Episode 31: David Mitchell & Patients For Affordable Drugs

In 2004, the average wholesale price of available MS disease-modifying therapies was $16,000. In 2013, the average price was $61,000; last year, the average price was more than $83,000. That's why my guest this week is David Mitchell, founder and president of Patients for Affordable Drugs. We're also talking about the RealTalk MS Podcast Alexa Skill! If you already own an Amazon Echo, Dot, or any Alexa-enabled device, you can access all sorts of convenient features for listening to RealTalk MS! (And if you don't yet have an Alexa-enabled device, this might be one more reason to get one!) A new study concludes that Autologous Haematopoietic Stem Cell Therapy is safe and effective in treating 'aggressive' MS. Another pilot study demonstrates that aspirin can help prevent the onset of overheating and exhaustion following exercise. And your future appointments with your neurologist just may take place from the comfort of your own home. We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS? ____________
