Jess Brien & Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and being a medical mystery

UMMM HI! Here it is! A very requested episode! (I hope it lives up to your expectations omg) Today, the tables are turned, and my friend Ilia Lindsay is interviewing me, and we are chatting about my diagnosis of relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis and what it’s like being a medical mystery.

In this episode we chat about my MS diagnosis while in my final year of drama school, the effect of that dx on my life and career, what happened when a neurologist found a random lesion on my brain that looked a lot like PML, and the inspiration behind starting That’s So Chronic.

Not only is Ilia an incredible psychologist and friend, but she has also just become an incredible Mum. So throughout the episode you will hear my niece Caoimhe in the background adding her thoughts to the conversation… We’re starting her young!
