Episode 401: The Things That (Should) Happen at Your Appointment With Your Neurologist with Dr. Barbara Giesser

Most people living with MS don't see their neurologist often. For many, it might be only once or twice a year. A lot of important things take place during that appointment. Symptoms are assessed. Decisions about disease-modifying therapies are made or, sometimes, changed. Questions get asked and, hopefully, answered.

Dr. Barbara Giesser returns to the podcast, this time, to review the things that should be discussed and followed up on at your appointment with your neurologist or MS specialist.

We're also sharing some good news about MS research funding from the National MS Society and the International Progressive MS Alliance.

We'll tell you how you can catch the replay of the International Progressive MS Alliance's webcast focused on putting people with MS at the center of MS research.

We're sharing the encouraging outcome of the Phase 2 clinical trial for vidofludimus calcium and progressive MS.

We'll tell you how you or a family member can participate in the GEMS study.

And we'll tell you about a new AI tool that can accurately diagnose a patient's transition from relapsing-remitting MS to secondary progressive MS, often before a clinician can!

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