In this week's episode, we're talking about a set of MS symptoms that can range in intensity from mildly annoying to completely debilitating. These symptoms include numbness, tingling, pain, that “electric shock” feeling you might experience traveling down the back of your neck, and the infamous MS hug.
Joining me to walk us through how to best manage these sensory symptoms is Dr. Jeffrey Hernandez. Dr. Hernandez is a doctorally prepared nurse practitioner who specializes in multiple sclerosis.
We're also extending an invitation for you to spend a quick couple of minutes taking the RealTalk MS listener survey…and we're adding some motivation to that invitation by giving you an opportunity to win a $100 Amazon gift card.
And we're inviting you to get up close and personal with some of the most brilliant MS researchers in the world in Parts 1 and 2 of our two-part special podcast series, Barancik Prize Conversations.
We'll share an amazing essay about living with progressive MS that was written by author and artist, Elizabeth Jameson, and published in the San Francisco Chronicle.
You'll hear my recent conversation with one of the leading experts in the world on autologous hematopoietic stem cell therapy (aHSCT), Dr. Jeffrey Cohen.
And we'll tell you about how you can participate in the Targeted Exercise for African-Americans with Multiple Sclerosis (TEAAMS) study.
We have a lot to talk aboJut! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
