The MS Caregiver Conundrum

著者: Jon Strum
  • サマリー

  • The progressive and long-term nature of MS means that MS caregivers take on a responsibility that increases over time and can last for decades. Research has shown that this contribution often comes at an unacceptably high cost, as caregivers themselves face a significantly increased risk of reduced health and well-being. The MS Caregiver Conundrum, a special podcast series produced by RealTalk MS, features intimate audio portraits that illustrate the often overlooked role that MS caregivers play. We'll call out systemic inequities as well as best practices in caregiving while highlighting valuable caregiving resources and examining the public policy issues that impact caregivers. And we'll raise up the heroes – our own friends, family, and neighbors -- who quietly wake each day to walk a tightrope without a net, focused on caring for a loved one living with MS.

    Joining me to talk about this extraordinary service that many MS caregivers may not even be aware of are MS Navigators David LaRue and Suzanne Bachman.
