I just fired a neuro for exactly the same thing. I am still having symptoms. I don't understand why just because I'm 60, that she wants to stop all treatments.
Dr B..thank you so much for taking the time to make these wonderful live chats! I try to never miss them as I learn so much. My daughter, who has ms, is your patient, and my whole family are grateful for you and your dedication!
Howdy Dr. B. I was scheduled to see you Oct 8 but, due to current events at home, had to reschedule. I am having some personality symptoms that have caused problems with my kids and husband. They say I've recently seemed to respond in a rude or aggressive manner, interrupting, etc . I would like to know if you could explain the mood/personality/cognitive effects of a brain with multiple lesions covering all brain areas and 25 years with no treatment. Of all the things that MS has cost me, losing my family is its cruelest one. I know that getting to you is priority #1 and I'm trying but I think that you are the only one who can help me show my family that these are symptoms possible with MS. I've shown them your videos but they tell me that I'm just not trying hard enough. Please, can you share something to explain this symptom? Thank you Dr. B, looking forward to seeing you in clinic.
Omg! I really wish you were my neurologist! You’re so proactive and reactive! Mine certainly is not!! I had breakthrough on Tysabri and now I can barely walk but he reckons I’m fine just staying on the Tysabri! Didn’t even offer me a B cell depleter! Wants me to see a professor of neurology to talk about aHSCT!!! I don’t want that and I told him so! NOTHING! I think you would have moved me on to some other high efficacy DMT! Jeez! Here in the uk they’re just sticking with the rivers and the lakes that they’re used to…. 🤦🏻♀️ thanks doctor B! You’re the very best of them! ❤️
Thanks so much for this talk and I really appreciate you sharing your own experience with antidepressants. I hope it helps people feel more comfortable seeking help, or even myself if the time comes. I wish I had more knowledge about OBS if that's what you're using, we still need a little bit more volume on the gain of your recording. Thanks again.
I'm so bummed I missed this live. I wanted to ask you about pain in the tongue. You started to talk about it in one of your "shorts" 2 days ago and it abruptly ended, and got cut off. Is there more to that video? I was hoping for more info about tongue pain as I suffer with it and neither my MS neuro or family doctor know what to do about it. It is so painful it drives me to suicidal thoughts.
cadence shoes for foot drop. I saw these mentioned in a MS group. Quite a few good honest thoughts on them. I know your not really trying to help advertise or push items for sale, but can you give us any thoughts on these shoes?
I have ms n on rebiff 44 Still alot of balance issues, burning of feet,left leg weakness n fatigue But i also have degenerative disease of spine...could this be also the problemwhy these issues are not resolved Could an operation be done if the surgeon suggests it?
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 FL ;( I am late ⏰ but here now and excited to hear you speak and bless all of us with your knowledge Dr. Boster‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ GOD BLESS YOU for being this beyond PHENOMENAL MS Neurologist that I and many others are so grateful for all you do for us that there’s no words to describe all of our most sincere gratitude!!!! Your the BEST‼️‼️‼️
Sorry I missed the live! Great questions! Would it be fair to say that MRI is good at measuring RAW and that we don’t currently have a way to accurately and objectively measure PIRA other than what patients say they are doing worse? Will these new up and coming blood tests also help show PIRA? Could these up and coming blood tests be a good measure in clinical trials for progressive MS?
Thank you Dr. Boster!

Hearing Dr. Boster say some doctors wouldn't want to treat someone who is 65 gave me chills. I wasn't diagnosed until I was 64.
I just fired a neuro for exactly the same thing. I am still having symptoms. I don't understand why just because I'm 60, that she wants to stop all treatments.

Thank you for this question. My family has said my personality is very negative now.

awesome as always :)
Are btk inhibitors immune suppressing? Are there any drugs being developed or trialled that just attack ebv?
Great information Doc, thank you for answering all these great questions.
