The new year brings with it several significant benefits for many people affected by MS. We're reviewing how the nearly 400,000 people with MS who rely on Medicare for their health insurance will save thousands of dollars, how people with MS who currently have medical debt will see a big improvement on their credit report, and how people who fly with their mobility device will see major improvements in how the airlines treat them.

We're also talking with Craig Bianco about his experience as a member of the Care Partner Advisory Board creating the MS Care Partner Connection web portal.

And we'll tell you about the Phase 1 clinical trial for the Epstein-Barr Virus vaccine that's getting underway.

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

Privacy Policy

There are genetic risks associated with MS, there are demographic risks of experiencing a more severe disease course, and there are also behavioral and lifestyle risks that will increase the chance that someone will be diagnosed with MS. Joining me today to discuss behavioral and lifestyle MS risk factors and how they can be mitigated are Doctor Jared Bruce and Dr. Amanda Bruce.

Dr. Jared Bruce is a neuropsychologist and the director of psychiatric research at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine. Dr. Amanda Bruce is a clinical psychologist and an assistant professor in the Department of Behavioral Pediatrics at the University of Kansas Medical Center.

We're also reviewing the details of the Inflation Reduction Act, which means, beginning in 2025, significantly lower out-of-pocket costs for prescription medications for the quarter-million people with MS who are on Medicare.

We'll tell you about study results for a novel drug that was effective in remyelination and restoring lost function to mice with the mouse model of MS.

We'll share the details of a study that shows how specific comorbidities affect specific MS outcomes.

We'll review results of a study that shows men with MS who start a high-efficacy disease-modifying therapy experience fewer relapses.

And we'll tell you how an artificial intelligence chatbot soundly beat human experts in predicting the results of neuroscience studies.

RealTalk MS Episode 384 Guests: Dr. Jared Bruce and Dr. Amanda Bruce

One of the most important MS research events every year is the annual European Committee for Treatment and Research in MS Scientific Congress, usually referred to by its acronym, ECTRIMS. You've made our podcast episode that followed ECTRIMS the most downloaded episode of the year. So, this week, I'm revisiting the two conversations that I had immediately after the ECTRIMS conference ended.

In what has become an annual tradition, it's my privilege to sit down with the National MS Society's Executive Vice-President of Research, Dr. Bruce Bebo, just minutes after the conclusion of ECTRIMS to get his first impressions of the news and presentations that caught his eye. This year, I also wanted to bring you the perspective of someone who's living with MS, who attended ECTRIMS for the very first time. So, less than an hour after the conference concluded, I had a conversation with Kristine Werner Ozug. (Full disclosure, Kristine is a member of the RealTalk MS team.)

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

RealTalk MS Episode 383 Guests: Dr. Bruce Bebo and Kristine Werner Ozug

Privacy Policy

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

There's an alarming shortage of neurologists in the United States. That shortage makes it hard to be seen by a neurologist and, in some regions of the U.S., you may not even find an MS specialist without having to travel hundreds of miles. The good news is now there's an app for that!

Joining me to talk about how an app called BeCare is already changing the game when it comes to MS care is the Chief Medical Officer of BeCareLink, Dr. Charisse Litchman.

The FDA has designated Tolebrutinib as a Breakthrough Therapy for the treatment of adults with non-relapsing secondary progressive MS. We're sharing the details.

We'll tell you where you can participate in a phase 2 clinical trial that's designed to test the efficacy of Foralumab, an investigational disease-modifying therapy formulated as a nasal spray, among adults with non-relapsing secondary progressive MS.

We'll share the details of a report that provides some frustrating data about out-of-pocket costs for MS prescription medications.

Dr. Alicyn Magruder reviews the risks and benefits of using off-label medications to manage MS.

And we'll share the results of a study that focused on how socioeconomic status impacts disease severity among kids and teens living with MS.

If you're living with MS, you've probably already learned that hot weather, hot baths, or anything that causes your body temperature to increase can quickly cause your symptoms to worsen. But winter can also be a challenging time. Less daylight, frigid temperatures, ice, and snow can all have an impact on MS.

Dr. Lisa Doggett returns to the podcast with tips and strategies for enjoying winter while staying healthy, safe, and warm.

We'll also remind you that the International Progressive MS Alliance global webcast is happening tomorrow -- Dec. 11th! And we'll share the details you'll need to sign up.

We'll tell you about study results from Sweden that show that experiencing serious COVID-19 makes it twice as likely that someone will develop MS. (And we'll tell you why those study results aren't as scary as they may sound!)

We're sharing research that has uncovered evidence of nerve damage in the central nervous system up to 9 years before someone experiences MS symptoms.

We'll tell you about a team of biomedical engineers who are creating a tiny implantable device that will warn you if your MS is worsening or if you're heading for a relapse.

And if you're over 55, you're living with MS, and you have 15 minutes to spare, we'll tell you about an online survey that we hope you'll decide to participate in.

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

Disease-modifying therapies work, and, as a result, people with MS are living longer. With half the MS population over the age of 55, it's never been more urgent to understand how the process of aging impacts MS and how MS impacts the process of aging. In this special episode of RealTalk MS, Dr. Leorah Freeman discusses the many factors associated with aging with MS.

More effective treatments and even cures for MS can only happen as a result of clinical research. And clinical research can only happen when people living with MS choose to become research participants. But what are the pros and cons that you should consider when you're thinking about participating in MS research?

The National MS Society's Associate Vice President of Research, Dr. Kathy Zackowski, returns to the podcast to discuss the risks and benefits of participating in clinical research. We're also joined by Mimi Brown, who lives with primary progressive MS. Mimi will share her experiences as a participant in several MS research studies.

We'll also remember Professor Giancarlo Comi, a true giant in the MS research community who passed away last week.

We'll discuss the updated Brain Health -- Time Matters report.

We'll tell you about a research collaboration between the National MS Society, Breakthrough T1D (formerly the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation), and the Lupus Research Alliance.

And we're sharing the details about the International Progressive MS Alliance's upcoming global webcast.
