RealTalk MS Episode 26: Stephanie Buxhoeveden Is An MS Nurse Who Also Happens To Have MS

My podcast guest Stephanie Buxhoeveden was diagnosed with MS when she was 25 years old, working as a neurosurgical ICU nurse. Today, Stephanie is a board-certified Multiple Sclerosis Nurse, she is a Nurse Practitioner and she is the Co-Director of the MS Comprehensive Care Center where she has also been a patient.

Stephanie will share some of her experiences and observations from the dual perspective of someone who is a medical specialist who treats patients with MS, and also someone who lives with MS.

We're also talking about the results of the very first clinical trial to demonstrate a slowing in the progression of disability in secondary progressive MS. We'll tell you about a new Canadian study that shows a clear connection between depression and physical disability in MS. And we'll talk about the kind of information that California's new prescription drug price transparency bill is revealing.

RealTalk MS Episode 25: Progressive MS Day With Dan & Jennifer Digmann

March is MS Awareness Month, and tomorrow we'll be observing the first ever Progressive MS Day, which is being celebrated by several MS advocacy groups and state governments around the United States.

My guests on the podcast are Dan and Jennifer Digmann. Jennifer was diagnosed with Progressive MS in 1997, and Dan was diagnosed with relapsing-remitting MS in 2000. Dan & Jennifer met at a National MS Society event in 2002, and they were married in 2005.

Together, Dan & Jennifer write an award-winning MS blog, they host the A Couple Takes On MS podcast on the MS & ME Radio Network, they've co-authored a book entitled, Despite MS, to Spite MS, and in 2015, they were inducted into the National MS Society Volunteer Hall of Fame for Advocacy.

We'll talk with Dan & Jennifer Digmann and get their thoughts about Progressive MS Day, and on what life is like when both partners in a marriage have been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
