Episode 144: Emotional Wellness and MS: A Check-In with Dr. Amy Sullivan

My guest this week is Dr. Amy Sullivan, a Clinical Health Psychologist and the Director of Behavioral Medicine at the Mellen Center for MS Treatment and Research at the Cleveland Clinic. We're talking about fighting feelings of isolation, building resiliency, caregiver emotional wellness, and how we should be thinking about living in a "new normal" world.

Massachusetts General Hospital and iConquer MS surveyed more than 1,000 people living with MS about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their daily lives. We're among the first to hear the survey results from investigator Dr. Farrah Mateen and Hollie Schmidt.

MS research is about to take a quantum leap forward. We're talking about how the MULTI-ACT patient engagement roadmap will change the face of MS research and involve people affected by MS in ways that they've never been involved in research before.

And we'll share new data from an ongoing clinical trial that's evaluating a cutting-edge cell therapy designed to eliminate B-cells carrying the Epstein-Barr virus. (Many experts believe that eliminating the Epstein-Barr virus Barr virus might eliminate most multiple sclerosis.)

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