Will living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) be better in 2025? Are we fortunate to be living with MS at this time? In this video I share a bit of the history of MS including how Jean Martin Charcot first named MS. Changes to the way MS is diagnosed from the Schumacher Criteria, to the Poser Criteria, to the McDonald Criteria (including changes implemented in 2024). How neuroplasticity can help us including physical therapy (and some free resources from Dr. Gretchen Hawley, The MS Gym, and MS Workouts). What recent research shows when it comes to managing MS symptoms with diet and lifestyle changes. There is also some exciting research ongoing that is promising including the Octopus Trials, BTK inhibitors, and PIPE-307. There is reason to be optimistic!
