Episode 273: Spasticity and MS with Dr. Michelle Cameron

Spasticity is one of the most common symptoms of MS, impacting up to 80% of the people living with MS. It can feel like mild muscle tightness that you wish would just go away or it can be so painful and debilitating that it keeps you from moving. Dr. Michelle Cameron joins me in this episode to discuss what spasticity is and how to best manage it.

Dr. Cameron is a neurologist and physical therapist, a professor in the Department of Neurology at Oregon Health & Science University, Interim Chief of Neurology at the VA Portland Healthcare System, and Co-Director of the VA MS Center of Excellence West.

We're also talking about a new framework for thinking and talking about MS that's been proposed by an international panel of MS experts.

We'll tell you about a study that looked at polypharmacy and MS (Of course, we'll also tell you what polypharmacy is and why you should be aware of it!)

We'll share the details around the discovery of human antibodies that have been shown to prevent Epstein-Barr infection (And we'll explain why this could be incredibly important)

If you're an MS caregiver, or you know one, I'm asking for just 5 minutes of your time.

We're celebrating National Caregivers Month by breaking down the details of the National Family Caregiving Strategy that was recently submitted to Congress.

And we're celebrating the indomitable quality of the human spirit by sharing the story of Eric Domingo Roldan and his mom, Sylvia.

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