Episode 314: Pelvic Floor Health and MS with Jill Ehrmantraut

When you're living with MS, managing your pelvic floor health may not be among the first things you think about. But pelvic floor dysfunction, and the problems that arise from it, like bladder and bowel issues, can seriously impact your health, well-being, and quality of life.

Jill Ehrmantraut, a physical therapist and women's health clinical specialist with advanced training in pelvic rehabilitation, joins me to explain what pelvic floor rehab is all about, why it's important, and how you can get started on the path to improving your pelvic floor health.

We'll also tell you about the first 10 drugs that will be subject to price negotiations between Medicare and the companies that manufacture these drugs. (And we'll tell you how that's going to benefit tens of thousands of people living with MS)

We'll share the details of how you can weigh in on setting future research priorities for studying women's health in MS.

We'll let you know how you can participate in the Patient Community Day at ECTRIMS, the largest MS research conference in the world.

If you're in New York and you're ready to laugh for a good cause, we have the details about the upcoming StandUp2MS comedy club benefit at Gotham Comedy Club.

And we're sharing U.S. News & World Report's ranking of the best hospitals in the U.S. for neurology and neurosurgery.

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