This week Martin and Patrick have kindly been invited into the home of Karen Turner who suffers from Multiple Sclerosis.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a condition that can affect the brain and spinal cord, causing a wide range of potential symptoms, including problems with vision, arm or leg movement, sensation, or balance.

It's a lifelong condition that can sometimes cause serious disability, although it can occasionally be mild.

In many cases, it's possible to treat symptoms. Average life expectancy is slightly reduced for people with MS.

It's most commonly diagnosed in people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s although it can develop at any age. It's about 2 to 3 times more common in women than men.

MS is one of the most common causes of disability in younger adults.

Karen gives a candid interview with the boys about her private life, describing the onset of multiple sclerosis from the early signs and symptoms, the diagnosis, the progression, and living daily with the illness. 

This is a moving interview, truthful, and honest, and delves into the depths of multiple sclerosis and the daily struggles and support needed to live as much as an independent life as possible.

Karen is very strong, and one thing that is very apparent in this interview is the positive attitude Karen has to cope with each day and moving forward with her life, this interview is truly inspirational a we are so grateful to Karen for sharing her story with us.
