Episode 386: When to Seek Immediate Medical Care for MS with Dr. Kalina Sanders

MS symptoms can worsen, and relapses can occur. And when that happens, how do you know whether you require immediate medical care? When is it time to go to the hospital? Dr. Kalina Sanders joins me to talk about when it's time to seek immediate medical care for MS.

Dr. Sanders is a board-certified neurologist who specializes in multiple sclerosis and spasticity management at Baptist Health in Jacksonville Beach, Florida.

We're also talking about MS care in the United Arab Emirates with Professor Bassem Yamout, the President of the Middle East North Africa Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis.

We'll explain why Bayer's new MRI contrast agent is good news for people with MS.

We'll tell you about a new Federal Trade Commission report that calls out Pharmacy Benefit Managers for inflating the price of generic specialty drugs by thousands of percent.

We'll share the details of a study that shows the profound impact of menopause on MS.

And we're sharing two different opportunities for you to participate in MS research.

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