RealTalk MS

The CDC tells us that 36 million falls are reported each year, resulting in 3 million adults being transported to the emergency room and 32,000 adults dying from their falls.

Studies have shown that, in any six-month period, more than 50% of the people living with MS fall at least once, and more than 30% fall multiple times. Falling can cause broken bones, brain damage, and worse. That's why I'm dedicating this entire episode of RealTalk MS to fall prevention.

Dr. Sara Migliarese joins me with tips, tools, and strategies you can use to prevent falls while keeping yourself safe and more independent. Dr. Migliarese is a Board Certified Neurologic Clinical Specialist, and a Professor in the Department of Physical Therapy at Winston-Salem State University where she is also the Director of the Neurologic Clinical Residency Program.

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

Today, we're talking about a topic that you've told me is the topic that you'd most like me to cover on this podcast -- autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, or HSCT. And I'm dedicating this entire episode of RealTalk MS to a deep dive on the subject with the man who pioneered autologous HSCT as a treatment for relapsing-remitting MS, Dr. Richard Burt.

Last week, in Episode 279 of RealTalk MS we talked with Professor Tanja Kuhlmann about a new framework for researching, diagnosing, and treating MS that was proposed by the International Advisory Committee on Clinical Trials in Multiple Sclerosis. This proposed framework represents the next evolutionary step in diagnosing and treating MS.

Joining me this week to talk about how this proposed framework will impact people living with MS is the National MS Society's Chief Advocacy, Services, and Science Officer, Dr. Tim Coetzee.

For many people, the new year inspires familiar resolutions to start a diet. If you're searching for the "MS Diet", we're sharing an update on what the experts have learned about diet and MS, and what they recommend.

The National MS Society's Pathways to Wellness virtual program takes place February 9th. We'll give you the details and tell you how to register for this free event.

And you'll hear about Frequency Therapeutics' remyelination project for people living with MS. Clinical trials are planned to begin this year!

The new framework being recommended by the committee is broadly outlined in a paper that was published about 8 weeks ago. Joining me to discuss what this proposed framework is all about is the paper's lead author, Professor Tanja Kuhlmann.

We're also talking about the new high-efficacy disease-modifying therapy that received its FDA approval last week.

We're sharing the details behind the FDA's approval of a Phase 3 clinical trial for Masitinib, an investigational therapy for treating progressive MS.

We'll tell you about Abata Therapeutics' first T-cell treatment candidate for treating progressive MS.

And you'll hear about the results of a study that compared the outcome of treating people living with secondary progressive MS with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT) versus treatment by disease-modifying therapies.

When people ask me how I go about deciding who to interview for this podcast, my answer has always been the same. I look for difference-makers. People whose efforts are making a real difference in the MS community. They might be a researcher, clinician, rehabilitation specialist, MS Navigator, fundraiser...it's a long list. A difference-maker might also be someone who motivates and inspires all of us by the way they choose to embrace life.

My favorite conversation this year was with just that kind of person. And, judging from the many thousands of you who listened to that conversation and the feedback so many of you shared with me, it was one of your favorite convesations, too.

In 2007, Tyler Campbell was a running back at San Diego State, looking forward to a real shot at a career in the NFL. Instead, Tyler's life was turned upside down by an MS diagnosis.

For some people, that would have been the end of the story. For Tyler, it was only the beginning.

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

For me, the holiday season is a time for joy, celebration, and reflection. And when I reflect upon the advances in MS research that we've seen in the past year, it's hard not to feel encouraged. 2022 will be remembered as the year when the National MS Society published the Pathways to Cures research roadmap, a bold initiative focused on stopping MS progression, restoring lost function, and ending MS forever.

I talked about this pivotal moment in the history of MS research with Dr. Carol Whitacre and Professor Alan Thompson, and they each shared their insights into what the Pathways to Cures research roadmap was all about and what this historic initiative means for people affected by MS. My conversations with Dr. Whitacre and Professor Thompson were two of the most important conversations that I had in 2022 and, as the year draws to a close, I think they're worth revisiting.

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

This special episode of RealTalk MS is sponsored by EMD Serono and MS in the 21st Century.

In this special episode of RealTalk MS, I'm joined by Professor Peter Rieckmann, Stanca Potra, and Maria Paz Giambastiani. We're taking a look back at the advances that have been made in treating MS and focusing our eyes ahead to determine the work that still needs to be done.

Professor Rieckmann is the Chief Physician of Neurology and Clinical Neuroplasticity at the Medical Park Loipl, Germany. Professor Rieckmann has also served as the Chair of the MS in the 21st Century initiative since its inception in 2011.

Maria Paz Giambastiani has been living with MS for the past 17 years. She's a columnist, writing about disability and inclusion for More Than Words magazine. Maria has also authored several books and publications focused on MS.

Stanca Potra is the founder of the Smile Center, a support and counseling center for people living with MS in Romania. Stanca has been living with MS for the past 9 years.

Professor Rieckmann, Stanca, and Maria are active members of the MS in the 21st Century initiative. To learn more about MS in the 21st Century, please visit www.msinthe21stcentury.com.

Some of you might remember that at the end of October, I was in Amsterdam, attending the 2022 ECTRIMS Congress. ECTRIMS is an acronym for the European Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis, and their annual scientific congress is the largest MS research conference in the world. As the conference ended, I sat on some steps outside the conference center alongside the National MS Society's Executive Vice-President of Research, Dr. Bruce Bebo. And Dr. Bebo shared his initial impressions of some of the research that had been presented over the 3-day conference. If you missed that episode of the podcast, you may want to listen to episode number 270 of RealTalk MS

After having had a few weeks to consider all of the research that was presented at the ECTRIMS Congress, Dr. Bebo is back to share his final ECTRIMS research update, and talk about the rest of the research that caught his attention at the 2022 ECTRIMS Congress.

You'll also meet the Co-Chair of the MS Society Southern California chapter's Emerging Leaders Board and this year's recipient of the Dorothy Corwin Spirit of Life Award, Kristen Karasek. Kristen was diagnosed with MS at the age of 24, but, as will become clear to you, she hasn't let MS get in her way. I think you'll find Kristen's positivity to be infectious.

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

The first step in living well with MS is establishing a treatment plan with your neurologist or MS specialist. And a disease-modifying therapy, or DMT, should be the foundation of that plan. Joining me to talk about what disease-modifying therapies can and can't do, and how to work with your doctor to find the best MS medication for you is the Clinical Pharmacy Specialist in Multiple Sclerosis and Neuroimmunology at VCU Health in Richmond Virginia, Ross Tingen.

Why are we talking about global warming on a podcast about MS? Because we're talking about the results of a study that show how climate change has a negative impact on people living with multiple sclerosis and other neurological conditions.

We're also sharing the results of a study that demonstrate the sobering reality of the association between socioeconomic status and death among people living with MS.

If you're on Tecfidera, you'll want to hear about a study that focused on how alcohol may change the efficacy of your DMT.

And we'll tell you about a study that revealed significant differences in how the prodromal phase of MS affects men and women at different ages. (And we'll also tell you why understanding the MS prodrome is important!)
