Episode 342: Behind the Scenes of an MS Research Study with Chiquita Shepard-Knight and Earl Sneed

We often discuss the results of MS research studies on this podcast. In order to get to those results, people living with MS have to step up and volunteer to participate. This week, you'll meet Chiquita Shepard-Knight and Earl Sneed, two participants in the TEAAMS study.

Chiquita and Earl will discuss how they discovered the TEAAMS study, what motivated them to get involved, what their experience as study participants was like, and what the results of the study were for them.

We'll also take you to Capitol Hill as we share conversations that we had during Hill Day at the National MS Society's Public Policy Conference.

It's MS Awareness Month, and we're sharing new videos that feature interviews with leading MS experts along with the thoughts and reactions of people living with MS.

And we'll tell you where you can catch the video replay of the International Progressive MS Alliance's webcast on emerging treatments for progressive MS.

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