RealTalk MS

Research has shown that, for people living with MS, regular exercise and physical activity can improve their quality of life while helping to manage MS symptoms. But research has also shown that people living with MS tend to be less active than people in the general population. In response, the National MS Society convened a group of experts to develop fact-based guidance for promoting exercise and lifestyle physical activity for all people with MS, regardless of their ability level. Joining me to talk about these exercise recommendations along with some of the real benefits that exercise produces for people living with MS is Dr. Nora Fritz, a board-certified Neurologic Physical Therapist and an Assistant Professor in the Physical Therapy Program in the Department of Health Care Sciences and Department of Neurology at Wayne State University School of Medicine, where she's also the Director of the Neuroimaging and Neurorehabilitation Laboratory.

Judy Boon was diagnosed with MS in 2007. Judy is a true MS Warrior who has fully integrated fitness activities and exercise into her everyday lifestyle. Judy is also joining me to talk about how exercise has impacted her MS journey.

We're also talking about a University of Washington study that measured the willingness to receive a COVID-19 vaccine among people living with MS. We'll tell you about a study from Italy that measured the long-term benefits of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT). And we're talking about an important survey that measured the perspectives and preferences regarding MS research among racial and ethnic groups. We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!

Paleo...Wahls...Swank...Mediterranean...intermittent fasting. Is there such a thing as "The MS Diet"? Joining me to offer an expert opinion about diet and MS is Dr. Ilana Katz Sand, the Associate Director of the Corinne Goldsmith Dickinson Center for MS and Co-Director of the Center's Wellness Program. Dr. Katz Sand's recent and current research studies include a clinical trial of dietary interventions for MS and exploring the role of the gut microbiome in MS. Dr. Katz Sand is also a member of the National MS Society's Wellness Research Work Group where, over the past year, she's led the work of the Nutrition Wellness Subgroup.

We're also looking at how a recent announcement about a new MS vaccine caught fire on social media. And we'll tell you what that news was really all about!

We'll tell you about a study in Sweden that showed a cancer treatment may protect the blood-brain barrier and reduce neuroinflammation in MS. And we're talking about a Columbia University study that shows why, if you're living with MS, "ya gotta have friends"! We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!

It's safe to say that this year, the biggest gift of the holiday season has been the arrival of not one, but two COVID-19 vaccines. Still, while the COVID-19 vaccines have created a tremendous amount of hope, they've also created an equal number of questions among people who are living with MS. So the National MS Society has convened a group of experts to provide guidance for people living with MS when it comes to making decisions about the safety, efficacy, and the timing of COVID-19 vaccines as they relate to certain MS disease-modifying therapies. As the Chair of the MS Society's National Medical Advisory Committee, my guest, Dr. Nancy Sicotte, is leading the effort to create this very important guidance. Dr. Sicotte is a Professor and Chair of the Department of Neurology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, where she's also the Director of the Multiple Sclerosis and Neuroimmunology Program. We'll also talking about the FDA's approval to shorten the time required for an Ocrevus infusion. We'll tell you about new study results that show Mayzent may improve cognitive processing speed among people with progressive MS. And if you're living with progressive MS, we'll tell you about an important clinical trial that you may be eligible to participate in. We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!

Feeling some of the stress and anxiety that often come with the holiday season? Who could blame you? If the holidays aren't enough, this year, we're also going through what's looking like the worst part of the COVID-19 pandemic. Stress and anxiety aren't guaranteed, but they aren't exactly unexpected, either. My guest this week, Megan Weigel, is here to share some techniques and strategies that we can use to de-stress during the holidays. Megan is a nurse practitioner specializing in neurological care. As a Multiple Sclerosis Certified Nurse and a board-certified Advanced Practice Holistic Nurse, Megan brings a unique integrative medicine and holistic nursing perspective to her practice. We'll also share more encouraging news about autologous hematopoietic stem cell clinical trials. We'll tell you about the newly released National MS Society guidance on telemedicine. (And if you've downloaded the free RealTalk MS app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, you'll find your copy of that guidance under the "Bonus Content" tab!) We're also talking about the very positive pilot study of a new computer-based cognitive rehab program. And we'll tell you about the launch of a first of its kind study that will help scientists understand how MS affects memory. If you're using CBD edibles to help manage some of your MS symptoms, you'll want to hear what happened when 40 brands of edibles were analyzed by an independent laboratory. We'll tell you how you can participate in a clinical trial that's going to evaluate treatments for MS fatigue (You can participate from home...and you can even get paid!) And if there are times when you just want to talk with someone who really gets it when it comes to living with MS, we'll tell you about MS Friends. We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!

Every day, 12 more Canadians are diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Facing one of the highest MS rates in the world, spread across a geographically large country, the MS Society of Canada is the only national voluntary organization in Canada that supports cutting-edge MS research while providing services and support to more than 90,000 people living with MS. Joining me as my guest is Dr. Pamela Valentine, who is not only the president & CEO of the MS Society of Canada but also a multi-award winning neuroscientist. During our conversation, we'll be talking about COVID-19, progressive MS, and some of the most pressing issues facing the MS community today. We'll also share some encouraging stem cell clinical trial results. (And we're including a quick review of what these different types of stem cells are all about!) We'll tell you about a new immune cell discovery that helps explain the importance of the connection between the gut and the central nervous system. We're also talking about a new study from the Mayo Clinic that shows how a woman's pregnancies and the onset of menopause may influence the onset of progressive MS. And we'll tell you where to watch a 2020 MS Research Update from MS Research Australia. This video was produced especially for people affected by MS, and it's definitely worth watching!

MS-related pain is one of those invisible symptoms that can have a profound impact on your quality of life. So we're devoting this entire episode of RealTalk MS to taking a deep dive into assessing and managing MS-related pain with my guests, Dr. Dawn M. Ehde and Dr. Heidi Maloni. Both of my guests are experts at assessing, treating, and managing MS-related pain, but each approaches pain from a slightly different perspective. Dr. Ehde is a clinical psychologist and professor of rehabilitation medicine at the University of Washington, where she has an endowed professorship in Multiple Sclerosis Research. Dr. Ehde and her group at UW have published the results of several studies on MS-related pain in peer-reviewed medical journals. Dr. Heidi Maloni is a nurse practitioner and the National Clinical Nursing Director for the Multiple Sclerosis Center of Excellence East at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center. Dr. Maloni heads up research programs to further the understanding of MS and its impact on Veterans while also aiding in the development of treatments to manage the disease and its symptoms. We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
