#21 Medications

MS medications do the heavy lifting when it comes to slowing the disease and easing symptoms. But there's a whole side to them your neurologist rarely has time to mention - and it goes beyond just side effects.

Tune in as we walk through the main types of MS medication, and the everyday lifestyle factors that quietly come with them.
