Show Notes Chapter Markers

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.
