    Episode 382: Revisiting Women's Health Issues and MS with Dr. Anna Shah and Dr. Rhonda Voskuhl

    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 This Week: Revisiting our deep dive into women's health and MS   :44 Dr. Rhonda Voskuhl discusses her research looking at why MS affects men and women differently  2:34 Dr. Anna Shah discusses how MS can affect women's health issues and how those health issues can affect MS  13:30 Share this episode  32:18 Have you downloaded the free RealTalk MS app?  32:38 SHARE THIS EPISODE OF REALTALK MS Just copy this link & paste it into your text or email: https://realtalkms.com/382 ADD YOUR VOICE TO THE CONVERSATION I've always thought about the RealTalk MS podcast as a conversation.

    Measuring Your MS Disease Status? There's an Evidence-Based App for That! with Dr. Charisse Lichtman

    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. We have a lot to talk about!

    Thriving in Cold Weather with MS with Dr. Lisa Doggett

    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!

    Special Episode: Aging with MS with Dr. Leorah Freeman

    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. This special episode of RealTalk MS is sponsored by Viatris.

    The Pros and Cons of Participating in MS Research with Dr. Kathy Zackowski and Mimi Brown

    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.

    The Art of Hope with Lydia Emily

    There are some people who, once you meet them, it's impossible to forget them. They seem to leave an indelible impression. Lydia Emily is one of those people. Whether it's through her art that occasionally escapes the canvas to be expressed as massive urban murals proclaiming End MS, or through her outspoken MS advocacy. Lydia Emily is a force. Now, along with co-author Lenlee Keep, Lydia Emily has channeled that energy into a book entitled, The Art of Hope: The Life and Art of Lydia Emily. Lydia Emily and her co-author, Lenlee Keep, join me this week to talk about the process of writing the book and some of the issues affecting people with MS that Lydia Emily is passionate about. We'll also tell you about study results that provide an answer to how nerve cells die in MS. We'll share results from a study that shows MS progression may not be directly connected to the number of lesions someone may have. And we'll tell you about research that provides evidence for continuing your MS disease-modifying therapy, no matter your age. We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
