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

Bonus: The MSVirtual2020 Conference


This past weekend, 8,000 MS research scientists and clinicians gathered virtually for the joint meeting of the Americas Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis and the European Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis. Known as ACTRIMS-ECTRIMS, this year's conference was appropriately re-branded as MSVirtual2020.

MSVirtual2020
We're talking about great presentations on the MS prodrome (and we'll explain what that is and why it's important), when it might be time to discontinue MS disease-modifying therapies, some encouraging progressive MS clinical trial results, the new number for global MS prevalence, and more!

We have a lot to talk about. Welcome to MSVirtual2020!
