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!

Episode 159: Resilience and MS with Dr. Dawn Ehde


You can't control the weather, but you can learn to dance in the rain. And developing resilience teaches you how to dance in the rain. My guest is Dr. Dawn Ehde, a clinical psychologist and professor of rehabilitation medicine at University of Washington Medicine. Dr. Ehde is an expert in understanding resilience, and she's joining us to explain why having resilience is central to improving the well-being of people affected by MS, and how to go about building your resilience — even in the midst of a global pandemic.

Dr. Dawn Ehde

We're also talking about Bafiertam, a lower-cost, FDA-approved bioequivalent to Tecfidera.

We'll share the results of a study of more than 5,000 people who were newly diagnosed with MS — and not prescribed a disease-modifying therapy for two years following their diagnosis. We'll also explain why that's just wrong!

We'll talk to Suzi Claflin, the academic lead for Understanding Multiple Sclerosis, a free comprehensive 6-week online course that's open for registration right now.

And we'll remind you about where you can register for next week's Black MS Experience Summit.

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

We're celebrating 3 amazing years!  :22

The joint ACTRIMS-ECTRIMS meeting took place last weekend and that means a bonus episode of RealTalk MS is coming  2:38

Bafiertam is now available in the United States    4:44

Study shows that 2/3 of people newly diagnosed with MS in the U.S. are not prescribed any disease-modifying therapy for 2 years following their diagnosis  5:43
