Episode 359: The Unraveling with Dr. Nara Michaelson

  • Resumen

  • As Harvard Fellow Dr. Nara Michaelson treated women who had been recently diagnosed with MS, she recognized they shared characteristics that she had observed in victims of violent domestic abuse. Dr. Michaelson's observation led her to write The Unraveling, an essay that highlights the fear that can accompany the uncertainty of living with MS. Dr. Michaelson joins me to discuss the experiences that led to her award-winning essay and to share resources that can help maintain your emotional health and well-being in a good place when you're living with MS. We're also sharing the details about BEAT-MS, a clinical trial that will compare autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) with high-efficacy disease-modifying therapies when it comes to reducing or eliminating MS relapse activity. And we'll let you know how to find out if you could be a potential participant in this important clinical trial. We'll tell you about the FDA approval granted to Abata Therapeutics to conduct a Phase 1 clinical trial of ABA-101, their experimental therapy for progressive MS. We're sharing news about the Federal Trade Commission's newly released report on Pharmacy Benefit Managers. (And we'll tell you why this matters to every person in the United States who takes a prescription medication) And we'll tell you about Take Charge, a new virtual program from Can Do MS that you can participate in at no cost!
