When the phrase "chronic illness" is mentioned, what typically comes to mind for most people is likely cancer, heart disease or diabetes. However, there's another chronic illness that affects an estimated nearly 1 million people in the United States and over 2.3 million people worldwide*: Multiple Sclerosis.

As "Midlife-A-Go-Go the podcast!" embarks on Season 6, I'm happy you could join me and my special guest on the show, Cathy Chester. In 1986, Cathy was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Since that time she has become a tireless advocate to raise awareness about the disease. She's on a mission to educate, empower and inspire those afflicted with MS to live full, rich lives. Cathy is the recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award from WEGO Health, she was named one of the “Top 10 Social HealthMakers in Multiple Sclerosis” by Dr. Mehmet Oz’s platform, ShareCare, and the accolades and awards go on.

Cathy shares her MS journey, and I talk about my recent diagnosis of Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis.
