There are more than 20 disease-modifying therapies available to treat MS today. Some are considered high-efficacy, some are considered moderately effective, and each has its own risk profile and side effects to consider. So, how do you choose?
How much homework should someone living with MS do? Where should you look for reliable information? And what if you and your neurologist don't necessarily agree?
Joining me to talk about your role when it comes to choosing the right DMT through shared decision-making with your neurologist is Dr. Barbara Giesser. Dr. Giesser is an internationally recognized clinician and award-winning educator who has specialized in the care of people with multiple sclerosis since 1982, a full decade before there was even a single disease-modifying therapy available to treat MS.
Dunk MS takes place This Saturday, May 18th on the UCLA campus, at iconic Pauley Pavilion. And if you're in or around Southern California, you won't want to miss this unique event. We're sharing all the details, so don't miss my conversation with Dunk MS founder, Blake Arnet.
Since we're talking about shared decision-making this week, we're sharing details of a study that asked the question, “How much do people living with MS know about MS?”
And if you've found yourself worried about smoldering MS, you'll be pleased to learn that a recent study showed that sophisticated PET imaging is able to identify this hidden, persistent inflammation in MS.
We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
