HSCT for MS

We discuss HSCT for MS, hearing from Claire in the information team about the criteria for receiving stem cell transplantation. Our guests also include Chris who was eligible for HSCT on the NHS and Gwen who went to Russia to seek treatment for PPMS. Both share their experiences and give advice for anyone else considering the option.

Focus on: fact or fiction?

We live in an information age. Now more than ever before we have ready access to an enormous quantity of data about health, treatments and research – from the internet, though the press, and on social media.

Working life and MS

Most people with MS receive their diagnosis during their working life. This episode covers what working life is like when you have multiple sclerosis. We discuss what rights people have at work, what to do when you feel like you have to give up work or reduce your hours, and much more.
