In this episode, I open up about the silent battles with MS pain and its sneaky way of messing with friendships and daily life. I touch on the tricky bits of explaining what this pain feels like and the extra stuff you've got to juggle when you're living with a chronic illness. It's a bit about the loneliness and the guilt trips, too, and those hidden struggles that aren't always obvious. I challenge the idea that being good at handling pain means it doesn't hurt as much, stressing the need for more empathy and understanding. I wrap up by encouraging folks with MS to seek support and be easy on themselves, highlighting the unbeatable strength it takes to face chronic pain day in, day out.
