RealTalk MS Is On Right Now!

Join host Jon Strum each week as he breaks down the latest multiple sclerosis news. We’re talking about the amazing MS research that’s currently being done in laboratories around the world — and we’re talking to some of the brilliant neuroscientists who are conducting that research!

We’re monitoring the debate among our lawmakers surrounding prescription drug price transparency, healthcare legislation, funding for new and experimental MS research — anything that might impact your MS treatments.

And we’re talking with MS activists, MS caregivers, and other heroes who strive to raise the bar for those who battle MS every day.

If you’re dealing with multiple sclerosis in your life — as a patient, caregiver, family member, or friend — join us for RealTalk MS.

RealTalk MS Episode 28: Pediatric MS With Dr. Emmanuelle Waubant

When we think about MS, we tend to think about it as an adult disease. But the National MS Society reminds us that between 8,000 and 10,000 children up to 18 years old are living with MS in the United States. And studies suggest that between 2 and 5% of everyone living with MS has a history of experiencing the onset of at least one MS symptom before the age of 18.

My guest on the podcast is Dr. Emmanuelle Waubant, one of the true pioneers and recognized experts in the field of pediatric MS. We’re talking  with Dr. Waubant about some of the challenges involved in diagnosing pediatric MS, which disease-modifying therapies can be used to treat pediatric MS (since the FDA hasn’t specifically approved any drug to treat pediatric MS) and how kids living with MS deal with all of the regular growing up challenges that life throws at them.
