Episode 129: MS Advocacy in 2020 with Bari Talente


In just two weeks, the National MS Society is hosting its annual Public Policy Conference in Washington, D.C. The centerpiece of that conference is our Day On The Hill when 300 MS Activists meet with our Congressional Representatives and Senators to discuss the legislative issues that are most important to people affected by MS.

My guest is Bari Talente, the Executive Vice President of Advocacy for the National MS Society and we're talking all about this year's Public Policy Conference and the value and importance of advocacy.

Bari Talente

We'll also let you know how and where to sign up for Discovering Life-Changing Treatments for Progressive MS, the global webcast from the International Progressive MS Alliance. (You have to hurry! It's happening in 2 days!)

You'll hear about an encouraging study of the effectiveness of stem cell therapy for some people living with secondary progressive MS.  We're also talking about why you might want to support Jon in this year's Walk MS. And you'll learn about a non-invasive breakthrough technology that provides a detailed assessment of the status of MS progression and the effectiveness of disease-modifying therapy…in 10 seconds.

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

My guest is Dr. Riley Bove, and we're talking about some of the things you might want to consider when you're thinking about getting pregnant, some important things to consider when you are pregnant, some things to discuss when you and your doctor are planning your delivery, and things to be aware of following your pregnancy.

Dr. Riley Bove

We're also talking about the results of two different studies that underscore the important relationship between the gut and MS.

We'll give you a few different opportunities to participate in MS research, and we'll remind you about why your participation is important.

And we'll share the sobering results of a large study that serves to remind everyone why diagnosing and treating depression among people living with MS should be a priority.
