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

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.

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.

On this podcast, we tend to talk a lot about new technologies, emerging treatments, the most recently approved disease-modifying therapies, and even some DMTs that haven't yet been approved. And in the midst of all that cutting-edge research and evolving science, it's easy to lose sight of the fact that expressive therapies like dance and movement therapy, music therapy, and art therapy have all been shown to help promote self-efficacy, emotional well-being, and motor control in people living with MS.
Dr. Francois Bethoux joins me on today's episode to discuss the benefits of integrating dance and movement therapy, music therapy, and art therapy into your treatment plan to help manage your MS symptoms and enhance your well-being.
November is National Family Caregivers Month, and we're sharing a neat piece of tech that can not only make life easier for MS caregivers but can make life better for their care recipients, as well. CEO Costin Tuculescu introduces us to his company's new device, OnScreen.

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.

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??!

Now that he's had a chance to digest all of the research presented at ECTRIMS, Dr. Bruce Bebo, the National MS Society's Executive Vice President of Research, is back to share the key research presented at the largest MS research conference in the world.
This episode of RealTalk MS is the perfect follow-up to my initial conversation with Bruce, which occurred just minutes after ECTRIMS ended. (If you missed our conversation, you may want to check out Episode 369 of 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.
