🎙️ PODCAST IDEA – LOOKING FOR A FEW MSers

I've been asked quite a few times now if I'd go on a podcast and just talk openly about MS. Not the polished medical version. The actual living-with-it version. So it's got me thinking... What if instead of one person talking about MS, we got a small panel together from completely different points...

Newly diagnosed, started DMT, thyroid issue

Ok - got diagnosed in late April, started DMT in June. One scan prior to DMT showed a nodule on my thyroid - will the existence of this + DMT put me at greater risk of thyroid issues?

Numb dead right leg

I've had a numb and dead right leg now for a month. Haven't been able to work with it but I need to go back. Saw consultant who said it was a relapse. Couldn't start me on steroids as I had a UTI at the time and was on antibiotics. Won't start them until I have a urgent MRI but this isn't until 12th...
