This week, our coverage of the Consortium of MS Centers annual meeting continues with my guest, Dr. Stephen Krieger. In a wide-ranging conversation, Dr. Krieger offers a very encouraging clinical trial update, shares his thoughts on what treating someone living with advanced MS ought to look like, and points out potential obstacles to implementing the updated criteria for diagnosing MS.
Dr. Krieger is a Professor of Neurology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York, and a Multiple Sclerosis Specialist at the Corinne Coldsmith Dickinson Center for MS.
We're also sharing results of a study that revealed some surprising connections between caffeine, alcohol, opioids, and MS symptoms.
And if you're living with MS and you're the parent of a young child, we'll tell you about a book that belongs on your bookshelf.
We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
