Episode 232: Managing MS and Comorbidities with Dr. Ruth Ann Marrie


Listen Later

Research shows that about 50% of the people living with MS will develop another chronic health condition, or comorbidity, in their lifetime. Whether it's high blood pressure, diabetes, or something else, living with comorbid conditions adds extra challenges to living with MS.

Joining me to discuss how comorbidities affect people living with MS and what you can do to avoid developing some of those comorbidities is one of the leading experts on the subject, Dr. Ruth Ann Marrie. 

We're also talking about why a Phase 2 clinical trial for a prospective MS disease-modifying therapy got a do-over.

We'll share some very encouraging news about how the enrollment for a new study turned out.

We'll also share results from a study in the U.K. that remind us why everyone living with MS needs to be vaccinated and boosted.

We'll give you the registration info for this year's series of First Descents (no cost!) outdoor adventures for young adults living with MS.

And we'll tell you how to register for the National MS Society's virtual 2022 Public Policy Conference.

We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
