The holiday season provides me with an opportunity to indulge in what's become a RealTalk MS tradition. I reserve the last two episodes of the year to revisit the most compelling and important conversations that I've had over the past year. This week, I'm revisiting two conversations I had with two experts on MS and women's health issues.

MS affects women almost 3 times more frequently than it affects men, which should make understanding how MS might impact other women's health issues a priority. Unfortunately, that hasn't really been the case. The good news is we're seeing that situation change and you can expect to hear much more about MS and women's health in the coming year.    This brings me to two conversations that I had this past year when I talked with Dr. Rhonda Voskuhl and Dr. Anna Shah.    Dr. Shah is an Associate Professor of Neurology and Associate Clinic Director of Outpatient Neurology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.   Dr. Voskuhl is the Director of the UCLA Multiple Sclerosis Program, she holds the Jack H. Skirball Chair in MS, and Dr. Voskuhl also serves as Faculty Neurologist of the UCLA Comprehensive Menopause Care Program.

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

Happy Holidays!  :22
