RealTalk MS

Jon Strum

Jon Strum cuts through all the jargon and breaks down the latest multiple sclerosis news. You’ll meet the scientists who are creating tomorrow’s MS treatments today. You’ll hear from the experts discussing how the latest tweaks and changes to our healthcare laws will impact your MS treatment. And we’ll be talking to the courageous MS warriors who are out there advocating on behalf of the MS community every day, as well as the men and women who are committed to living their best lives with MS and living their best lives as MS caregivers. If you're dealing with multiple sclerosis in your life -- as a patient, caregiver, family member, or friend -- join us each week for RealTalk MS.

Listen to the last episode:

There are some people who, once you meet them, it's impossible to forget them. They seem to leave an indelible impression. Lydia Emily is one of those people. Whether it's through her art that occasionally escapes the canvas to be expressed as massive urban murals proclaiming End MS, or through her outspoken MS advocacy. Lydia Emily is a force. Now, along with co-author Lenlee Keep, Lydia Emily has channeled that energy into a book entitled, The Art of Hope: The Life and Art of Lydia Emily.

Lydia Emily and her co-author, Lenlee Keep, join me this week to talk about the process of writing the book and some of the issues affecting people with MS that Lydia Emily is passionate about.

We'll also tell you about study results that provide an answer to how nerve cells die in MS.

We'll share results from a study that shows MS progression may not be directly connected to the number of lesions someone may have.

And we'll tell you about research that provides evidence for continuing your MS disease-modifying therapy, no matter your age.

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