Episode 353: From the Consortium of MS Centers Annual Meeting with Dr. Kathy Zackowski and Dr. Stephen Krieger

Last week, thousands of clinicians, nurses, physician's assistants, rehabilitation experts, and others traveled to Nashville to attend the Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers 38th Annual Meeting. Welcome to Part 1 of our coverage from that meeting.

Jon Strum and Dr. Stephen Krieger

In this episode, I'm talking with Dr. Kathy Zackowski, Associate Vice-President for Research at the National MS Society, and Dr. Zackowski is sharing some of the presentations that caught her attention.

Next, you'll hear my conversation with Dr. Stephen Krieger, a neurologist at the Corinne Goldsmith Dickinson Center for Multiple Sclerosis. Dr. Krieger explains the hidden side of MS, why, when it comes to treating MS, “detecting only what we measure” isn't enough, and why an EDSS of 0 is not normal.

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

May 30th is World MS Day, and we're taking this opportunity to look at some of the challenges faced by people with MS around the world.
