Episode 119: Gaining Access to MS Medications with Lisa Aquillano, PharmD, BCPS, MSCS

What can you do when the MS medication you need can cost $80,000, $90,000 or even $100,000 a year, and you don't have health insurance? Or you have health insurance, but your insurance company won't approve the specific disease-modifying therapy that your neurologist thinks will be best for you?

My guest is Lisa Aquillano, a Clinical Pharmacy Specialist in Multiple Sclerosis at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia. And we're talking about specific steps that you can take to overcome the obstacles standing in the way of gaining access to your MS disease-modifying therapy.

We're also talking about a remarkable program for people living with MS and their care partners. But the window to register for this program is just 24 hours long! And it's coming up in 2 days! We'll tell you all about the program and let you know exactly how to register. We'll tell you about what may be an important new discovery of a molecule that completely resolves MS in mice. We'll also tell you about a study that shows that people living with MS who are also dealing with depression are much more likely to develop debilitating disability sooner. And we'll tell you how and why Google is cracking down on shady stem cell clinic ads. We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??! ___________ CAN-DO Program: 24-Hour Registration Opens Dec. 12 2:15
