Episode 118: MS Sucks: Singing for a Cure with Stubhy Pandav

My guest is Stubhy Pandav, the lead singer of Lucky Boys Confusion and The Hoodie Life. Last year, Stubhy was diagnosed with MS. Then, Stubhy's insurance company told him that he couldn't start the disease-modifying therapy that his neurologist had prescribed.   We'll talk with Stubhy about how he's managed to navigate this first year since his MS diagnosis, and we'll also talk with him about MS Sucks: Singing for a Cure, a benefit concert that's raising funds for the Accelerated Cure Project for MS.   We're also talking about the warning that the FDA just issued about CBD. And we'll tell you why two Harvard neurologists have announced that it's time to re-think how neurologists treat MS.    If you've wondered why the cost of MS medications seems to be constantly rising, we'll tell you what a research team from Oregon State University discovered. And we'll tell you where you can sign up for the upcoming webinar, "Debunking Diet Myths."   We have a lot to talk about!
