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 taking place 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, MS fundraisers, and other heroes who strive to raise the bar for those who battle MS every day.

If you’re affected by multiple sclerosis — as a patient, caregiver, family member, or friend — join us for RealTalk MS.

Episode 190: MS Rehab in the Real World with Sally McAllister and Dr. Carol-Ann Nelson


Their website says that Destination Rehab takes an “innovative, out-of-the-box approach to physical therapy.” This week, my guests are Sally McAllister and the founder of Destination Rehab, Dr. Carol-Ann Nelson. Sally is 70 years old and living with primary progressive MS. We're talking about how Sally's work with Dr. Nelson produced life-changing results.

We're also talking about the first study that specifically measures the safety of the Pfizer-BioNtech COVID vaccine for people living with MS.

We'll share the results of another study that suggests that some MS disease-modifying therapies affect Black people differently.

We'll tell you about this year's recipient of the Dystel Prize for MS research.

And we'll give you the details about the MS Society of Canada's upcoming MS CONNECT virtual conference.

We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
