Episode 155: Managing Caregiver Stress with MaryAnne Sterling

Being a caregiver can be stressful in the best of circumstances. And life certainly doesn't get any easier or less burdensome for a family caregiver during a global pandemic. Research shows that COVID-19 is adding to the long list of things that caregivers worry about, adding a whole new layer of stress and anxiety to the situations they face every day. My guest this week is MaryAnne Sterling. MaryAnne is an expert on the challenges of family caregiving. And we're talking about ways that MS caregivers can offset stress and avoid burnout by incorporating self-care into their daily routine. We're also talking about a UTSW research team that's identified a new target for minimizing inflammation in the central nervous system. We're looking at some alarming results from a study that shows 1 in 5 MS patients fail to stay on their oral disease-modifying therapy. And we're sharing the details of a new at-home UTI test kit. We don't want you to miss A&W's Burgers to Beat MS Day this Thursday, so we'll tell you how you can participate -- even if you're nowhere near an A&W! And we'll share some of the alarming findings from a report on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on family caregivers. We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
