Episode 307: Managing Stress and Anxiety When You're Living With MS with Dr. Bree Wannamaker

Learning to effectively manage stress and anxiety is important for everyone. And if you're living with the unpredictability of MS, it may be doubly important.

Joining me to discuss the impact that stress and anxiety can have on your physical and mental health, along with strategies you can use to manage the stress and anxiety in your life, is Dr. Bree Wannamaker. Dr. Wannamaker lives with MS, and she's a Licensed Professional Counselor and Chief Therapist & Consultant in her practice, Just Us Counseling and Consulting, LLC.

We're also sharing the results of a study that compared patient outcomes among people with relapsing-remitting MS who were started on a high-efficacy disease-modifying therapy and people with relapsing-remitting MS who were started on a lower efficacy DMT.

We'll tell you about remyelination research that led to a surprising conclusion.

We'll share the details about Crush MS, an amazing event in Napa Valley that brings together wine, food, and music to raise money for MS research. I hope I'll see you there!

And if you're on Ocrevus, we have some potentially time-saving news to share with you!

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