An inspiring story from an inspiring person. Jay was diagnosed with MS during the covid-19 pandemic. A stressful and emotional journey, Jay shares his story with us all to help raise awareness of this often debilitating disease.
Hi Laura, I’d be happy to share my interesting story as I was diagnosed during the Pandemic. I’m receiving my treatment at the Heath in cardiff which has the most amazing MS staff 🙌🏻
Hi Jay. I to have RRMS and I was diagnosed last January. I have just had my first Ocrevus IV. Like you I want to work, but it is so difficult, both physically and mentally. I know what you're going through brother.
Great interview!! I was able to relate to some of his story. Like hereditary. My niece and nephew have it. My dad has polio back in the 50’s. Maybe miss diagnosed since he wasn’t in the iron lung. Idk. Would love to learn more if anyone out there is a has any 411 on it that would be awesome to come on and share with others.
I let my neurology team have all my Grandads medical records as they were interested in his MS medical history. I'm in the process of trying to get these back because they might shed some light on MS as it was many years ago when they didn't know much about it. If I get them I'll share them with everyone.
Everyone say MS is not generally transmitted and i know in my family know one had MS accept me.but alot of times i wonder...maybe more of our grandparents had it and just thought it was age becausr they never go to doctors 🤷♀️
Hey, thank you. Jay's story was very interesting. Yes I find it very interesting, I only knew about my Grandad having MS because I saw him when I was a little girl and remember sitting on his lap when he was in a wheelchair. He was always in pain and rubbing his side but back then they didn't really know much about MS. Maybe you could ask your family members about medical history in the family?
@@lauraironstalksms I have already. Nobody had illness to the point it stood out. I need to enquire deeper. Even if I find out, it won’t really help my MS unless they had a magic potion to cure it
No unfortunately not, but if Iook at how far medical research and medicine has come since my grandad, then maybe he would have lived a longer less painful life. Knowledge is always a powerful thing
@@lauraironstalksms Laura, I know someone with MS who would be great as one of your guests on this? If you mail me on mister.ms.uk [at] gmAil.com I can send you her details. She has a MS TH-cam channel too
Hello, I didn't see this message until now as its in the held for review box due to the email link. If you think your friend would like to help raise awareness and do a video chat you could direct her to the link on the video and then she would have the choice 😊. Great that she's out there making videos too, the more help and awareness of MS the better 💪

Very relatable for me! I love his determination!
The way Jay manages with his MS is inspirational. Very strong mindset 💪

I think you could be right, also back then they didn't know much about MS at all
True
