I'm back from attending the MS International Federation's People With MS Forum in Athens, Greece, and it was a remarkable few days spent with some truly remarkable people. In this episode of RealTalk MS, you'll meet two of those remarkable people. First, we'll talk with Dr. Laura Musambayi, the founder of the MS Association of Kenya. Dr. Musambayi will share her experiences in a country of 50 million people, with just 20 neurologists, and no access to disease-modifying therapy.

Then, you'll meet Gabriela Hidalgo, a Project Manager at Esclerosis Multiple España, who will tell us about a very successful program designed to reduce isolation and depression and re-connect people affected by MS with their lives.

We're also talking about an article that got my attention last week. Professor Alan Thompson wrote that We Can Stop MS — And This Is How. (HINT: He's 100% right!)

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