Receiving the news that your MS is progressing can be a life-altering moment. In this podcast episode, we explore the emotional impact of this change and the journey towards acceptance and adjustment.

Helena and Nick are joined by Dr Angeliki Bogosian, a health psychologist specialising in MS, who shares insights on coping strategies, the importance of psychological support, and how mindfulness can help with emotional adjustment.

We also hear real-life stories from Adam and Sharon, as well as Yvonne, who open up about their experiences of living with progressive MS. From the initial shock and frustration to finding ways to regain control and maintain a fulfilling life, their stories are brimming with honesty and useful tips.

Whether you're newly diagnosed, supporting a loved one, or navigating changes in your MS, this episode is here to remind you that you’re not alone
