Episode 291: Disclosing Your MS to Friends and Family with Dr. Victoria Leavitt
Manage episode 359140070 series 1605758
To tell or not to tell. When it comes to disclosing your MS to friends and family, that is the question. Choosing when to disclose and to whom to disclose is a deeply personal decision. Joining me to talk about some of the risks and benefits of disclosing your diagnosis is Dr. Victoria Leavitt, a clinical neuropsychologist, researcher, and assistant professor of neuropsychology at Columbia University.
Well also tell you about a just-announced collaboration to develop an Epstein-Barr Virus vaccine (and we'll tell you why that could be a huge step toward ending MS forever!)
We're sharing the details behind the MS International Federation's application to have three MS disease-modifying therapies added to the World Health Organization's list of essential medicines.
We'll tell you how a study that tested a fall prevention program for people living with MS who used a wheelchair or scooter full-time may have failed...and yet succeeded.
We're sharing the results of a study that set out to determine whether people over 50 who were living with MS were increasing their use of health care services because of their MS or simply because they were aging.
And we'll tell you about a study that focused on the psychosocial impact of MS on children who had a parent living with MS.
We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
