Episode 366: Medicare and MS -- Getting Your Ducks In a Row with Laquel Thomas
Saison 7 · Épisode 366
lundi 2 septembre 2024 • Durée 35:13
Most of us know Medicare as health insurance for Americans who are 65 or older, but when they qualify for Social Security disability benefits, people younger than 65 automatically qualify for Medicare. Today, between 25 and 30% of the people living with MS are Medicare beneficiaries.
Whether you already have Medicare or you'll be signing up for Medicare in the future, getting the right coverage requires making some important choices.
Licensed Medicare Advisor Laquel Thomas joins me with tips, strategies, and explanations for successfully navigating Medicare and getting the coverage you need.
We’re explaining the good news in the results from a Phase 3 clinical trial for Tolebrutinib, Sanofi’s experimental oral BTK inhibitor. The trial showed that, compared to placebo, Tolebrutinib met the primary endpoint, delaying the onset of confirmed disability progression in people with non-relapsing secondary progressive MS.
Take My Hand is an Australian film based on the true story of Claire Jensz, a mother of three living in London who is diagnosed with MS at the peak of her high-powered career. Be sure to catch my conversation with Claire, Radha Mitchell, the film's star, and John Raftopoulos, the film's director.
We're sharing the details of a study that may have uncovered an underlying cause of MS and, perhaps, all autoimmune diseases.
We'll tell you about the results of a stem cell study that show MS may involve more than just immune cells.
And we'll give you what may be surprising details of a study that focused on how MS impacts the quality of life of fully ambulatory people living with mild MS symptoms.
We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!

Episode 365: It's the Episode Where I Get Interviewed with Jon Strum
Saison 7 · Épisode 365
lundi 26 août 2024 • Durée 41:35
If you're a regular listener, you know that I rely on the RealTalk MS listener community to let me know which topics you'd like to hear about on this podcast. A few years ago, in episode 264, listener Dawnia Baynes did a podcast takeover, and interviewed me. Since then, I've heard from a bunch of you who, for some reason, want to hear more about me. So, when listener Kyra Millich asked if she could interview me, it felt like it was time.
In today's episode, you'll find out what I like to do when I'm not doing this podcast, I'll share some of the most memorable moments in my life, you'll hear how and why I started RealTalk MS, and I hope you'll get to know me a little better.
You'll also hear about results from a study that show people with MS are far less likely to be diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease compared to people who don't have MS.
We'll tell you about a Phase 1 clinical trial for a CAR-T cell therapy for MS.
And you'll learn the details of a different Phase 1 clinical trial for a different CAR-T cell therapy for MS.

Over the course of her 39-year career with the National MS Society, including the past 13 years as its President and CEO, Cyndi Zagieboylo has been a driving force behind major initiatives that have fundamentally changed the MS treatment and research landscape. Creating a world where cures for MS are now within reach, Cyndi has led the work to make living with MS better today than it's ever been.
On July 1, Cyndi is retiring from her remarkable career at the National MS Society. I had an opportunity to talk with Cyndi about the progress she's witnessed and the progress she has driven in leading the MS Society. It's been a career filled with so many moments that are worthy of celebration, I am devoting this entire episode of RealTalk MS to one last conversation with Cyndi Zagieboylo.

Episode 276: ECTRIMS Research Update Part 2 with Dr. Bruce Bebo
Saison 6 · Épisode 276
lundi 12 décembre 2022 • Durée 36:56
Some of you might remember that at the end of October, I was in Amsterdam, attending the 2022 ECTRIMS Congress. ECTRIMS is an acronym for the European Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis, and their annual scientific congress is the largest MS research conference in the world. As the conference ended, I sat on some steps outside the conference center alongside the National MS Society's Executive Vice-President of Research, Dr. Bruce Bebo. And Dr. Bebo shared his initial impressions of some of the research that had been presented over the 3-day conference. If you missed that episode of the podcast, you may want to listen to episode number 270 of RealTalk MS
After having had a few weeks to consider all of the research that was presented at the ECTRIMS Congress, Dr. Bebo is back to share his final ECTRIMS research update, and talk about the rest of the research that caught his attention at the 2022 ECTRIMS Congress.
You'll also meet the Co-Chair of the MS Society Southern California chapter's Emerging Leaders Board and this year's recipient of the Dorothy Corwin Spirit of Life Award, Kristen Karasek. Kristen was diagnosed with MS at the age of 24, but, as will become clear to you, she hasn't let MS get in her way. I think you'll find Kristen's positivity to be infectious.

Episode 275: Choosing the Right Disease-Modifying Therapy with Ross Tingen, PharmD, BCPS, MSCS
Saison 6
lundi 5 décembre 2022 • Durée 28:20
The first step in living well with MS is establishing a treatment plan with your neurologist or MS specialist. And a disease-modifying therapy, or DMT, should be the foundation of that plan. Joining me to talk about what disease-modifying therapies can and can't do, and how to work with your doctor to find the best MS medication for you is the Clinical Pharmacy Specialist in Multiple Sclerosis and Neuroimmunology at VCU Health in Richmond Virginia, Ross Tingen.
Why are we talking about global warming on a podcast about MS? Because we're talking about the results of a study that show how climate change has a negative impact on people living with multiple sclerosis and other neurological conditions.
We're also sharing the results of a study that demonstrate the sobering reality of the association between socioeconomic status and death among people living with MS.
If you're on Tecfidera, you'll want to hear about a study that focused on how alcohol may change the efficacy of your DMT.
And we'll tell you about a study that revealed significant differences in how the prodromal phase of MS affects men and women at different ages. (And we'll also tell you why understanding the MS prodrome is important!)

Saison 6 · Épisode 274
lundi 28 novembre 2022 • Durée 32:25
A quick scan of the news on any given day should remind all of us that natural disasters can strike anywhere at any time. Whether it's massive snowstorms, earthquakes, wildfires, hurricanes or floods, no one is immune when Mother Nature chooses to act up. That's why being prepared for a natural disaster is important for everyone. And if you're living with MS, it's especially important for you to have your family's emergency preparedness plan in place.
Senior Medical Advisor to National Disaster Operations at the American Red Cross, Mary Casey-Lockyer, joins me to talk about the things that people living with MS should include in their emergency preparedness plan.
We're also talking with Dr. Aaron Kesselheim, a researcher at Harvard's Brigham and Women's Hospital. And if you're on Lemtrada, Dr. Kesselheim could use your help.

Saison 6 · Épisode 273
lundi 21 novembre 2022 • Durée 35:00
Spasticity is one of the most common symptoms of MS, impacting up to 80% of the people living with MS.

Dr. Cameron is a neurologist and physical therapist, a professor in the Department of Neurology at Oregon Health & Science University, Interim Chief of Neurology at the VA Portland Healthcare System, and Co-Director of the VA MS Center of Excellence West.

We'll share the details around the discovery of human antibodies that have been shown to prevent Epstein-Barr infection (And we'll explain why this could be incredibly important)
