    181. Comparing Yourself to The Former You - A Refreshing Perspective

    181. Comparing Yourself to The Former You - A Refreshing Perspective

    This is an episode where I wanted to share a conversation that I just had with someone who has multiple sclerosis about a week or so ago. And this conversation was just so eye opening and really stopped me in my tracks and made me think about something, this phrase that I have been telling people for about 10 years. And essentially it all boils down to the comparison game.

    179. MS Spasticity vs. Muscle Tightness

    Not too long ago, I asked my Instagram followers what they wanted a podcast episode on. And one topic that was repeated by multiple people was spasticity. But not only that, the difference between spasticity vs. muscle tightness. And there were also some people who wanted to learn about muscle spasms. So I'm going to throw that in here as well! Let's dive in!

    177. Conserving Your Energy in MS 101

    Today, I want to share a conversation with you that I had about a year ago. It was with someone on social media, after I had shared something in my Instagram stories. Someone with MS commented her thoughts on what I shared and it was something that really stuck with me. Since it hit home with me I wanted to share this with you! I want everyone to hear it because I know that there are more people that feel that same way.

    176. Reduce Pain in Multiple Sclerosis

    176. Reduce Pain in Multiple Sclerosis

    Today, I want to talk about pain, and the reason I want to talk about pain is because two thirds of people with multiple sclerosis will have some level of pain at some point in their MS journey. And so I really wanted to break down what MS pain is like, what it's caused from, and how it's different from orthopedic pain. And we're also going to touch a bit on some treatment options!
