MS Confidential is a monthly webcast series of candid conversations on navigating the chaos of MS. Life with multiple sclerosis is complicated—not just in the ways one typically thinks of—unsteadiness, difficulty walking, the countless doctor’s appointments and MRI’s. Many of these symptoms are visibly apparent and often only discussed by “experts.” But there are other far less visible effects that MS can hijack. The way we relate to not only our caregivers, family, and friends can be complicated when we don’t know what the future holds for our brains and bodies. It can be terrifying, burdensome, and can be humiliating in the way we are treated by society and even by people close to us. If we are lucky, we can find humorous moments as we try to adjust to the multiple changes MS brings, and perhaps discover experiences of joy and happiness on our individual journeys.

Consisting of a few diverse individuals all living with various stages of MS—Elizabeth Jameson, Annie Brewster, and Kyle Kranich  MS Confidential provides a safe space for them to disclose some of their innermost frustrations and challenges, engage in open conversations with one another, and provide opportunities for viewers to participate as well.

Produced by Lisa Foote and Kimberly Warner in collaboration with Unfixed Media. www.unfixedmedia.com
