Strong Tea - Episode 29 - Living With An Incurable Disease

Katie has known Joe since she was a teeny tiny girl, their mums worked together many moons ago and are life long friends.

 

Joe is one hell of a human! Tenacious, outgoing and supremely positive, he has lived all over the world and had an array of jobs.

 

In his late 20s, during training for a half marathon, Joe noticed some changes in his body, a series of things which just didn’t feel right. After multiple trips to the GPs and physios, Joe was advised by a friend to speak to his GP again about a neurological issue rather than a physical issue. This was the start of Joe’s journey with Multiple Sclerosis.

 

Multiple sclerosis is a lifelong condition that affects the brain and nerves. There is no known cure and there are many symptoms.

 

Joe’s journey has been varied and difficult but his positivity is second to none.

 

This episode explores exactly what MS is, how it affects different people, how it's treated and managed and what the future holds for Joe.
