Four top experts provide a plan to help prevent the Parkinson's pandemic, improve care and treatment, and end the silence associated with this devastating disease

Brain diseases are now the world's leading source of disability. The fastest growing of these is Parkinson's: the number of people with Parkinson's doubled to over 6 million over the last 25 years and is projected to double again by 2040. Harmful pesticides known to cause Parkinson's proliferate, many people remain undiagnosed and untreated, research funding stagnates, and the most effective treatment is now a half century old.

In Ending Parkinson's Disease, four leading doctors and advocates offer a bold but actionable pact to prevent, advocate for, care for, and treat one of the great health challenges of our time. This is a critical guide for anyone who has or could be touched by this disease.

The ABN guidelines are suggesting that most high efficacy DMTs are treated the same. The MS Academy hosted a debate on 31 March 2020 to discuss whether ocrelizumab and cladribine should be treated in the same way as alemtuzumab in terms of risk of #COVID19.

How MS nurses/practitioners can best care for their patients, their colleagues and themselves

Video and slides available here: https://multiplesclerosisacademy.org/2020/04/30/webinar-ms-nurses-practitioners-mind-health-in-times-of-crisis/

Jo Johnson, consultant neuropsychologist and author of ‘Surviving Me’ presented a valuable webinar for professionals alongside Ruth Stross, MS Nurse Specialist. 

Presenting practical ideas and exercises for achieving and maintaining a good level of ‘mind health’, over thirty MS specialist nurses and similar practitioners attended the live webinar. 

Jo asserts that knowing your personal values makes you far more capable of managing a whole range of physical and mental challenges in times of crisis, and that actioning your values helps move you towards who you want to me. Essentially, aligning your values and who you are (your essence) and what you do (your form). 

Jo advocates considering the two ‘gears of the mind’, and notes that both gears are important, and both are needed in different scenarios. 
She highlights that ‘thinking gear’ is essential for thinking things through, planning, remembering, and such. However, by staying in it all of the time, that can lead to stress, anxiety and sleeplessness. Often our ‘thinking gear’ can take us away from our values and the actions we want to take to be more ourselves. 

‘Sensing gear’ is when we are in the present, experiencing our current situation, calling on our senses, and just ‘being’. When we are in ‘sensing gear’ we notice our thoughts, notice how we feel, and can make better choices about what we do as a result of them. Learning to get back into ‘sensing gear’ more often allows us to make choices that take us further towards the person we want to be, or actions that are more in line with our values.

– Jo Johnson, Consultant Neuropsychologist, Mind Your Head

There has been a very positive outcome from ‘prehabilitation’ before an operation: a preventative strength-training style programme designed to prevent injuries before they can occur.
We know that a large number of our population will be infected with coronavirus in an effort to develop herd immunity, and so preparing our bodies and minds to experience that is key to managing that.
This webinar will look at the modifiable risk factors for severe COVID-19 and consider ways of reducing personal risk.
