We're all living longer and that includes people living with MS. And as they age, people with MS are asking new questions.
Is there a need to stay on disease-modifying therapy after the age of 60?
How do we know whether a new symptom is a symptom of MS or a symptom of aging?
Does an additional age-related health condition make treating MS more difficult?
Does treating MS make treating that new health condition more difficult?
How can we best offset the social isolation that's often associated with MS and with aging?
This week, Dr. Aaron Boster joins me on a deep dive into aging with MS. Dr. Boster brings 19 years of experience as an MS clinician. He's participated in over 65 clinical trials. And, following its FDA approval, Dr. Boster administered the very first dose of Ocrevus in the world. Dr. Boster is well known throughout the MS community for the countless number of short videos and live Q&A sessions he regularly hosts and posts on YouTube.
We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
