Milestone on the Parallel Bars: Progress in My MS Journey

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1941962/fan_mail/new] In this episode of The Just MS Show, I share a recent visit with my physio doctor that became a meaningful milestone in my multiple sclerosis journey. After years of challenges, setbacks, and rebuilding following my back injury, hearing such a positive reaction from someone who has closely followed my condition for over a decade meant a lot to me. I talk about the progress I’ve made, the physical goals I’m still working toward, and how staying consistent with rehab, gym routines, and mindset continues to move me forward. I also touch briefly on how coding, AI tools, and building projects have become part of my daily routine and recovery process. Thanks for listening, and I hope this episode brings some encouragement to anyone pushing through their own challenges.

The Rare Good MS News Report: My DXA Surprise

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1941962/fan_mail/new] In this episode of The Just MS Show, I share two moments that define the push-pull of life with MS: a recent fall (my “fish out of water” moment) and the unexpectedly positive results from my annual DXA (DEXA) bone density scan, which I do because of prior high-dose steroid treatments. I walk through the scan process, the follow-up with my doctor, and why this result felt rare—and important. I also reflect on what may be helping: consistent, nutrient-focused eating and tailored, weight-bearing work (including squat sets tied to daily transfers, gym resistance, and pool time). It’s a small win in a year when mobility has been tougher—and a prompt to double down on what’s working. Note: Personal experience only; not medical advice.

Accident, Accessibility, and Unexpected Good News

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1941962/fan_mail/new] In this episode, I catch up on the past month or two — from a tough fall that sent me to the ER (thankfully, nothing broken) to a string of lessons in accessibility and recovery. I talk about attending recent Leafs and Jays games, comparing the accessibility setups and how each outing comes with its own cost-and-recovery balance. I also touch on an expensive physio assessment that didn’t meet expectations — and share a bit of unexpectedly good news from a recent doctor’s visit that gave me some encouragement moving forward. It’s been a stretch of setbacks, slow steps, and small wins — but progress all the same.
