Episode 214: Managing Sleep and MS with Dr. Abbey Hughes

Getting a good night's sleep is often easier said than done.  About half of the people living with MS experience sleep disorders. Dr. Abbey Hughes is joining me to talk about how sleep and lack of sleep affects MS, and she'll share some specific strategies that you can use to better manage sleep difficulties and get the rest that your mind and body require. We're also sharing a very encouraging update on ATA 188, Atara Biotherapeutics experimental stem cell therapy. Investigator Dr. Anthony Traboulsee joins me to share an update on the Phase 2b clinical trial for Tolebrutinib, one of a new class of disease-modifying therapies. We're also talking about the plans to add accessible gym equipment to Planet Fitness locations throughout the U.S. And we'll give you the details and tell you how to register for all the CAN DO MS programs being offered throughout the month of October. We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
