Episode 159: Resilience and MS with Dr. Dawn Ehde

You can't control the weather, but you can learn to dance in the rain. And developing resilience teaches you how to dance in the rain. My guest is Dr. Dawn Ehde, a clinical psychologist and professor of rehabilitation medicine at University of Washington Medicine. Dr. Ehde is an expert in understanding resilience, and she's joining us to explain why having resilience is central to improving the well-being of people affected by MS, and how to go about building your resilience -- even in the midst of a global pandemic. We're also talking about Bafiertam, a lower-cost, FDA-approved bioequivalent to Tecfidera. We'll share the results of a study of more than 5,000 people who were newly diagnosed with MS -- and not prescribed a disease-modifying therapy for two years following their diagnosis. We'll also explain why that's just wrong! We'll talk to Suzi Claflin, the academic lead for Understanding Multiple Sclerosis, a free comprehensive 6-week online course that's open for registration right now. And we'll remind you about where you can register for next week's Black MS Experience Summit. We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!

We're celebrating 3 amazing years! :22
