🎙️ Workout to Wheelchair
Why Trying to Get Stronger Made Me Weaker
In this raw and personal episode of The Just MS Show, I share how pushing my body too far — even with the best intentions — led to injuries that rapidly worsened my Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
From breaking my foot and rib, to temporary blindness, to a devastating lower back injury during lockdown workouts, each moment shifted my MS progression — and my mobility — in ways I couldn’t predict.
You’ll hear the full story:
How I was diagnosed with MS in 2012 and told I’d never walk again — but proved them wrong (for a while)
The injuries that changed everything, including a freak accident doing squats with makeshift weights
The 7-month hospital stay that followed, and how I rebuilt myself through solo rehab at home
What I’m doing now to stay strong, safe, and moving forward with MS
Whether you're newly diagnosed, living with chronic illness, or navigating disability and mobility changes — this episode offers an honest look at the risks of overexertion, the importance of safety, and the power of persistence.
👉 Listen now and learn why MS isn’t just about symptoms — it’s about survival.
The Just MS (Multiple Sclerosis) Show, w host Justin Loizos, is a podcast that connects, educates and tries to uplift others living with multiple sclerosis. It provides real-life stories, interviews, and information about DMTs (disease modification therapies) and updates on research developments.
