Frustrated how multiple sclerosis is typecast in the media? We often hear that TV shows, newspapers and social media do not show the kind of MS most of you experience. So we asked three journalists with MS for their standpoint. Listen to our chat with Rachel Horne, Daf Wyn and Richard Sprenger - as we shine the spotlight on MS in the media, and why we think a more realistic approach is long overdue.  Episode notes: - MS Trust News and stories: mstrust.org.uk/news-stories - Share your story with the MS Trust: mstrust.org.uk/news-and-stories/send-us-your-story - MS Trust Blog, What made Daf Wyn call his doctor?: mstrust.org.uk/news/stories/what-made-daf-wyn-call-his-doctor - MS Trust Blog, A sceptic's guide to wellness: mstrust.org.uk/news/stories/sceptics-guide-wellness - Guardian series; A sceptic's guide to wellness: theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/series/a-sceptic-s-guide-to-wellness - Rachel Horne Prize for Women's Research in MS: Rachelhorneprize.comNews & storiesStay in the know with the latest news, research and stories from the MS community.

In this episode, we talk about altered sensations. So what are altered sensations then? They are a bunch of sensory symptoms that can occur in MS, such as burning, tingling, pins and needles, crawling, numbness, prickling and the list goes on!  We talk to Dr Amanda Howarth, a pain specialist about what exactly they are and why they happen. We also share some of the MS community's life hacks around living with altered sensations.Episode notes: - MS Trust A-Z page on altered sensations: mstrust.org.uk/altered-sensations - MS Trust A-Z page on pain: mstrust.org.uk/pain - MS Trust Blog - What's with the strange tingling, crawling, burning and prickling feelings?: mstrust.org.uk/news/expert/whats-strange-tingling-crawling-burning-and-prickling-feelings- MS Trust A-Z on Complementary and alternative medicine: mstrust.org.uk/complementary-and-alternative-medicine- MS Trust A-Z on Cannabis: mstrust.org.uk/cannabis- MS Trust A-Z on Sativex: mstrust.org.uk/sativex- MS Trust A-Z on Gabapentin: mstrust.org.uk/gabapentin

For our last podcast of the year, we thought we'd get back to basics and concentrate on one of the most important things the MS Trust does, and that is answering your questions about MS.  We've compiled a list of the most popular topics which people have contacted us about this year. We chat with our Head of Information and Engagement, Claire who works on the MS Trust helpline, to talk us through some of these topics.Episode notes:- What we do; mstrust.org.uk/what-we-do/about-ms-trust- MS helpline and information; mstrust.org.uk/what-we-do/about-us/ms-helpline-and-information- MS Trust Facebook group facebook.com/groups/multiplesclerosistrust Whether you have recently been diagnosed, want to know more about a symptom you are experiencing, or need information on the different MS drugs and treatments, our MS Trust helpline team are here to answer your questions.

Cognition is the medical term for thinking, and problems with thought and memory are known as cognitive problems.

Problems with your sight, such as optic neuritis, can be an early symptom of MS, but can also arise if you've had MS for some time.To try and explain the ins and outs of visual problems we chat to Dr Benson Chen a neuro-ophthalmologist, about some common eye issues in MS and ask him some questions the MS community sent us.  We also chat to Deb about her own experiences with eye issues that eventually led to her MS diagnoses.Episode notes:- Visual problems in MS - Information from the MS Trust: mstrust.org.uk/a-z/visual-problems-Optic neuritis - article from the MS Trust: mstrust.org.uk/a-z/optic-neuritis-Double vision (diplopia) - article from the MS Trust: mstrust.org.uk/a-z/double-vision-diplopia-Nystagmus - article from the MS Trust: mstrust.org.uk/a-z/nystagmusNext episodeOur next podcast will be on the topic of Cognition and MS.

We are back with part two of our Sex and MS podcast. At the MS Trust we have produced content about Sex and MS for many years, and if there is one thing that we have learnt, it is that sex is a tricky subject to talk about. That’s why, we’ve once again invited subject experts, Denise Middleton and Lesley Catterall to answer some of the of your questions around sex and MS for men. We also chat with Dom from the MS guide, about his own experiences on the subject of sex and MS.

At the MS Trust, we know that talking about sex and sexual health isn’t easy. Many people find it an awkward or embarrassing topic to discuss, whether that’s with partners or health professionals. That’s why, we’ve invited subject experts, MS nurses,  Denise Middleton and Lesley Catterall to answer some of the questions you may want to know the answer to but didn’t want to ask. Before that we hear from Roxy, aka Multiple Sclerosis Fashionista about their experiences of sex as someone living with MS and hear some tips she has for others.

Disease modifying drugs (DMDs) are a group of treatments for people with multiple sclerosis. Most DMDs are for people with relapsing remitting MS (RRMS), but there are some that are licenced for use by people with progressive MS. For people with RRMS, disease modifying drugs reduce the number of relapses you might experience as well as reducing the severity of any relapses you do have.There are a wide range of drugs approved for use by the NHS in the UK. Each drug offers a different combination of benefits and possible risks.In this podcast we are going to be chatting to neurologist Kate who is going to explain the ins and outs of DMDs and how you can go about choosing one. Then we will be talking to Sam, who shares her personal journey of choosing DMDs.Episode notes:- Disease modifying drugs - MS Trust A-Z: mstrust.org.uk/about-ms/ms-treatments/disease-modifying-drugs-dmds- Frequently asked questions about DMD - Information from the MS Trust: mstrust.org.uk/about-ms/ms-treatments/ms-decisions/frequently-asked-questions-faqs-MS Decisions  DMD Tool - Information from the MS Trust: mstrust.org.uk/about-ms/ms-treatments/ms-decisions-aid- Disease modifying drugs- MS Trust booklet : shop.mstrust.org.uk/publications/disease-modifying-drugsNext episode Our next two podcasts will be on the topic of sex and MS. One for men and one for women, or people who identify as either.

Our relationships with the people around us, whether family, friends, partners or work colleagues, are important for our emotional health and practical support. But sometimes MS can feel like a barrier to those relationships, making it harder to maintain the ones that matter to us or develop new ones in the future. So today we are going to dive into some of those issues. We will be joined by Billy from shift. MS who lives with MS himself and Flora from or MS Trust helpline.  Episode notes: - Relationships and family life - Information from the MS Trust: mstrust.org.uk/life-ms/relationships-and-family-life - Talking with fiends and family about MS - Information from the MS Trust: mstrust.org.uk/life-ms/family-and-relationships/talking-friends-and-family -Information for carers - Information from the MS Trust:mstrust.org.uk/life-ms/family-and-relationships/information-carers - MS Trust booklet; Someone I know has MS: shop.mstrust.org.uk/publications/someone-i-know-has-ms/- MS Trust booklet; Kid's guide to MS: shop.mstrust.org.uk/publications/kids-guide-to-ms/ - Caring for someone with MS - Podcast from the MS Trust: mstrust.org.uk/resources/podcasts-ms-trust/caring-someone-ms -MS Trust Facebook Group: facebook.com/groups/multiplesclerosistrust -Shift.ms -a social network and community for people with MS: shift.ms -Shift.ms Buddy system: shift.ms/the-buddy-network -Relationships and MS - webinar from MS Society Ireland:  youtube.com/watch?v=zcp92YezvZM Next episode Our next podcast will be on disease modifying Drugs and MS, where we are hoping to dive into the world of MS treatments and answer some questions on the subject that you may have.

Today we are talking about the often misunderstood topic of advance care planning. The MS Trust recently published an information book titled ‘Thinking ahead: setting out your wishes for your future care and treatment’. It’s a useful resource designed to help you to understand and share your personal values, and preferences, for your future medical care with your loved ones and your healthcare team.  The resource was produced by Ali, a member of the Information team here at the MS Trust, as well as MS Specialist Nurses and subject experts, Ellie Garlick and Sarah Roderick. In this episode we have all three along to shed some more light on the subject of advance care planning. What is an Advance care plan and why should you have one, how can you write one, when should you consider writing one and who can help with writing one? *There are a few mentions of end of life care which some listeners may find upsetting.*Episode notes- MS Trust booklet; Thinking ahead: shop.mstrust.org.uk/publications/thinking-ahead-setting-out-your-wishes/- MS Trust YouTube channel: youtube.com/mstrust - Advance care plan resource for England and Wales: advancecareplan.org.uk/ - Anticipatory care planning toolkit for Scotland:  ihub.scot/project-toolkits/anticipatory-care-planning-toolkit/anticipatory-care-planning-toolkit/ - Advance care plan resource document templates – includes examples of templates for advance care planning, advance statements and advance decisions to refuse treatment: advancecareplan.org.uk/examples-document-templates/-My Living Will – information about living wills, advance decisions and advance statements:  mylivingwill.org.uk/-Make, register or end a lasting power of attorney in England and Wales: gov.uk/power-of-attorney -Setting up a power of attorney in Scotland:  mygov.scot/power-of-attorney -Setting up an enduring power of attorney in Northern Ireland: nidirect.gov.uk/articles/managing-your-affairs-and-enduring-power-attorney
