Got MS And Thought Here Johnny Was Brill

posted by Shaun Turner on 23 Feb 2009 at 11:29 am

Hi my name is Shaun Turner

I have had MS for 13 years I thought Here Johnny was brilliant. I learnt more from the program then anything I have learnt from the hospital. The man with MS was great and I thing he was a gradate to people like myself. I lost my licence about 6 months ago because a consultant I was seeing told the DVLA that I used Cannabis for pain relief. I ride a Motorbike and like Johnny said loosing his painting would be bad I new were he was coming from.

Anyway once again brilliant programme and WELL DONE JOHNNY.

Regards

Shaun
