This episode is sponsored by Celgene and the MS MindShift Initiative, which aims to educate about the important role the brain plays in MS.

Caroline Craven

My guest is Caroline Craven, who is a paid spokesperson for the MS MindShift. Caroline could not walk or see without assistance when she was first diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2001. Today she is thriving and shares her personal experiences, life hacks, and the holistic lifestyle choices that she has made to help manage her MS symptoms, via her blog.

We'll be discussing how Caroline pursues positivity and her personal passions while living with MS, in order to keep her brain active and engaged. We'll also be discussing the lifestyle choices she has made to help maintain her brain health.

Last week, the National MS Society and RealTalk MS announced a new partnership. And we're definitely talking about it!

My guest is Dr. Soha Saleh, a research scientist at Kessler Foundation's Center for Mobility and Rehabilitation Engineering Research, and we're talking about her innovative research in understanding how MS impacts dual-tasking — something that all of us do, all day long.

We'll tell you about the newly announced Weill Neurohub, and why that's such promising news for people affected by MS.

We're also talking about the price of Vumerity, the new oral disease-modifying therapy, and suggesting some of the things to keep in mind as we consider steps to ensure that everyone living with MS has access to affordable prescription medications.

And we'll tell you about the alternative to EDSS that's been proposed by the Multiple Sclerosis Outcome Assessments Consortium.

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