Living with MS means living with uncertainty, possible physical disability or cognitive dysfunction, bouts of crushing fatigue, mood changes, and let's not forget the very real irritation of well-meaning people telling you how healthy you look. Just processing the world around you can feel challenging.
In this episode, psychologist Dr. Miriam Franco joins me to discuss how developing a growth mindset can make all the difference in how you experience your MS journey.
We're also sharing a real-world example of how the drastic cuts in federal funding are already impacting MS care.
We'll tell you about the first country in the world to approve Tolebrutinib, a new disease-modifying therapy for nonrelapsing secondary progressive MS. And we'll explain why people are particularly excited about this medication.
We'll share details about the MS Clinical Imaging and Data Resource that's been launched by the International Progressive MS Alliance.
We'll tell you how and where to catch the MS Standup Comedy Benefit next Monday in New York.
And we're reminding you about your opportunity to impact future MS therapies by helping the FDA better understand what living with MS is really like.
We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
