Episode 275: Choosing the Right Disease-Modifying Therapy with Ross Tingen, PharmD, BCPS, MSCS

The first step in living well with MS is establishing a treatment plan with your neurologist or MS specialist. And a disease-modifying therapy, or DMT, should be the foundation of that plan. Joining me to talk about what disease-modifying therapies can and can't do, and how to work with your doctor to find the best MS medication for you is the Clinical Pharmacy Specialist in Multiple Sclerosis and Neuroimmunology at VCU Health in Richmond Virginia, Ross Tingen.

Why are we talking about global warming on a podcast about MS? Because we're talking about the results of a study that show how climate change has a negative impact on people living with multiple sclerosis and other neurological conditions.

We're also sharing the results of a study that demonstrate the sobering reality of the association between socioeconomic status and death among people living with MS.

If you're on Tecfidera, you'll want to hear about a study that focused on how alcohol may change the efficacy of your DMT.

And we'll tell you about a study that revealed significant differences in how the prodromal phase of MS affects men and women at different ages. (And we'll also tell you why understanding the MS prodrome is important!)

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