    Johnny's MS Secrets: Sleep, Anxiety, and Bathroom Hacks

    Ever wonder what fighting MS really looks like? Spoiler: It’s not always heroic — sometimes it’s just hilarious, raw, and painfully real. Meet Johnny, a guy whose life flipped upside down faster than a Netflix plot twist, and somehow turned it into a story of resilience, humor, and epic bathroom hunts. If you think MS is just about symptoms and meds, think again — this episode proves it’s also about mindset, community, and finding your own personal gym in the basement of life. Johnny’s journey from globetrotting adrenaline junkie to MS warrior is equal parts inspiring and eye-opening. He shares the brutal reality of those first terrifying weeks, the mental rollercoaster of diagnosis, and how a little thing called peer support started turning his dark days into moments of strength. Plus, discover how he turned his house and his headspace into a sanctuary, and why even in the face of chaos, he’s still cracking jokes and searching for the cleanest bathrooms in every city. We break down the power of community — because let’s face it, you don’t want to be drowning in MS alone. Johnny reveals how embracing vulnerability on Instagram, finding your “rebirth date,” and even adjusting Valentine’s Day plans can make all the difference. You’ll discover practical tips on managing sleep issues, understanding the “what ifs,” and why your attitude towards MS can be more crucial than the meds in your cabinet. This episode isn’t just about surviving MS — it’s about thriving in spite of it. If you’re looking for real talk, laughs, and a reminder that you’re not alone on this wild ride, then hit play. Johnny’s story proves that with a bit of humor, a lot of heart, and some creative bathroom strategies, you can come out the other side stronger, smarter, and maybe even a little more organized about where to find the best toilets. Perfect for anyone living with MS, supporting a loved one, or just in need of a good dose of genuine inspiration sprinkled with dad jokes and bathroom tips. Don’t miss it — your journey (and your bladder) will thank you. ✅ Thank you to all of our Warriors and supporters for listening!

    Parking Lot Showdown

    Hold on tight, because episode 100 of our wild ride is here—and no, we didn't think we'd make it past five. From unexpected milestones to MS research victories, we’re diving into how small wins—like that $15 million boost—can actually change lives (and maybe even your outlook). Turns out, celebrating the little wins in the fight against MS is more than just paperwork; it’s hope on steroids. In this episode, Terry and I go full speed ahead with updates on MS funding, reforming pharmacy benefit managers, and the secret sauce to navigating health systems like a pro—because let’s be honest, nobody teaches you how to get the most out of your healthcare. We share hilarious and humbling stories: Terry’s adventures in parking lot justice, my latest appliance upgrades, and the joys (and hazards) of puppy recovery. Plus, we chew over serious topics like drug side effects, the goofy quirks of medication, and what it takes to advocate for yourself in a system that sometimes feels like a maze designed by pranksters. You’ll discover: how community-driven efforts are making waves in MS research, the importance of understanding your medication mechanics (so you don’t fall for the side effects surprise), and the secret lives of accessible appliances—because, yes, a $3,000 oven actually exists. We also talk about the power of stories, inviting a new wave of guests who’ll tell their tales of diagnosis, resilience, and fighting back—no matter the odds. Why does this matter? Because ignoring these issues isn’t an option. Whether you're newly diagnosed, a seasoned warrior, or just someone who loves a good laugh mixed with real talk, this episode is your dose of inspiration, education, and a little bit of mischief. It’s all about celebrating progress, sharing knowledge, and realizing that sometimes, the biggest victories are tiny steps forward. So, if you're tired of the same old health chatter and ready for stories that stick—plus, a few hilarious misadventures—you’ve found your new favorite listen. Hit play; your future self will thank you. ✅ Thank you to all of our Warriors and supporters for listening!

    The Runaround

    The Runaround: When Healthcare Doesn't WorkThis episode was a ride — and not the smooth kind where the bus arrives on time and the door button actually works. Terry opens up about juggling visa chaos, postal strikes, and the ongoing adventure that is Parkwood rehab (shoutout to that elusive doctor’s note). Then we get into the infusion clinic story — the one where accessibility went on vacation and the nurse clearly woke up choosing “policy” over “people”. Don’t worry, Terry’s switching clinics like the queen switching crowns.But there’s good news too: Terry and Brent are leveling up to co-host an MS webinar, so stay tuned for that glow-up moment.Meanwhile, Nick’s October at the historic mansion was basically a full season of a Netflix show — 200 witches, volunteers saving the day, developers circling like crows, and burnout tapping him on the shoulder. He’s taking a breather, recharging, and maybe joining Terry on a call with a doctor about a possible local TV show (yes, we said TV show).The episode closes on something real — the power of support groups and having people you can just be with, no pretending, no filters. Terry and Nick reflect on how these connections make the bad days bearable and the good days even more meaningful.It’s messy. It’s frustrating. It’s funny. It’s hopeful.It’s real life with MS — and we’re glad you’re here for it.✅ Thank you to all of our Warriors and supporters for listening!
