too far — even with the best intentions — led to injuries that rapidly worsened my Multiple Sclerosis (MS). From breaking my foot and rib, to temporary blindness, to a devastating lower back injury during lockdown workouts, each moment shifted my MS progression — and my mobility — in ways I couldn’t predict. You’ll hear the full story: How I was diagnosed with MS in 2012 and told I’d never walk again — but proved them wrong (for a while) The injuries that changed everything, including a freak accident doing squats with makeshift weights The 7-month hospital stay that followed, and how I rebuilt myself through solo rehab at home What I’m doing now to stay strong, safe, and moving forward with MS Whether you're newly diagnosed, living with chronic illness, or navigating disability and mobility changes — this episode offers an honest look at the risks of overexertion, the importance of safety, and the power of persistence. 👉 Listen now and learn why MS isn’t just about symptoms — it’s about survival. The Just MS (Multiple Sclerosis) Show, w host Justin Loizos, is a podcast that connects, educates and tries to uplift others living with multiple sclerosis. It provides real-life stories, interviews, and information about DMTs (disease modification therapies) and updates on research developments. www.justmultiplesclerosis.com

    Breakthroughs in MS Research: Cures, Causes, and Game-Changing Treatments

    Send us a text In this special episode of The Just MS Show, we explore the groundbreaking advancements in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) research that are changing lives and redefining what's possible. We cover: The paradigm shift: How B-cells—not T-cells—are the true culprits behind MS, and how this discovery has led to life-changing treatments like Ocrevus and Kesimpta. The EBV connection: Why Epstein-Barr Virus is now considered the leading cause of MS, and how this could lead to a preventative vaccine. Myelin repair therapies: From over-the-counter drugs like clemastine to next-gen breakthroughs like PIPE-307, stem cell grafts, and microglia modulation. Disease-modifying therapies (DMTs): New drugs like Tolebrutinib and CNM-Au8 that are slowing or reversing MS progression. Emerging trends: Using fMRI to track cognitive decline, the impact of mental health on fatigue, and how GLP-1 weight-loss drugs could reduce MS risk. Patient-focused care: Insights on treatment preferences, postpartum considerations, and financial relief through Medicare changes. This isn’t just another research update—it's a roadmap to what may soon be a world where MS is preventable, treatable, and even curable.

    The History of MS: Unraveling a Medical Mystery

    Send us a text In this episode of The Just M.S. Show, we delve into the fascinating history of Multiple Sclerosis (MS), a disease that has puzzled and challenged medical professionals for centuries. From early misinterpretations of symptoms to groundbreaking discoveries in neurology and imaging, we explore the journey of understanding MS. Highlights include the story of St. Lidwina, the first documented case of Augustus d’Este, and the pivotal contributions of Jean-Martin Charcot. Learn how advancements in technology, such as MRI, and the development of disease-modifying therapies have transformed the diagnosis and treatment of MS. Join us as we uncover the past, present, and future of this complex disease. --- Episode Outline 1. Introduction Brief overview of the episode and why understanding the history of MS matters. 2. Early Accounts and Challenges Unconfirmed historical cases, including St. Lidwina and Augustus d’Este. How the fluctuating and varied symptoms hindered early recognition. 3. The Role of Jean-Martin Charcot Charcot’s triad and the naming of MS as “la sclérose en plaques.” The clinicopathological approach and its impact on neurology. 4. Advancements in Pathology Understanding myelin, inflammation, and autoimmune theories. Genetic predisposition and environmental factors (e.g., vitamin D, geography). 5. Revolutionizing Diagnostics Microscopy and the discovery of myelin. The introduction and evolution of MRI technology. 6. The Evolution of Treatment From leeches to steroids and interferons. Modern disease-modifying therapies and their impact on patients’ lives. 7. Cognitive Aspects of MS The early recognition and later disregard of cognitive symptoms. Re-emerging focus on mental and cognitive health in MS care. 8. The Role of Research Organizations The National MS Society, Sylvia Lawry, and global collaborations. 9. Conclusion and Reflection How far we’ve come and the future of MS research and treatment.
