Episode 50: The MS Comprehensive Care Model with Dr. Jacqueline Nicholas

Part of the unpredictability of multiple sclerosis is that it can attack in so many different ways. MS can impact your physical well-being, your emotional well-being, your functional abilities and your quality of life. And if your response to MS is to be seen by a single healthcare professional, some of those many aspects of MS can end up being overlooked and, sometimes, even unrecognized. And so they go untreated. That's why the best approach to treating MS is a team approach. My guest is Dr. Jacqueline Nicholas, a clinical neuroimmunologist specializing in MS at OhioHealth in Columbus, OH. OhioHealth operates an MS Comprehensive Care Center that uses this interdisciplinary team approach to provide personalized treatment that's based upon each patient's specific needs.

We're also talking about the discovery of MCMS -- a new MS subtype. We'll tell you about an online resource that offers a comprehensive listing for every kind of support service in key cities throughout the U.S. We're looking at a report just issued by the nonpartisan Government Accountability Office that examines the ways that the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services has been gaming the Affordable Care Act -- and why that's going to cost you more money next year. And we're talking about a study that measures the impact of MS-related swallowing difficulties on quality of life.

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