MEET THE MANIACS

The regular faces behind Myelin Maniacs.Andy lives with RRMS. Warlock lives with SPMS. Different ages, different stages of MS and probably different opinions on just about everything.We're not here to tell you how to live with MS. We're here to talk about what it's actually like.But this isn't just about us.The Maniacs are a rotating panel of people living with MS, bringing different experiences, perspectives and stories to each conversation.

Got an MS question? Ask us.We're not doctors. We're not neurologists. We're just veterans of sitting opposite them, nodding thoughtfully while trying to remember the 14 questions we forgot to write down.Between the panel, we've lived with MS, treatments, symptoms, appointments, relapses, questionable legs and enough hospital waiting rooms to qualify for loyalty points.If we know the answer, we'll talk about it.If we don't know, chances are we know somebody who does.And if all else fails, there's always GTMF™:GOOGLE THAT MOTHERFUCKER. 😂Send us your serious questions, stupid questions, awkward questions or the ones you've been too embarrassed to ask.We won't diagnose you. But we'll definitely discuss it.

🎬 THE MANIACS ARE COMING...The first episodes of Myelin Maniacs start filming Monday. 🧠🎙️And somehow, despite nobody sensible intervening, this thing is actually happening. 😂🎙️ EPISODE 1: MEET THE HOSTMy story. My MS. Why I started this whole bloody thing... and why giving me a microphone seemed like a reasonable decision.🧙‍♂️ EPISODE 2: ENTER WARLOCKMeet my co-host. Hear his story. And discover why putting the two of us near microphones seemed remotely sensible.Then we open the doors.Guests. Rotating Maniacs. Different types of MS. Different stages. Different experiences. Different opinions.Real people talking about what living with MS is actually like.And you don't necessarily need to give us an hour.You might have 60 minutes.You might have 6 minutes.You might have 60 seconds.If you've got something worth saying, we want to give you somewhere to say it.🎧🎥 THE 6-MINUTE MANIACSix minutes. One idea. Your way.Because sometimes you don't want to sit through a 60-minute podcast.Sometimes you've only got six minutes.A thought.
A story.
A rant.
A bit of motivation.
An MS experience.
Something that's helped.
Something that's pissed you off. 😂The idea is simple:You can do almost anything for six minutes.And it doesn't have to be a traditional podcast.🎧 Record your voice.
🎥 Send a video.
✍️ Write something.
🎨 Draw something.Hell, if you've got another way of getting your point across, we'll probably take that too. 😂You don't need fancy equipment. You don't need presenting experience. You don't even need to be comfortable on camera.Script it. Wing it. Ramble your way through it. Record it from the sofa.Whatever works for you.The point isn't making everybody sound the same.It's giving people with MS somewhere to sound like themselves.🕵️ AND THEN THERE'S KEITH...Want to contribute but don't want your real name or face attached to it?Be a Keith.Keith is our completely anonymous Maniac.Keith can be male.
Keith can be female.
Keith can be anybody.You don't actually have to be called Keith. In fact, it's probably funnier if you're not. 😂No real name required.
No camera required.
Audio only if you prefer.
Your identity stays yours.And every anonymous Maniac gets a number.Keith #1. Keith #2. Keith #17...So eventually we'll be able to say:"Remember Keith #12? Absolute legend."And nobody will have the faintest idea who Keith #12 actually was.Being a Keith doesn't mean six minutes either.Give us 60 seconds, 6 minutes or sit down anonymously for the full 60.Keith isn't a format. Keith is your witness-protection programme. 😂Alongside the 6-Minute Maniacs and our mysterious army of Keiths, we'll still have full episodes, guests and rotating panels where we can properly get stuck into things.No medical lectures pretending we're neurologists.No pretending we've got all the answers.Just MS, experience, laughs, motivation, different opinions and real conversations.🎙️ MYELIN MANIACSReal talk. Real life. No filter.🎬 Full episodes.
⚡ 6-Minute Maniacs.
🕵️ Anonymous Keiths.Filming starts Monday. 👀Want to get involved, become a guest, submit something or quietly disappear into the Keith Protection Programme.🧠🎙️ Welcome to the madhouse.

THE BORING BUT IMPORTANT BIT 🧠⚠️Myelin Maniacs is about lived experience, conversation and community, not medical advice.We're not doctors, neurologists or healthcare professionals. Anything discussed on this website, our videos, podcasts or social media reflects personal experiences and opinions and shouldn't be used as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.MS affects everyone differently. What works brilliantly for one Maniac might do absolutely bugger all for another.Always speak to your doctor, neurologist, MS nurse or other qualified healthcare professional before making decisions about medication, treatment or your health.In short: we'll happily tell you what happened to us. We'll never tell you what you should do medically.For everything else, there's always GTMF™: Google That Motherfucker. 😂

🧠 Ask the ManiacsDescription:
Got an MS question? Chuck it in here.Serious, stupid, awkward, embarrassing, or something you’ve been too scared to Google... we’ll take the lot.We’re not doctors, neurologists, or remotely qualified to be left in charge of a prescription pad.We’re just people who’ve spent far too much time dealing with MS and have accumulated a suspicious amount of useless and occasionally useful knowledge.If we don’t know the answer, we’ll find someone who does.GTMF may occasionally be deployed:
Google That Motherfucker. 😂
