Episode 10 – The Eleventh Time Might Be The Charm: Isolation & MS

Listen to Episode 10  of Myelin & Melanin!

Tune in as we tackle a very serious topic — isolation and MS. MS is a lonely disease. Often, we find ourselves self-isolating at various times and for a myriad of reasons. Other times, the isolation can feel imposed on us by friends and family who may be well meaning, yet oblivious to the impact that their actions (or lack thereof) have on us. Join us as we explore this tough but important topic. Feel free to engage with us, and share your comments and questions.
