Let’s talk about symptoms and well-being in progressive MS

Facebook Live event – 23 January 2020, 11am (Eastern Time) / 4pm (Greenwich Mean Time)

There is an urgent, worldwide need for life-changing solutions for people affected by progressive MS.  The International Progressive MS Alliance is working to answer that need, rallying the global community in an unprecedented collaboration of MS organizations, researchers, healthcare professionals, pharmaceutical companies, trusts, foundations, donors and people affected by MS.  The MS International Federation is proud to be a founding member of the Progressive MS Alliance.

Join us as we gather leading experts in symptom management and well-being to discuss the state of progressive MS research and treatment in fatigue, mobility, pain management and cognition.  Participants will also learn ways to positively impact health now.

He will be joined by the following experts in rehabilitation and well-being:

• Professor Dawn Ehde, Rehabilitation Medicine, University of Washington, United States
