Episode 128: Pregnancy & MS with Dr. Riley Bove

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.

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.

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

Episode 127: MS Activism with California Assemblymember Jim Wood

This past year, a bill was introduced in the California State Assembly that would create more transparency among pharmaceutical companies and make more lower-cost generic drugs available to Californians by making it easier for the California Attorney General to prosecute pharmaceutical companies for so-called “pay for delay” deals.

MS Activists in California talked to our state legislators, asking them to support this bill, known as AB 824, and on January 1st, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed AB 824 into law. My guest is the author of AB 824, California Assemblymember Jim Wood. We're talking with Assemblymember Wood about what it was like to guide a bill that the pharmaceutical industry came out against through the state legislature and see it signed into law.

We'll share results of a new study that shows that undiagnosed and under-diagnosed depression is a serious problem that negatively impacts the quality of life among many older adults living with MS.

We'll tell you about a U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that leaves the fate of the Affordable Care Act in the hands of the U.S. Supreme Court — and what that means for people living with MS.

And we'll tell you about Dr. Francisco Quintana, this year's recipient of the Barancik Prize for exceptional innovation and originality in MS research.

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