Past Podcast Episodes

In this week's episode, we're talking about a set of MS symptoms that can range in intensity from mildly annoying to completely debilitating. These symptoms include numbness, tingling, pain, that “electric shock” feeling you might experience traveling down the back of your neck, and the infamous MS hug.

Dr. Jeffrey Hernandez

Joining me to walk us through how to best manage these sensory symptoms is Dr. Jeffrey Hernandez. Dr. Hernandez is a doctorally prepared nurse practitioner who specializes in multiple sclerosis.

We're also extending an invitation for you to spend a quick couple of minutes taking the RealTalk MS listener survey…and we're adding some motivation to that invitation by giving you an opportunity to win a $100 Amazon gift card.

And we're inviting you to get up close and personal with some of the most brilliant MS researchers in the world in Parts 1 and 2 of our two-part special podcast series, Barancik Prize Conversations.

We'll share an amazing essay about living with progressive MS that was written by author and artist, Elizabeth Jameson, and published in the San Francisco Chronicle.

You'll hear my recent conversation with one of the leading experts in the world on autologous hematopoietic stem cell therapy (aHSCT), Dr. Jeffrey Cohen.

And we'll tell you about how you can participate in the Targeted Exercise for African-Americans with Multiple Sclerosis (TEAAMS) study.

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

Welcome to Part 2 of a special two-part RealTalk MS series highlighting conversations with past recipients of the Barancik Prize for Innovation in MS Research.

The Barancik Prize is awarded at the annual meeting of the Americas Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis, a meeting better known as the ACTRIMS Forum. Several past Barancik Prize winners gathered at the 2023 ACTRIMS Forum to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Barancik Prize, and I took that opportunity to chat with this remarkable group of MS research all-stars.

Dr. Katerina Akassoglou, Dr. Dwight Bergles, and Dr. Ruth Ann Marrie

Part 2 of Barancik Prize Conversations features the 2018, 2020, and 2022 Barancik Prize winners.

Dr. Katerina Akassolgou, of the Gladstone Institute of Neurological Disease, was awarded the Barancik Prize in 2018 for her work understanding the role of fibrin-related nerve damage in MS and designing potential therapies to prevent neurodegeneration.

Dr. Dwight Bergles, of Johns Hopkins University, received the Barancik Prize in 2020 in recognition of his pioneering research in understanding the brain cells involved in myelin repair.

Dr. Ruth Ann Marrie, of the University of Manitoba, is the 2022 recipient of the Barancik Prize in recognition of her groundbreaking contributions to our understanding of MS.

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