They met at a National Multiple Sclerosis Society event in 2002, and since then have dedicated their lives to MS activism and helping others to live their best life.In this interview, Dan and Jennifer talk about the sense of shame that surrounded an MS diagnosis in the 90s-2000s, which meant that they were unaware of previous histories of MS in both of their families. They also advise people looking for their own diagnosis to be persistent and keep detailed notes of their symptoms, in order to make it easier for doctors to join the dots.Visit A Couple Takes on MS and listen to the podcast  Interview by Laura KolaczkowskiEdited by Steve Woodward at The Podcasting EditorPodcast artwork by Jackie Zimmerman at Queen of GSDBackground Music is “Old Photos” by Olexy Support of this project is made possible through the generosity of Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson.
