For some people, getting in their car and heading for, well, anywhere represents freedom and independence. For others, it's a way to get to their jobs, get to their medical appointments, get the kids to school, and run necessary errands. MS can change all of that.

Occupational Therapist and Certified Driver Rehabilitation Specialist Jenny Nordine joins me to discuss how to preserve your independence while protecting yourself and the people around you when you're driving with MS.

You'll also meet Dr. Susan Seizer, a true difference-maker and one of the founders of the Mobility Aids Lending Library.

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

RealTalk MS Episode 363
Guest: Dr. Susan Seizer, Jenny Nordine OT/L, CDRS

 

Integrative medicine brings conventional and complementary treatments together in a coordinated way. This approach to health and wellness represents a growing trend across the United States, especially among people who live with a chronic disease like MS.

Dr. Lynne Shinto joins me to explain what integrative medicine is and how to safely incorporate complementary treatments into your MS care plan.

We'll also tell you about study results that show how the common cold, flu, or a urinary tract infection can all contribute to MS worsening. 

We'll tell you about the research team that has successfully used an artificial intelligence algorithm to predict future MS disability progression.

We'll share the details behind the work of another research team that successfully used an artificial intelligence algorithm to reliably diagnose MS.

The European Union's AI Act went into effect last week. We're explaining all the ways this new law will impact healthcare.

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