Episode 123: My MS Toolkit with Dr. Anna Kratz


Listen Later

Access to MS symptom self-management care is extremely limited. That's why my guest, Dr. Anna Kratz, and her colleagues created My MS Toolkit --  a web-based, self-guided symptom self-care program designed especially for people with MS. (And it's FREE!)   

We're talking with Dr. Kratz about how My MS Toolkit was developed and what makes it such a powerful online tool for people living with MS.

We're also talking about the latest petitions filed with the Supreme Court in the battle over the Affordable Care Act (and why this is so vitally important to people affected by MS!). If you're using gabapentin (Neurontin) to manage MS pain, we'll tell you about the warning that was just issued by the FDA.

Yet another study gives us yet another reason to start disease-modifying therapy as soon as possible. And we'll explain why collecting real-world data about MS is so important, and what a team of MS experts is recommending to improve the process of real-world data collection and analysis.

We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??! ___________   Where I'll Be in January  :27
