RealTalk MS Episode 26: Stephanie Buxhoeveden Is An MS Nurse Who Also Happens To Have MS - a podcast by Jon Strum

 

My podcast guest Stephanie Buxhoeveden was diagnosed with MS when she was 25 years old, working as a neurosurgical ICU nurse. Today, Stephanie is a board-certified Multiple Sclerosis Nurse, she is a Nurse Practitioner and she is the Co-Director of the MS Comprehensive Care Center where she has also been a patient.

 

 

Stephanie will share some of her experiences and observations from the dual perspective of someone who is a medical specialist who treats patients with MS, and also someone who lives with MS.

 

We're also talking about the results of the very first clinical trial to demonstrate a slowing in the progression of disability in secondary progressive MS. We'll tell you about a new Canadian study that shows a clear connection between depression and physical disability in MS. And we'll talk about the kind of information that California's new prescription drug price transparency bill is revealing.
