Description

Welcome to SPS UNSCRIPTED with your hosts L and M. A podcast discussing life whilst facing the challenges of Stiff Person Syndrome, a rare neurological disease. Join us in our informative, open informal podcast as we discuss a disease so deeply immersed in a medical model and it’s language, often resulting in dehumanisation and loss of self for those with SPS. This podcast follows the journey of two friends, both one in a million, learning to heal, breathe and seek daily gratitude. Join us around the kitchen table as we discuss all things life. A gentle reminder: We are not medical professionals, this is a reflective journey of our lives with SPS whilst remaining under the care of medical teams whose advice we seek and follow. We strongly recommend you consultant your health professional with regards to any questions or concerns. ***Some sensitive content, may not appropriate for children.*** All content photographs and graphics are the property of @copyright of SPS UNSCRIPTED.
