| Jenna's Diagnosis Story | 19 mars 2026 | 01:03:18 | |
In this episode, Jenna shares her diagnosis story... from unexplained vision changes in college, to five MRIs in one year, conflicting opinions from doctors, and finally receiving her official MS diagnosis at 21. She opens up about navigating her twenties with a life-altering diagnosis, dealing with confusing MyChart results, being told not to "Google MS", experiencing new lesions with every scan, and the emotional weight of living in the unknown. We talk about medical gaslighting, hurtful comments from those closest to us, choosing a treatment under pressure, and the moment she decided to find a doctor she truly trusted. Jenna's story is one that highlights uncertainty, resilience, and the importance of advocating for yourself when your body is telling you something isn’t right. If you’ve ever felt dismissed by your doctors, struggled to get answers, or questioned whether your symptoms were “real” this episode is for you. | |||
| Ashleigh's Diagnosis Story | 12 mars 2026 | 01:04:18 | |
In this episode, Ashleigh shares her full diagnosis story... the one she's never told from start to finish. From early symptoms she dismissed to sudden vision loss, medical gaslighting, and learning she had MS from a call from her local pharmacy. We talk about optic neuritis, firing doctors, the shift in relationship dynamics, navigating treatment options (Copaxone, Gilenya, Lemtrada, Ocrevus), developing Graves' disease, and finding the specialist who changed everything. If you’re in diagnostic limbo or learning how to advocate for yourself in the medical system, this episode is for you. You deserve compassion. You deserve answers. And you don’t have to settle. | |||

In our VERY FIRST episode of The Ch*ill* Chats podcast, we introduce ourselves, share a bit about our lives with MS, and talk about why this space needed to exist. We open up about navigating unpredictable bodies, the power of community, and what we hope this podcast becomes for anyone living the chronic illness life while we do our very best to honor both the beauty and the struggle. If you’ve been craving a space where you don’t have to explain your exhaustion… welcome. We're happy you're here x | |||
