Episode 51: MS Research From Australia with Dr. Lisa Melton

MS Research Australia has published a report titled, Health Economic Impact of Multiple Sclerosis in Australia 2017. The report provides a detailed snapshot of the economics behind MS, looking at employment, quality of life issues, and even calculating the cost per person living with MS in Australia. The report concludes with some powerful recommendations for future steps. My guest is Dr. Lisa Melton, Head of Research at MS Research Australia, and we're talking about what this report is telling us, what it's recommending, and how we transition those recommendations into actionable steps.

We're also talking about some good news for people living with progressive MS -- the extremely positive outcome of the Phase 2 clinical trial for Ibudilast. We'll tell you about a couple of upcoming educational webinars about Ocrevus and primary progressive MS, and Ocrevus and relapsing remitting MS. We'll update you on the latest news about Phase 2 clinical trials for cannabis-based medications to treat MS, you'll get a heads-up about a very sneaky (and very dangerous) piece of legislation that is potentially devastating to people living with MS in the U.S., and we'll tell you how you can catch an online video of last week's Progress in MS Research: Live Update 2018 presentation in Australia.

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