Being a teenager is hard. So, imagine for a moment that in addition to everything else that teenagers have to endure, you're a teenager who's been diagnosed with MS. Your ability to participate in after-school activities or just hang out with your friends is impacted by MS-related fatigue. The typical adolescent anxiety over something someone posted on social media evolves into depression. And cognitive issues begin to make it harder for you in the classroom. This is an unfortunate reality for many adolescents who are living with MS.
Joining me to discuss how MS affects adolescents and how families can help manage MS is Dr. Ann Yeh. Dr. Yeh is a Professor of Pediatric Neurology at the University of Toronto and the director of the MS and Neuroinflammatory Disorders Program and Fellowship Program at the University of Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children, known as SickKids.
We'll also tell you about a new online resource for MS care partners.
We'll share the results of a study that explored how different symptom management responsibilities impact MS care partners.
We'll share details of a study that demonstrated positive results in improving MS-related fatigue.
We'll tell you about the discovery of a plant-based molecule that is showing promise in promoting myelin repair.
And we're sharing surprising research results that have more than doubled the prevalence of MS in Australia.
We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!

Learning to live with MS is learning to live with loss. For some, those losses may be minor and seem relatively insignificant. For others, those losses can be huge and life-altering. The definition of grief is an emotional response to a significant loss. It's not unusual to grieve over those things in your life that have been lost due to MS. In fact, healthy grieving is a necessary emotional step to moving forward in life.
Dr. Holly Hendin, a faculty physician and psychiatrist at St. Joseph’s Hospital Medical Group Outpatient Behavioral Health in Phoenix, Arizona, joins me to explore grieving when you live with MS.
We'll also share the results of a study that show other health conditions can have a negative impact on MS disease activity, like relapses and disability worsening.
And we're sharing the details of the $4.6 million dollar investment the National MS Society is making in research focused on myelin repair.
We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!

Open enrollment is underway! And if you're one of the 25% of people living with MS who get their coverage through Medicare, there are some major changes coming in 2025. So, it's especially important that you review your prescription drug coverage to make sure you're enrolled in the Medicare Part D plan that's best for you.
Sarah Anderson, pharmacist and senior director of clinical resources and programming at the National MS Society, joins me to help us decipher those changes and navigate the sometimes confusing world of health insurance.
We'll also tell you about a research team that's editing human DNA to promote myelin repair.
We'll share the results of a study that offers some surprising evidence about the quality of MS care for women in France.
We'll explain why a study that shows people with MS are at a higher risk for being diagnosed with cancer may not be as scary as it sounds.
In my conversation with Dawn Schottlandt, you'll hear the story of In My Running Shoes and learn how people with MS and other disabilities can benefit from their work.
And we'll give you all the details about artist Elizabeth Jameson's exhibition, An Intimate Journey, which opens in New York on Saturday, October 19th.

In the seven years that I've been hosting RealTalk MS, no one has ever described a mobility device as life-changing. That is until listener Dee Ecklund reached out to tell me about her experience with the Alinker.
One of my goals in producing this podcast is to introduce the RealTalk MS listener community to people who are difference-makers. And Dee's initial DM led to my conversation with Dee and the inventor of the Alinker, a true difference-maker, BE Alink.
The National MS Society's 3rd annual Hispanic/Latinx MS Experience Summit is just two days away! We're sharing all the details, including how you can register for this free virtual event.
And I'm sharing my thoughts following attending the University of Pittsburgh's bi-annual caregiver research conference.

In 2020, the National MS Society convened the Pathways to Cures Think Tank. I shared news and interviews from what I considered a historic meeting back in Episode 125 of RealTalk MS.
The information shared and the work generated by that Think Tank led to the Pathways to Cures Global Summit in 2023. In Episodes 297and 298 of RealTalk MS, I shared news and interviews from what I described as yet another historic meeting.
The Pathways to Cures Research Roadmap has been updated, and I'm devoting this week's episode of RealTalk MS to my conversation with the National MS Society's Executive Vice-President of Research, Dr. Bruce Bebo, and the MS Society's Vice-President of Global Initiatives, Shawna Golden, to bring us up to date on how this global MS research initiative has been refined and enhanced and how it's resetting the global MS research agenda.

ECTRIMS 2024, the largest MS research conference in the world concluded last week, and in this week's episode, we'll be hearing two slightly different perspectives on which news, announcements, and presentations stood out at this year's meeting.
The ECTRIMS conference can feel almost overwhelming. You find yourself among 9 or 10 thousand other attendees, trying to determine which of the more than 1700 scientific presentations you want to learn more about. It's both a marathon and a sprint that seem to be taking place simultaneously.
Kristine Werner Ozug is a member of the RealTalk MS team and a person who lives with MS. This week, Kristine shares her perspective on attending ECTRIMS for the first time.
At the conclusion of ECTRIMS, you can almost hear a collective sigh coming from all the attendees. It feels like you've crossed the finish line, but now the work of sorting and processing all that you've seen, heard, and read over what feels like a non-stop 72-hour blur actually begins.
Joining me to share his initial thoughts on the ECTRIMS news that caught his eye is the National MS Society's Executive Vice-President of Research, Dr. Bruce Bebo.

During the meeting, I had an opportunity to talk with some of the best and brightest minds in MS research and clinical practice. This is your invitation to listen in on my ECTRIMS EXTRA conversation with Dr. Fred Lublin.
Dr. Fred Lublin is the Director of the Corrine Goldsmith Dickinson Center for Multiple Sclerosis at Mount Sinai. He participated in the development of the very first disease-modifying therapy that was approved for MS. When we talk about relapsing-remitting MS, secondary-progressive MS, or primary-progressive MS, we're using the clinical course descriptions of MS that were developed and subsequently updated by Dr. Lublin and his colleagues.
At ECTRIMS, Dr. Lublin gave a presentation on the need to update the way we think about and talk about multiple sclerosis by, once again, updating those clinical course descriptors.

Living with the unpredictability of MS sometimes feels like riding a rollercoaster. As you experience the twists and turns of life with MS, you can sometimes feel unmoored from the person you thought you were. You can sense your priorities, motivations, and values shifting. And, in those moments, it becomes easy to lose your sense of purpose.
Clinical assistant professor and rehabilitation psychologist at the University of Michigan, Dr. Evan Smith, joins me to discuss how to identify and reconnect with your core values and live a more purposeful and satisfying life.
We'll also tell you about Creating Order, an art exhibit featuring 12 artists living with MS. (Don't miss our conversation with the co-curators and lead artist in this unique exhibit!)
And we're sharing the details of MS Stand Up, a night of comedy and cocktails at the Gotham Comedy Club.
We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!

Living with MS is expensive. A recent study funded by the National MS Society found the average cost of living with MS in the United States is $88,487 a year. Even with insurance, that can turn out to be a heavy lift.
One thing you don't need is to be worrying about money while you're already worrying about MS. So, when I think about discussing budgeting and managing your personal finances when you're living with MS, I think we're really talking about preserving your quality of life.
Joining me with strategies for budgeting and managing debt when you're living with MS is the Senior Vice President of Membership and Media Relations at the National Foundation for Credit Counseling, Bruce McClary.
We'll also tell you about the updated Pathways to Cures Research Roadmap and the first ever global landscape analysis of MS research funding.
We're sharing very encouraging results from the Phase 2 open-label extension study of Fenebrutinib, an experimental BTK inhibitor.
We'll give you the details of a pilot study that demonstrated what may be a successful treatment for sexual dysfunction among men and women living with MS.
We'll tell you why middle-aged people with MS may want to consider resistance training.
And we'll tell you how to register for the National MS Society's Voting Without Barriers webinar.
We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!

Most of us know Medicare as health insurance for Americans who are 65 or older, but when they qualify for Social Security disability benefits, people younger than 65 automatically qualify for Medicare. Today, between 25 and 30% of the people living with MS are Medicare beneficiaries.
Whether you already have Medicare or you'll be signing up for Medicare in the future, getting the right coverage requires making some important choices.
Licensed Medicare Advisor Laquel Thomas joins me with tips, strategies, and explanations for successfully navigating Medicare and getting the coverage you need.
We’re explaining the good news in the results from a Phase 3 clinical trial for Tolebrutinib, Sanofi’s experimental oral BTK inhibitor. The trial showed that, compared to placebo, Tolebrutinib met the primary endpoint, delaying the onset of confirmed disability progression in people with non-relapsing secondary progressive MS.
Take My Hand is an Australian film based on the true story of Claire Jensz, a mother of three living in London who is diagnosed with MS at the peak of her high-powered career. Be sure to catch my conversation with Claire, Radha Mitchell, the film's star, and John Raftopoulos, the film's director.
We're sharing the details of a study that may have uncovered an underlying cause of MS and, perhaps, all autoimmune diseases.
We'll tell you about the results of a stem cell study that show MS may involve more than just immune cells.
And we'll give you what may be surprising details of a study that focused on how MS impacts the quality of life of fully ambulatory people living with mild MS symptoms.
We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
This Week: Making the right Medicare choices :22
There's good news about the results of the Phase 3 clinical trial for Tolebrutinib 1:41
My conversation with the director, star, and woman whose story about living with MS is the real-life basis for the new film, Take My Hand 4:28
Have researchers at Yale discovered an underlying cause of MS? 14:11
Newly published results of a stem cell study show that MS may also be driven by brain cells 17:19
Study results show how MS impacts the quality of life among fully ambulatory people with mild MS symptoms 19:15

If you're a regular listener, you know that I rely on the RealTalk MS listener community to let me know which topics you'd like to hear about on this podcast. A few years ago, in episode 264, listener Dawnia Baynes did a podcast takeover, and interviewed me. Since then, I've heard from a bunch of you who, for some reason, want to hear more about me. So, when listener Kyra Millich asked if she could interview me, it felt like it was time.
In today's episode, you'll find out what I like to do when I'm not doing this podcast, I'll share some of the most memorable moments in my life, you'll hear how and why I started RealTalk MS, and I hope you'll get to know me a little better.
You'll also hear about results from a study that show people with MS are far less likely to be diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease compared to people who don't have MS.
We'll tell you about a Phase 1 clinical trial for a CAR-T cell therapy for MS.
And you'll learn the details of a different Phase 1 clinical trial for a different CAR-T cell therapy for MS.
We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!

Getting an MS diagnosis is not always the quick, straightforward process we'd like it to be. For some people, the process can drag on for years. But getting that diagnosis only happens when you and your primary care physician recognize that something's going on.
It might be a sudden vision issue. Maybe it's unexplained tingling in an arm or leg. Or maybe it's something more acute that gets your attention. A wide variety of signs could point to MS, but they could also point to other health conditions.
Dr. Leorah Freeman, Director of the Multiple Sclerosis and Neuroimmunology Center at Dell Medical School at the University of Texas at Austin, joins me this week to help us better understand the signs and symptoms of multiple sclerosis.
Just as COVID-19 viral activity is increasing across the United States, we're sharing the results of a study that should put your mind at ease and motivate you to get that COVID-19 booster vaccination when it becomes available next month.
We'll tell you about a Phase 1 clinical trial that's getting underway for a novel cell therapy that may be effective in stopping MS.
You'll hear about a grant from the National Institutes of Health that will fund a study on the fear of falling among people with MS.
The 16th annual Burgers to Beat MS fundraising event is taking place on August 22nd at A&W locations across Canada. We'll give you the details on how you can participate -- whether you happen to be in Canada or not!

For some people, getting in their car and heading for, well, anywhere represents freedom and independence. For others, it's a way to get to their jobs, get to their medical appointments, get the kids to school, and run necessary errands. MS can change all of that.
Occupational Therapist and Certified Driver Rehabilitation Specialist Jenny Nordine joins me to discuss how to preserve your independence while protecting yourself and the people around you when you're driving with MS.
You'll also meet Dr. Susan Seizer, a true difference-maker and one of the founders of the Mobility Aids Lending Library.

Integrative medicine brings conventional and complementary treatments together in a coordinated way. This approach to health and wellness represents a growing trend across the United States, especially among people who live with a chronic disease like MS.
Dr. Lynne Shinto joins me to explain what integrative medicine is and how to safely incorporate complementary treatments into your MS care plan.
We'll also tell you about study results that show how the common cold, flu, or a urinary tract infection can all contribute to MS worsening.
We'll tell you about the research team that has successfully used an artificial intelligence algorithm to predict future MS disability progression.
We'll share the details behind the work of another research team that successfully used an artificial intelligence algorithm to reliably diagnose MS.
The European Union's AI Act went into effect last week. We're explaining all the ways this new law will impact healthcare.

Less than two weeks ago, the National MS Society announced the appointment of Dr. Tim Coetzee as its new President and CEO. The MS Society's board chair, Peter Porrino, commented, "Tim is a trusted voice of the global MS community, a highly respected scientist, and we are excited for him to bring his transformative leadership to drive us into our next era to achieve a world free of MS."
I thought it was important for everyone in the RealTalk MS listener community to hear from Tim and learn firsthand what his vision and priorities are for the MS Society. So, I'm dedicating this entire episode to my conversation with the new President and CEO of the National MS Society, Dr. Tim Coetzee.

It's hard to imagine any area of our lives that hasn't been transformed by digital technology. That's certainly true for healthcare in general and MS diagnosis and treatment in particular.
Dr. Riley Bove joins me to discuss the role that digital technology already plays in the diagnosis and treatment of MS and to share a preview of what's coming next.
The National MS Society has named its new President and CEO. We're sharing the details!
We'll tell you about some of the benefits that are being observed in the Phase 2 clinical trial and extension study of Frexalimab, an experimental antibody that may be on the path to becoming a highly effective disease-modifying therapy.
We'll share the details behind the FTC's planned lawsuit against the three largest Pharmacy Benefit Managers (and we'll tell you why that matters to anyone taking a prescription medication).
Stressing out about an upcoming MRI exam? We're sharing info about Happy MRI, a website that's been designed to relieve MRI-related anxiety.
And we're reminding you that Crush MS, the Napa Valley wine-tasting fundraising event, is happening this Saturday, July 27th. We'll let you know where to get your ticket!
