Episode description

Jasmine worked in the disability field for over a decade before becoming disabled herself with myasthenia gravis. Myasthenia gravis is a chronic autoimmune, neuromuscular disease that causes weakness in the skeletal muscles that worsens after periods of activity and improves after periods of rest. Jasmine walks the fellas through her list of treatments (including needing to pump her own lungs to breathe easier) and how her illness has put into perspective how important her work is.
