RealTalk MS Episode 29: New Treatment Guidelines For MS Announced

The American Academy of Neurology (AAN) is holding its Annual Meeting this week in Los Angeles. And with more than 10,000 neurologists all in one place, we're talking about a LOT of news coming out of that conference. Just some of the topics we're talking about on this week's podcast:

The AAN announced new guidelines for treating MS.
A new study will convince you to begin MS disease-modifying therapy sooner, rather than later.
The National MS Society has announced $14.2 million dollars in funding for 45 new research projects aimed at slowing, stopping, and ending MS.
Genentech announced some good news for MS patients taking Ocrevus.
Biogen announced the results of several MS research studies.
Computer-based cognitive training can improve memory for people living with MS.

My guest on the podcast is 3-time Stanley Cup winner and and star of the National Hockey League's Chicago Blackhawks, Bryan Bickell. Bryan retired from hockey last year, after being diagnosed with MS.

We'll talk with Bryan about what it was like to get that diagnosis, what it was like to score that very memorable final goal of his career, and what lies ahead for him. (NOTE: During our conversation, Bryan references a website, "My Fighting Hockey Story". The correct website is MyFightingStory.com. Sorry for the confusion!)
