Episode 145: Managing MS Through Different Stages of Life with Dr. Jennifer Graves

MS changes as we age and it follows that managing MS should change, too. We're talking about managing MS through different stages of life with Dr. Jennifer Graves, an associate professor of neuroscience at UC San Diego Health, Director of the UC San Diego Neuroimmunology Research Program, and the Director of the Rady Children's Hospital Pediatric MS Clinic.   There's also lots of news to share about MS disease-modifying therapies including the availability of a newly-approved DMT, an extended FDA review of a potential DMT that was expected to be approved this month, encouraging news about yet another potential DMT that's currently in development, and a change in an already-approved DMT.
