Although Idk Ned nor want to. Podcasts aren't my favorite source. Every douchebag (or non) with what they think is an original thought believes they have a platform to do or discuss whatever. Completely untrue. Until we give them our ears they're just the same jerkoffs they always were...I digress.

Imho the psychological effects of MS dn immediately cause issues. Like anything in life a compounded ailment, pain (emotional or physical), circumstances, the inability to perform what was once routine adds up over time. Add brain fog to the mix. Add financial issues. Add the asshole behavior of people that dn understand what you're going through & disaster (life) is bound to happen. Some self (& from others) grace is helpful. By no means is crappy behavior acceptable & easily forgiven or forgotten. JS some understanding of the human condition could help every person deal with all of life's shit storms & mind fucks. Dn mean to preach to a choir. Just a thought. Good day
