Episode 131: Racial Disparity in MS Symptomatology with Dr. Jackie Bhattarai

My guest is Dr. Jackie Bhattarai and we're talking about her research exploring the disparities in MS-related depression and fatigue symptoms between African-Americans living with MS and Caucasians living with MS. We're also talking about positive clinical trial results for a drug that slows disability progression in people living with primary progressive MS and non-active secondary progressive MS. And we'll tell you about the new MS drug from Novartis that's awaiting FDA and EMA approval. You'll learn about a study that shows how high doses of Vitamin D increased inflammation and worsened disability in mice that had the "mouse version" of MS. And you'll hear about the insurance company in Utah that's saving money by flying people to Mexico to purchase their prescription medications (and they're even throwing in a $500 cash bonus for every trip you make!). We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??! ___________ Greetings from the MS Society's Public Policy Conference :21
