<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="align-left"&gt;Almost everyone with MS is aware of their sensitivity to heat. But cold weather presents a whole different set of challenges that we don't always think about.&lt;/span&gt; This week, I'm talking with Dr. James Stark about safely navigating cold-weather conditions when you're living with MS. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img src= "//assets.libsyn.com/show/105901/stark.jpg" alt="Dr. James Stark" width="328" height="269" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="align-left"&gt;Dr. Stark is the Senior Attending Neurologist and Associate Medical Director at the International Multiple Sclerosis Management Practice. And he's sharing tips for staying safe and healthy when the temperature starts to drop.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The FDA has just approved a new generic DMT, and the first biosimilar for MS is hitting the market. We'll tell you about these new disease-modifying therapy options, and we'll bring you up to speed on what biosimilars are all about.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I ran into Dr. Robert Fox at ECTRIMS, the world's largest MS research conference. And, in a brief conversation, Dr. Fox provided a great overview of the MS research landscape. You won't want to miss this conversation! &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;If you missed the International Progressive MS Alliance's global webcast, &lt;em&gt;Hidden Potential: How Existing Drugs Could Transform MS Treatment&lt;/em&gt;, you can still catch the video replay. We're sharing all the details. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;We have a &lt;em&gt;lot&lt;/em&gt; to talk about!

Episode 430: Navigating Winter Weather When You're Living with MS with Dr. James Stark

NOV 24, 202536 MIN

Description

Almost everyone with MS is aware of their sensitivity to heat. But cold weather presents a whole different set of challenges that we don't always think about. This week, I'm talking with Dr. James Stark about safely navigating cold-weather conditions when you're living with MS.

Dr. Stark is the Senior Attending Neurologist and Associate Medical Director at the International Multiple Sclerosis Management Practice. And he's sharing tips for staying safe and healthy when the temperature starts to drop.

The FDA has just approved a new generic DMT, and the first biosimilar for MS is hitting the market. We'll tell you about these new disease-modifying therapy options, and we'll bring you up to speed on what biosimilars are all about.

I ran into Dr. Robert Fox at ECTRIMS, the world's largest MS research conference. And, in a brief conversation, Dr. Fox provided a great overview of the MS research landscape. You won't want to miss this conversation!

If you missed the International Progressive MS Alliance's global webcast, Hidden Potential: How Existing Drugs Could Transform MS Treatment, you can still catch the video replay. We're sharing all the details.

We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
