Episode 13. Ravaged - Confronting the rage of motor neurone disease

In this podcast I use touching patient anecdotes to explore the characteristic and devastating manifestations of motor neurone disease, such as fasciculations and spasticity. I also explore the relentless progression of the disease. I also discuss the current understanding of the risk factors and mimics of the disease, and the challenges of making the diagnosis. I also covered the palliative treatments that are available, and the way many patients face up to the inevitable mortality of the disease.
