Episode 316: Sex and MS with Madelyn Esposito
Manage episode 377322988 series 1605758
It's not unusual to see sex and intimacy become unintended and unnecessary collateral damage in the day-to-day-challenges of living with MS. But it doesn't have to be that way.
Madelyn Esposito, LPC, NCC, CST, joins me to discuss some of the common sexual problems faced by people living with MS, ways to maintain intimacy in your relationships, and tips for maintaining a healthy sex life.
Kristine Werner-Ozug and Cheryl Weeks-Frey take you inside the workings of the MS Society's Community Review of MS Research Committee.
We're also sharing important survey results that support updating the way that we describe MS, research MS, and treat MS.
We'll give you the details of a novel inverse vaccine that's been shown to stop the autoimmune response associated with MS.
And we're congratulating Dr Rhonda Voskuhl for being named the first recipient of the Rachel Horne Prize for Women's Research in MS.
We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
