On this episode of the Ramp. It. Up! Podcast we are observing Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Awareness Month. MS is a chronic neurological disease where the immune system attacks the central nervous system (brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves), causing symptoms like fatigue, vision loss, pain, and mobility issues.

The month of March is set aside to raise awareness, promote early diagnosis, and support funding to find a cure. Our Guest for this episode of the podcast is Regina Beach, an author, an adventurer, a fellow performer of the From Where I Sit project, and a person living with MS.

Regina shares about her life, her work in the arts, navigating living with MS, and how to keep things sexy with your partner, even with a disability.
