Episode 248: Pregnancy and MS with Dr. Annette Langer-Gould

Starting a family is a big step for anyone. And when you're living with MS and you're on MS medications along with other symptom management medications, planning a family creates a lot of questions about what's safe and what's not. Dr. Annette Langer-Gould, a clinician-scientist and MS specialist in the Kaiser-Permanente health system, joins me to answer questions about how to safely and successfully navigate conception, pregnancy, and the postpartum period with MS. We'll also get a briefing from Principal Investigator Dr. Jiwon Oh on the long-term extension study of Tolebrutinib, an investigational MS medication that's part of a whole new category of MS medications.  And we're sharing details of the 2022 Black MS Experience Summit, taking place June 15-16.
