Past Podcast Episodes

This week, we're talking about palliative care for MS. It's a topic that a lot of people living with MS still don't know enough about, but palliative care can offer real benefits in attaining the best overall quality of life.

Joining me in discussing palliative care is my guest, Cherie Binns. Cherie was diagnosed with relapsing-remitting MS in 1994. She's been a Registered Nurse for 45 years, and Cherie is also an Internationally Certified MS Nurse. Cherie serves as the co-chair of the iConquerMS Research committee, and she regularly presents programs on living well with MS.

We'll also remind you that beginning tomorrow, you can listen to daily episodes of RealTalk MS directly from ECTRIMS 2019 in Stockholm, Sweden. I'll do my best to keep you updated on the announcements being made, the presentations being given, and the news coming out of the largest MS research conference in the world. We'll even tell you how you can catch a couple of sessions that will be webcast live from ECTRIMS 2019.

Five years ago, James Beard Award-winning chef Chris Shepherd decided to hold a barbecue event in his restaurant's parking lot, to raise money for the National MS Society. Today, the Southern Smoke Festival has grown into the largest 3rd party MS Society fundraising event in the United States, and with the 5th Annual Southern Smoke Festival just a few weeks away, we're talking with Chris about how this event got its start, and how it's grown to be one of the most noteworthy culinary events in the country.

We're also talking about the new vaccination guidelines (including flu shots!) that were just published by the American Academy of Neurology for people living with MS. We'll tell you about a study that gives you one more reason to start disease-modifying therapy early…and stay on it! We'll also tell you about a study that shows the cost of MS disease-modifying therapy has increased 7X over just 10 years for Medicare patients. And we've found one more study that demonstrates how people with more advanced progressive MS can still benefit from physical rehabilitation.

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