Past Podcast Episodes

Welcome to this MS Awareness Week bonus episode of RealTalk MS. In this special episode, I'm talking with Damian Washington. Damian is an actor and a prolific vlogger. He was diagnosed with MS in 2016, and when you watch one of Damian's videos, it's impossible not to be hooked by his infectious personality.

I'm also talking with Dan and Jennifer Digmann. Jennifer was diagnosed with progressive MS in 1997, and Jennifer's husband Dan was diagnosed with relapsing-remitting MS in 2000. Dan & Jennifer met at a National MS Society event in 2002, and they were married in 2005. Together, they're taking on MS as a couple.

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

It's hard to talk to anyone about anything without talking about the coronavirus. And because the CDC has announced that people with weakened immune systems may be particularly vulnerable to this virus, people affected by MS can feel as though they have even more reason to worry.

My guest is clinical psychologist Dr. Abbey Hughes and we're talking about how people affected by MS should be thinking about the coronavirus, and what they should and shouldn't be doing about it.

Dr. Abbey Hughes

You'll also hear about a newly approved MS disease-modifying therapy and another MS disease-modifying therapy that's just been submitted for approval.

We'll tell you how the Affordable Care Act wound its way to the Supreme Court, and we'll look at what's at stake for people affected by MS or any other chronic illness.

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