Episode 88: Fighting for A Cure with MS Activist Yvette Brisco

My guest this week is Yvette Brisco. Yvette is an MS activist and an MS warrior. And when Yvette talks about the fight to find a cure, she means it literally! We're also talking about the European Medicine Agency's safety review of Lemtrada. We'll tell you about the 20 million American caregivers who are performing medical or nursing tasks for which they've received no training. We'll give you a real-world example of why people living with MS (or anyone else) living in a care facility need an advocate. And you'll hear about a web portal that uses language skills and artificial intelligence to predict cognitive decline. We have a lot to talk about. Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
