MS Diagnosis Journey

In the chronic disease arena, most everyone is more than willing to share their story for their own benefit and that of others. At the core of each story is the diagnosis. Everyone has a story to tell, and every storyteller needs an audience. We invite you to join us for the Multiple Sclerosis Diagnosis Journey podcast and listen to these unique stories. There's much to learn from each other by listening to these stories of diagnosis. By sharing their experiences with others, the MS Diagnosis journey podcast will serve as a vehicle for healing and empowerment for the storyteller. Support of this project is made possible through the generosity of Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson.

MS Diagnosis Journey

Jenny Angus: Be Prepared and Educate Yourself

May 19, 2022 • Laura Kolaczkowski • Episode 9

As an athletic teenager, Jenny Angus had volunteered at an event for MS and other neurological conditions. So when her first recognizable MS symptoms were dismissed in 2004, she was delighted. It would take her almost ten years before she received an official diagnosis - during which time her disease had been left to run unchecked.

As you'll hear, following her prolonged (mis)diagnosis process Jenny no longer takes any chances when meeting with health professionals. She refuses to get emotional and goes in with a list of what she wants to achieve. In all of her journey, she says that educating yourself is key!
