Send us a message about the podcast. For questions about MS please contact our helpline 0800 032 38 39Do you have feel embarrassed about your MS symptoms? Do you find some topics difficult to talk about? You’re not the only one. 85% of people we surveyed felt embarrassed by at least one of their symptoms and many of the community were hiding their symptoms from their partners. A third of people living with MS also avoided seeking medical help due to embarrassment. It’s time to shatter the stigma. MS Trust ambassadors, Trishna Bharadia, Dr Agne Straukiene and Richard Sprenger tackle taboo subjects like sexual dysfunction, bladder and bowel issues, drugs and opening up to your employer.Listen now for honest experiences, tips and more.Show NotesMS Awareness Week 2024mstrust.org.uk/get-involved/ms-awareness-weekWorking life and MS mstrust.org.uk/information-support/work-money-legal/working-lifeEquality actmstrust.org.uk/a-z/equality-actSexual problems for men with MSmstrust.org.uk/a-z/sexual-problems-men-msSexual problems for women with MSmstrust.org.uk/a-z/sexual-problems-women-msBladder and Bowel problemsmstrust.org.uk/a-z/bladder-and-bowel-problemsPodcastsHow can I manage my MS bowel problems?mstrust.org.uk/information-support/podcasts/how-can-i-manage-my-ms-bowel-problemsHow can I manage my MS bladder problems?mstrust.org.uk/information-support/podcasts/how-can-i-manage-my-ms-bladder-problemsTalking toilet troubles in MSmstrust.org.uk/information-support/podcasts/talking-toilet-troubles-msCognition and thinking problems in MSmstrust.org.uk/information-support/podcasts/cognition-and-thinking-problems-msSex and MS part 1 (women)mstrust.org.uk/information-support/podcasts/sex-and-ms-part-1-womenSex and MS part 2 (men)mstrust.org.uk/information-support/podcasts/sex-and-ms-part-2-menRelationships and MSmstrust.org.uk/information-support/podcasts/relationships-and-msWorking life and MSmstrust.org.uk/information-support/podcasts/working-life-and-ms
