Episode 103: Kyra Millich's MS Journey

My guest is Kyra Millich, who, until October of 2013, was a consumer protection litigator in San Francisco, recently married, and already thinking about planning a family. And that's when she received her MS diagnosis. I don't know if Kyra would say that her diagnosis changed her life, or clarified it, but I found Kyra's MS journey to be interesting, inspirational, and instructional. And I think you will too. We're also talking about a breakthrough study in which a research team was able to reverse aging in some very specific brain stem cells in rats (and we'll tell you why that's particularly important to people living with MS!) We'll tell you about the discovery of the connection between certain MS lesions and progressive MS. There's an interesting survey on the economic impact of MS, and we want to remind you that this Thursday is Burgers to Beat MS day in Canada!

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