Episode 65: Answering Listener Questions with Certified MS Nurse Cherie Binns

I've received some great questions from some of my listeners. And this week, Cherie Binns, an Internationally Certified MS Nurse and the co-chair of the iConquerMS Research committee, is joining me to answer listener questions. She's even going to share some of her tips for living well with MS!

We'll also explain why the Americans with Disabilities Act applies to sports arenas, but not to your doctor's office. We'll tell you about an outdoor adventure organization for young adults with cancer that's just expanded it's no-cost programs to include young adults living with MS. The National MS Society has awarded pilot funding to 20 high-risk novel research projects. We'll tell you about what some of these projects are hoping to achieve. And this week, we'll tell you about the people and organizations that we're especially thankful for.

Episode 64: Patient-Driven MS Drug Development with Laura Kolaczkowski

Patient-centered research is based on an understanding that patients themselves have unique perspectives that can help to mold, change, and improve the work of finding answers to clinical questions. My guest on the podcast is Laura Kolaczkowski, the co-Principal Investigator for iConquerMS. We're talking about the impact this people-powered research network is having on MS research, and how the first ever patient-driven MS drug development project came about.

We'll also help you wade through the information and misinformation that surrounds whether people with MS should get a flu shot this season. We'll tell you about a study that demonstrates how ballet exercise can help improve balance and motor control for people living with MS, why a new and more powerful MRI scanner is good news for the MS community, a new smartphone-based study that you can be a part of, and a newly-released video manifesto that you have to see!
