#27 New MS Treatment Updates! (RapidFire Q&A)
Is MS over-diagnosed?
What is the MS Hug?
Are eye symptoms normal?
Is head trauma linked to MS?
What new treatments have emerged recently?
To cap off our MS series of episodes, we thought it might be fun to try something slightly different and make a "RapidFire Q&A" episode based on questions we've received from you!
