Planning for your financial future is good advice for everyone. But when you're living with MS, financial planning is an important part of the game plan for living your best life. Joining me to talk about the things you'll want to keep in mind as you develop your personal financial roadmap is Dick Bell, a professional financial advisor who has worked with more than 600 clients who are living with MS. We're also talking about how Russia's invasion of Ukraine is impacting MS clinical research. We'll tell you about a study that's focusing on a novel approach to promoting remyelination.
