    Episode 283:12 Years Old and Diagnosed with MS with Faith Bigam Jan 30, 2023
    Show notes

    Faith Bigam was diagnosed with MS in 2014, when she was 12 years old. She didn't know what MS was because, well, why would any 12-year-old kid know what MS is? But Faith quickly learned and just a year later, she had already become an Ambassador for the MS Society of Canada.

    The initial years of Faith's MS journey weren't easy, and I'm not sure how someone of any age who had less resilience might have handled them. But I'm pretty sure that next to the word "resilience" in the dictionary you'll find a picture of Faith Bigam. And I promise you, there are some things about Faith that are going to surprise you.

    The National MS Society's 2023 Pathways to Wellness virtual program takes place February 9th. We'll give you the details and tell you how to register for this free event.

    You'll hear about L'Oreal's "smart" lipstick applicator. It's the first product in a line designed to make the task of putting on makeup accessible to people living with disabilities.

    And we'll tell you what researchers discovered in a study that focused on analyzing the gut microbiome of young people living with pediatric MS.

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

    Episode 282: Preventing Falls (And Staying Safe When You Can't!) with Dr. Sara Migliarese Jan 23, 2023
    Show notes

    The CDC tells us that 36 million falls are reported each year, resulting in 3 million adults being transported to the emergency room and 32,000 adults dying from their falls.

    Studies have shown that, in any six-month period, more than 50% of the people living with MS fall at least once, and more than 30% fall multiple times. Falling can cause broken bones, brain damage, and worse. That's why I'm dedicating this entire episode of RealTalk MS to fall prevention.

    Dr. Sara Migliarese joins me with tips, tools, and strategies you can use to prevent falls while keeping yourself safe and more independent. Dr. Migliarese is a Board Certified Neurologic Clinical Specialist, and a Professor in the Department of Physical Therapy at Winston-Salem State University where she is also the Director of the Neurologic Clinical Residency Program.

    Episode 280: How the Proposed Framework for Diagnosing and Treating MS Will Affect You with Dr. Tim Coetzee Jan 09, 2023
    Show notes

    Last week, in Episode 279 of RealTalk MS we talked with Professor Tanja Kuhlmann about a new framework for researching, diagnosing, and treating MS that was proposed by the International Advisory Committee on Clinical Trials in Multiple Sclerosis. This proposed framework represents the next evolutionary step in diagnosing and treating MS.

    Joining me this week to talk about how this proposed framework will impact people living with MS is the National MS Society's Chief Advocacy, Services, and Science Officer, Dr. Tim Coetzee.

    For many people, the new year inspires familiar resolutions to start a diet. If you're searching for the "MS Diet", we're sharing an update on what the experts have learned about diet and MS, and what they recommend.

    The National MS Society's Pathways to Wellness virtual program takes place February 9th. We'll give you the details and tell you how to register for this free event.

    And you'll hear about Frequency Therapeutics' remyelination project for people living with MS. Clinical trials are planned to begin this year!

    Episode 279: A New Framework for Researching, Diagnosing, and Treating MS with Professor Tanja Kuhlmann Jan 02, 2023
    Show notes

    Every episode of RealTalk MS features updates and reports about emerging science. And, as you listen, some of you may wonder, 'When will these scientific achievements benefit me? When will these breakthroughs and advancements make their way from the laboratory workbench to the clinic?' That's exactly what the panel of MS experts who comprise the International Advisory Committee on Clinical Trials in MS are proposing in a new framework that leverages what scientists are continuing to learn and re-defines how we talk about MS, research MS, diagnose MS, and treat MS.

    The new framework being recommended by the committee is broadly outlined in a paper that was published about 8 weeks ago. Joining me to discuss what this proposed framework is all about is the paper's lead author, Professor Tanja Kuhlmann.

    We're also talking about the new high-efficacy disease-modifying therapy that received its FDA approval last week.

    We're sharing the details behind the FDA's approval of a Phase 3 clinical trial for Masitinib, an investigational therapy for treating progressive MS.

    We'll tell you about Abata Therapeutics' first T-cell treatment candidate for treating progressive MS.

    And you'll hear about the results of a study that compared the outcome of treating people living with secondary progressive MS with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT) versus treatment by disease-modifying therapies.

    Episode 278: Re-Visiting My Conversation with Tyler Campbell Dec 26, 2022
    Show notes

    When people ask me how I go about deciding who to interview for this podcast, my answer has always been the same. I look for difference-makers. People whose efforts are making a real difference in the MS community. They might be a researcher, clinician, rehabilitation specialist, MS Navigator, fundraiser...it's a long list. A difference-maker might also be someone who motivates and inspires all of us by the way they choose to embrace life.

    My favorite conversation this year was with just that kind of person. And, judging from the many thousands of you who listened to that conversation and the feedback so many of you shared with me, it was one of your favorite convesations, too.

    In 2007, Tyler Campbell was a running back at San Diego State, looking forward to a real shot at a career in the NFL. Instead, Tyler's life was turned upside down by an MS diagnosis.

    For some people, that would have been the end of the story. For Tyler, it was only the beginning.

    Episode 277: Re-Visiting Pathways to Cures with Dr. Carol Whitacre and Professor Alan Thompson Dec 19, 2022
    Show notes

    For me, the holiday season is a time for joy, celebration, and reflection. And when I reflect upon the advances in MS research that we've seen in the past year, it's hard not to feel encouraged. 2022 will be remembered as the year when the National MS Society published the Pathways to Cures research roadmap, a bold initiative focused on stopping MS progression, restoring lost function, and ending MS forever.

    I talked about this pivotal moment in the history of MS research with Dr. Carol Whitacre and Professor Alan Thompson, and they each shared their insights into what the Pathways to Cures research roadmap was all about and what this historic initiative means for people affected by MS. My conversations with Dr. Whitacre and Professor Thompson were two of the most important conversations that I had in 2022 and, as the year draws to a close, I think they're worth revisiting.

    Episode 276: ECTRIMS Research Update Part 2 with Dr. Bruce Bebo Dec 12, 2022
    Show notes

    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 Dec 05, 2022
    Show notes

    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!)

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