Episode highlights:
“I had what I would best describe as a lightning bolt moment. Quite literally, at the height of the penalty shootout, what felt like an intense electric shock went right the way through my system. ” - 2:30 - Lee Cooper
“I remember my consultant having said to me, ‘The likelihood is that you have multiple sclerosis’, to which my response at that time was, ‘Oh, thank you’.” - 7:30 - Lee Cooper
“I have something called RRMS or relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis. It's the most common form of MS and accounts for about 85% of initial diagnoses.” - 16:40 - Lee Cooper
“I'm not suggesting that what works for me will work for you. I think you've just got to try and find a way of dealing with it as best you can. But I prioritise exercise, particularly weights, because I think the stronger I can be the better equipped I'm going to be to be able to deal with whatever my body might choose to throw at me.” - 22:35 - Lee Cooper
