We talk about the difficulty of diagnosis when it comes to Lupus, trying to put out the 'shame flame' and the benefits of a low G.I. diet!
By the way, the word 'Lupus' comes from the Latin word for 'Wolf' and is attributed to the thirteenth-century physician Rogerius, who used it to describe the erosive facial lesions sometimes associated with the condition that were reminiscent of a wolf's bite.

Fellow broadcaster and all-around funnyman, Lee Wilkinson discusses growing up with a mixture of Osteochondromata and Physical Achalasia.
Lee has a unique situation when it comes to the disability bracket, as he has ultimately lived some of his life being very 'visibly disabled' through time spent in a wheelchair but also has spent a lot of time out of the chair and in the 'invisible disability' category as well.
He was in fact even prevented from earning an international cap for England due to being deemed "not disabled enough"!

This week we talk to self-confessed 'film nerd', broadcaster and blogger Carrie Morrison about their experience of living with Autism.
As well as podcasting and blogging, Carrie has a lively interest in film, drama and theatre.
In this episode, they talk about their diagnosis and their various beefs with misrepresentation of their condition, including the latest one with none other than mysterious 'hidey-in-the-backgroundy' popstar Sia.

And breaking down stereotypes, they also seems to be quite timid when it comes to Maths... at least that's what I think they said! ;)
