Episode 259: How Lack of Sleep Affects MS (and What You Can Do About it!) with Dr. Katie Siengsukon

from RealTalk MS · host Jon Strum and Dr. Katie Siengsukon

More than half of the people living with MS report significant disruptions in their sleep and difficulty maintaining a consistent sleep schedule. Sleep-related problems can lead to additional health issues, not to mention an overall decline in quality of life and well-being. The Director of the Sleep, Health, and Wellness Lab at the University of Kansas Medical Center Department of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Science, Dr. Katie Siengsukon, returns to the podcast to talk about how sleep affects MS and what you can do about it. We're also sharing all the ways the Inflation Reduction Act will benefit people living with MS. And we're celebrating the MS Activists who helped push this legislation through Congress! We have some good news to share about Mark Cuban's CostPlus Drug Company. We'll give you a quick review of where to find the show notes for each episode of RealTalk MS (and why you might want to do that!) We're sharing results from a study that demonstrated an important benefit for people with primary progressive MS who were treated with diseaes-modifying therapies. We'll tell you about two scientists who identified a combination of genes that increase a woman's risk of developing MS by 20 times. And we'll remind you that Burgers to Beat MS is happening this Thursday! We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
