Episode 166: Managing MS-Related Fatigue with Dr. Bardia Nourbakhsh and Dr. Kathy Zackowski

Fatigue is considered to be the most common MS symptom and also one of the most disabling because fatigue can interfere with every aspect of someone's life -- at home, at work, in their relationships -- in every way, fatigue can have a profound impact on your quality of life. We're talking about how to best manage MS-related fatigue with two experts on the subject, Dr. Bardia Nourbakhsh, and Dr. Kathy Zackowski. Remembering Karen Jackson We're also remembering Karen Jackson, an MS activist, tireless advocate, a supporter of people-powered research, friend to this podcast, and a special person who we were lucky to know. We're also talking about the National MS Society's first recommendation for stem cell therapy as a treatment for MS. This recommendation comes with some important caveats and we'll cover them all. We'll share some very disturbing survey results that reveal widespread mistreatment of MS patients by their family caregivers. And we'll tell you what we're doing about it. If you're an adult living with MS, we'll share the details of an opportunity for you to participate in a clinical trial from the comfort of your own home, as researchers study the health benefits of tele-exercise. And you'll meet a true difference-maker in the MS community when you meet Cristina Antelo, who submitted the winning bid in a fundraising auction for the National MS Society. And the item that Cristina bid on was.....this interview! We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
