For many of you, you’ve walked with us on this journey from the beginning and you have followed Kelley's journey with Multiple Sclerosis and tremors. Today's episode is a very exciting one because we have one of her lead Neurologists joining us to better understand what is happening in the brain of an MS patient with tremors and how each of us can improve mental health as we contemplate our own thoughts and beliefs. For those of you who are new to the podcast or have joined us at some point along the way, we are so glad you’re here. We hope you enjoy this episode.
