As you now know, we decided to do something a little different in expanding the range of content we produce here at Living Well with MS. To honor the community that forms the beating heart of Overcoming MS, this special series called Coffee Break features short interviews with members of the OMS community talking about their personal journeys adopting and staying on the OMS 7 Step Recovery Program, the challenges they encountered and how they overcame them, and their tips and tricks for sticking to the path that leads to better health.

I work as a Senior Product Data Manager in a company in the medical field. I have been living with MS since 2008, with MS being one in a long string of autoimmune diseases. I have been following the OMS program for about 9 years. Today, I look back and even though my journey was very bumpy and at times seemed to be hopeless, I am grateful for the hope the OMS program has given me. It gave me not only the strength and confidence to believe that things could get better even though nobody around me believed it, but more importantly, the OMS program has given me all the tools I need to succeed, not just with MS but with all the other autoimmune conditions I’m contending.   I am actively engaged in several support initiatives. For almost 7 years, I’ve been involved with Overcoming MS Lifestyle Support, a Facebook group dedicated to supporting people with MS following the OMS program. In 2018, I created the first OMS Circle in my city and at work, together with another colleague, I created an employee-driven initiative that strives to build an inclusive workplace and enable access and career opportunities for people with disabilities. These groups not only became a way for me to help others, they have given me the opportunity to meet the most amazing and inspiring people I know.    Questions:   Can you tell us a little about yourself, your family, your life, where you live and anything about yourself you’d like to share? When were you diagnosed with MS and how long have you been following the Overcoming MS 7 Step Recovery Program?  What is your favorite thing about the program, namely what do you feel has made the biggest positive impact?  What was your greatest challenge in adopting the OMS program, and how did you overcome it?  I know you’re quite active in the OMS community, such as your role as Ambassador for the OMS Circle in Berlin. Can you tell us about how that experience has informed your journey? You also run a dynamic support community on Facebook which has over 4,000 members. Can you tell us a little more about that, and the impact you feel this group has had in helping people with MS in Germany?

Coffee Break with community member Sean Kressinger | S2E14

Welcome to our fifth installment of Living Well with MS Coffee Break, where straight from Cornwall (UK) we welcome Sean Kressinger as our guest! As you now know, we decided to do something a little different in expanding the range of content we produce here at Living Well with MS. To honor the community that forms the beating heart of Overcoming MS, this special series called Coffee Break features short interviews with members of the OMS community talking about their personal journeys adopting and staying on the OMS 7 Step Recovery Program, the challenges they encountered and how they overcame them, and their tips and tricks for sticking to the path that leads to better health. We hope you enjoy and learn from these intermezzos between our regular episodes, and as always, your comments and suggestions are always welcome by emailing podcast@overcomingms.org.   Bio:   I’m Sean Kressinger and I live in Cornwall, England. I was diagnosed with RRMS 5 years ago though I may well have had it for 25 years. It’s rather prolific in my family, with an aunt, sister and many cousins having it, so the diagnosis wasn’t a complete shock.   I spent the early part of my career as an RSPCA Inspector (animal welfare) in Lincolnshire and Derbyshire, which was enjoyable at times but highly stressful. This is when my first symptoms appeared but were largely ignored. For relaxation I started to paint portraits and do carpentry projects which eventually gave me a reason to leave my stressful job behind and move to Cornwall. I became self-employed, as a gardener at first, painting portraits whenever possible and eventually re-training as a carpenter specializing in furniture. I’m still a carpenter, working around 2/3 full time, though the ability to paint seems to have vanished!   I jumped at the OMS program as soon as I read about it. It seemed logical, evidence-based, extremely well-researched and wasn’t trying to sell me anything! I was already a vegetarian on the whole, so the dietary aspect wasn’t going to be a huge leap, plus I knew I needed to exercise more, and I had an interest in mindfulness/meditation although I hadn’t tried it. It all made sense to me and it was a huge relief that I could help myself with the condition rather than rely purely on the drugs offered.   At the time, OMS was looking for local Ambassadors to form regional Circles and I applied without hesitation. I became the OMS Ambassador for Cornwall and recently the other ambassadors and circle members of Devon and Cornwall joined forces to alleviate any isolation issues amid the Covid-19 lockdown. For me, the OMS Recovery Program is for life now. I’ve been on it long enough to feel the benefits and I’ll continue to promote it whenever I can.   Questions:   Can you tell us a little about yourself, your family, your life, where you live and anything about yourself you’d like to share? When were you diagnosed with MS and how long have you been following the Overcoming MS 7 Step Recovery Program? What is your favorite thing about the program, namely what do you feel has made the biggest positive impact? What was your greatest challenge in adopting the OMS program, and how did you overcome it? Can you tell us a bit about the video “Fighting Multiple Sclerosis” that your daughter Holly made? How have you had to adapt your daily healthy habits to the new realities imposed by COVID-19? Do you have any other tips or tricks you can share with our audience that might help them on their journeys?   Links:   Fighting Multiple Sclerosis video   If you post something concerning OMS and COVID-19, especially if it’s a bit of good news during this rough patch, don’t forget to use the hashtag #positivelyOMS.   Coming up on our next episode:   On the next full-length episode of Living Well with MS, launching July 8, 2020, Geoff Allix digs into the Top Hacks for Getting into a Meditation Habit with meditation coach and wellbeing mentor Alison Potts.

Building community through Overcoming MS Circles with Vickie Hadge | S2E13

Bio:   Vickie serves as an OMS Ambassador in Connecticut. She was officially diagnosed with MS in 2017 but had her first discernible symptoms in 2011. She lives well with her MS by following the OMS program and encourages others to do the same through her OMS Circle.   Vickie has been running her own Virtual Assistant company since 2003 and enjoys working with her global clients. She is active in her community, serving on the board of an education foundation and volunteering at her church on several committees, as well as cooking for and hosting her family and friends. She is deeply committed to helping others: her family, community, clients and her OMS Circle members.   You can see more of Vickie on her YouTube channel, where she shares her thoughts on living well with chronic illness.   Questions:   Please tell our audience a bit about yourself and your MS journey. When did you discover OMS, and what was it like in the early days trying to follow the recovery program? How important a role did your local “community” play, such as your family and close friends, in helping you adopt the OMS recovery program and make progress on your MS journey in general? What were some of the challenges that having a strong support community helped you overcome? What is an OMS Circle and when did you become an OMS Circle Ambassador? Can you tell us a bit about your process in deciding to undertake this community-building role? Can you tell us a little about the OMS Circle you represent? How would you describe the role of an OMS Circle, and specifically your OMS Circle in Connecticut, in helping people new to OMS successfully adapt to the realities of diet and lifestyle changes? How can a sense of community play an important role for people, like yourself, who have lots of experience following the OMS recovery program? Do they need this as much as the newbies might? Are there any anecdotes you can relay that convey the impact you feel you’re making in your corner of the OMS community?   Links:   Vickie’s YouTube Channel Learn more about OMS Circles   Coming up next:   Coming up next, treat yourself to some insight from fellow OMSer Sean Kressinger on Living Well with MS Coffee Break #5, which launches on Monday, June 29, beaming to you straight from the UK.   Don’t miss out:   Subscribe to this podcast and never miss an episode.

Coffee Break with community member Natalie Cooper | S2E12

Welcome to our fourth installment of Living Well with MS Coffee Break, where we welcome Natalie Cooper as our guest! As you now know, we decided to do something a little different in expanding the range of content we produce here at Living Well with MS. To honor the community that forms the beating heart of Overcoming MS, this special series called Coffee Break features short interviews with members of the OMS community talking about their personal journeys adopting and staying on the OMS 7 Step Recovery Program, the challenges they encountered and how they overcame them, and their tips and tricks for sticking to the path that leads to better health. We hope you enjoy and learn from these intermezzos between our regular episodes, and as always, your comments and suggestions are always welcome by emailing podcast@overcomingms.org.   Bio:   Natalie currently lives in Los Gallardos, Spain with her parents, which at 41 is a little embarrassing (by her own admission).  If the world had not been locked down, she would be enjoying the scenery somewhere else in Spain or Portugal or one of the Balearic Islands, in her campervan with her dog.     A few months before her diagnosis, Natalie had decided to sell her house and move to Spain and work online selling travel holidays. A few months after that she woke up one morning with blurred vision and was eventually diagnosed with MS. She was told by many to wait and start medication, so she put everything on hold and did so. That was a really depressing time for her, with everything seeming to go wrong, all her plans cancelled. How could she travel if she needed medications, blood tests, etc., so it seemed like it would never happen.  Then she came across the OMS book and started the program, and after a few months, she was feeling really good and much more positive. So, she stopped her Copaxone treatment and put her travel plans back on track.     Fast forward to last year: Natalie started a 6-month hiatus from her career to hit the road in her motorhome with her dog Mylo.  She saw amazing places and met lovely people. That's when she started her Facebook page, which was a diary of her travels.  It started as something quite personal and grew into a project she began sharing with friends and the wider MS community. In July 2019, while back in the UK, she caught the travel bug again and took the leap of leaving her job of nearly 9 years to come back to Spain in December.  She didn't have any specific plans but was excited about the idea of setting up OMS-friendly holidays. Then COVID-19 arrived and the entire world shut down. But Natalie is not deterred. She will try to relaunch her vision in 2021 and strike a balance between working half the year and hitting the road with Mylo for the other half. If Natalie has learned anything on her journey, it’s to remain flexible, positive and open to all the possibilities in life.   Questions:   Can you tell us a little about yourself, your family, your life, where you live and anything about yourself you’d like to share? When were you diagnosed with MS and how long have you been following the Overcoming MS 7 Step Recovery Program? What is your favorite thing about the program, namely what do you feel has made the biggest positive impact? What was your greatest challenge in adopting the OMS program, and how did you overcome it? How have you had to adapt your daily healthy habits to the new realities imposed by COVID-19? Do you have any other tips or tricks you can share with our audience that might help them on their journeys?   Links:   Me, My Dog, a Motorhome and a Midlife Crisis   If you post something concerning OMS and COVID-19, especially if it’s a bit of good news during this rough patch, don’t forget to use the hashtag #positivelyOMS.   Coming up on our next episode:   On the next full-length episode of Living Well with MS, launching June 17, 2020, join Geoff Allix as he explores Building Community through OMS Circles with Vickie Hadge, Ambassador of the OMS Circle (aka community support group) in Connecticut.
