    Ed just comes across as a top bloke, i'd be saying that even if I didn't know he's been diagnosed with MND. What a tremendous attitude he does have towards having being diagnosed, will be donating to your incredible fund raising efforts.

    A great interview. Fantastic to see the changing room humour is strong and to hear about the amazing loyalty of Ed’s friends and the rugby community. Inspiring.

    Amazing, what a guy. Thought it was particularly powerful that he still wants to hear his friends problems and be there for them

    What a Legend!! ❤ I’m going thru the diagnosis process! Had a biopsy positive for neurogenic atrophy so the back/neck surgery they were suggesting won’t help, now most possible mimics have been ruled out so I’m trying to make peace w it. Thanks a million for this interview!!

    Makes our daily gripes and complaints insignificant. Have a friend that's recently been diagnosed.

    Hi Ed I was diagnosed on November 24th 2022. Since then I've done an insane amount of research and also embarked on an ayahuasca retreat in the hope it might help.

    Obviously Rugby has had a massive impact in the diagnosis. Hits to the head are going to make a massive percentage - towards the diagnosis of Mnd.

    Lol Ed Slater might want to speak to some other specialists because there's a wide body of research showing head injuries increasing the risks of neurological diseases.

      That’s interesting. My brother had a fall, hit his head. Not sure when but now he has MND. Will have to ask him some questions about his fall….

  • @rdcanyon

    Great interview, however I'm surprised how sure he is about head injuries not being a cause

  • @ryanrr2333
    @ryanrr2333 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    If someone’s saying that mnd is not related to head knocks - get a new doctor/specialists. That’s the biggest rubbish I have ever heard.
