I was playing this video next to my husband/care partner, and when you got to Ocrevus (the treatment I'm on) said "we murder the friends" he almost choked on his coffee from laughter. Keep it up Dr. Boster :)
My hope is that in the near future we wont need any of these drugs and stem cell therapy will be more affordable and is researched to the point where its a guaranteed fix. Sooner rather than later and we can banish this horrible affliction for good.
Explains why Tysabri was doing so well for me. I felt better on it. Biggest mistake i made leaving it. Ocrevus is great but i still feel like crap on it. more fatigued for sure.

Thanks for your work! I can't begin to express how much your channel has added to my knowledge base and empowered me to be my own best advocate! Any chance you could do an update or informative video on Ofatumumab?
This is the only information film about. MS that my oldest brother was willing to listen to, cause it was super informative in under 5 minutes. Thanks for improving family relations.
Helpful! One day, I'd love to hear an explanation of how/why certain of these drugs create a PML risk, and what the mechanism is for that. Take care, I hope you are well!
Loved this one and your explanation in analogies. Easy to understand. My med built a brick house. This is a keeper, especially when thinking about switching meds. Great reference. Thanks & Kudos.
Thank you Dr B. This made the actions of the MS medication easy to understand and you used fun analogues to make even more understandable. Keep up the good work.
A fb friend dxd with ms was told by her dr he’d wait on meds until she was having vision problems or foot drag. I said she should watch your videos I also found out he’s my neuro too
Hi Dr B. Nice video.. Can you do a video about the relation between estrogen and MS? In your experience ... Is there a relation between fertile years, perimenopause, menopause and MS activity?
This is excellent, thank you! IJust had my 3rd round of Ocrevus. I feel increasingly confident in this one. I get an itchy throat during infusion. Not painful or anything, just wondering what that's about? It stops immediately at the end of infusion.
Great explanation of how these work! Do the DMTs not specifically mentioned work in the same manner as other’s like it? This is still something on my list to discuss again at my next appointment end of summer. Thx for making these videos! They’ve been a huge help to me since you started!! 🤗❤️❤️
Great video!! Two questions (1) How does a virus get into the brain to cause PML with Tysabri? and (2) if someone takes one of the b-cell killers, how do the T cells know when to fight things like the common cold or general infections?
That was good ,I learnt something new. Thanks you, wish I had seen this before I made my choice of lemtrada as I had no understanding of the different drugs on the market.
Lets check out Dr.Aaron B ooh I Love him, Perparing mind set for getting blood actually done. Finshed b-feeding so options opened 🤔 Oh My Word. Perfect timing! for a new medication. O something. Lets start watching! Thank you!!
Thanks so much for this video Dr B It was really helpful. My question is why the medical community does not generally use multiple medications in combination at the same time given that they each have different functions? For example, I understand why you wouldn't bother building a straw house if you were building a brick house but why not strengthen the barrier to the central unit as well as killing the friends who egg the kids on to fight as well as building a straw house? Not doing so, to me, seems like the equivalent of offering someone the third best treatment for their illness as a starting point. Which, of course, has been standard practice in MS for far too long. Thank you again!
It great information about the treatment available. My only question is what is the best treatment for a person with xyz as opposed to a person who is showing symptoms abc? Is there a better treatment for xyz symptoms or are the all very similar in doing the same thing albeit in a different way.
I really wants to know the nutrition related to types of meds Currently I take Avonex med. I have its side effects including general pain in my body and some flu-like symptoms. The big dilemma I faced these days. When I care about the food - quitting out of sugar specifically and junk food - the side effects disappear amazingly.Does it really matter or those feelings just kind of placebo effect? .Also, I want to read more about Avonex and how it works? Do you suggest any book that disscuss in details the immune system and the effect of immunomudlatory drugs?
I have the same reaction to sugar, I'm mostly fine when I don't take any, and as soon as I eat it back I start having pain. I'm not on Avonex but I think sugar has a big impact on inflammation in the body. I also think that's why the Whals protocol or all those who claim to have "cured" MS with diet think it works, because quitting completely with sugar and refined carbs must surely have and anti-inflammatory effect.
I'm currently awaiting my second round of Lemtrada. I should have had this in February but unfortunately it has been delayed due to Covid. My neurologist has stated that it is possible for people to only have 1 round. To be honest I've been doing great since Round 1. I've also heard that you should aim to have the two rounds within 18 months of eachother. I'm concerned that is coming up in just a few weeks for me. Any advice? I would normally just wait it out but I'm desperate to start trying for a family.
Hi , I'm currently in a limbo type situation with what medication I want to use, I was on Ocrevus for 6 months ago but I also started reading alot of published research that explained alot of negative type of research about this drug , like how it's kind of more of a"price tag " more than a great drug ! So my question is what in theory of course would be the most Safe medication? Because I see alot of negative outcomes, potentially for long term usage of this drug. I have a meeting with my neurologist soon and his personal RN said that my research does bring up alot of potential concerns so much so that she wasnt comfortable treating me at that time until I spoke to the DR. . She said there were alot of treatments. I'm kind of wondering which would be the most effective with the least immune deficiency. Rn I'm having aches , and small numbess so obviously, I need something soon ,just a little nervous ,on my decision. I'm not asking for anything but some guidance no advice or decision, I know that's against , z,"YOU TUBE" RULES.LOL THANKS .
Do these drugs make you tired all the time? Also want to ask as I have a friend who has MS and using amongst other drugs rivotril. He's becoming dependent and emotionally blackmailing his wife. Any idea what we can do please?
I was playing this video next to my husband/care partner, and when you got to Ocrevus (the treatment I'm on) said "we murder the friends" he almost choked on his coffee from laughter.
Keep it up Dr. Boster :)
"it has the hots for your brain" that is the most beautifully romantic way to explain MS. Thank you! My white blood cells are feeling frisky 😂
My hope is that in the near future we wont need any of these drugs and stem cell therapy will be more affordable and is researched to the point where its a guaranteed fix. Sooner rather than later and we can banish this horrible affliction for good.
Explains why Tysabri was doing so well for me. I felt better on it. Biggest mistake i made leaving it. Ocrevus is great but i still feel like crap on it. more fatigued for sure.
One day I'm going to figure out how to come to you for all my ms related questions and concerns. New goal added to my bucket list.
Dear doctor Aaron,

Thank you for the quick explanation of how all these drugs work. You always make it easy for everyone to understand. 👏👏👍

You’re welcome! Thanks for the supportive words Ted!
Another AWESOME video Doctor Boster!
A fb friend dxd with ms was told by her dr he’d wait on meds until she was having vision problems or foot drag. I said she should watch your videos I also found out he’s my neuro too
Gm doctor, you are the absolute best..thank you for helping me with my M.S...I learn so much from you..
Nice video...very impressed you could do this in 5 minutes.
It was a great explanation of the choices we have. It is good timing before I visit my Dr for a new drug.
Your an amazing human. The way you break it down and explain things is absolutely amazing and very appreciated!!
Wow, thank you!
Couldn't Agree More!!! 1000000000%
This is so helpful! You deepened my understanding about each of these.
Hi Dr B. Nice video..
Can you do a video about the relation between estrogen and MS?
In your experience ... Is there a relation between fertile years, perimenopause, menopause and MS activity?
Have a great week Dr. B;-)
This is excellent, thank you! IJust had my 3rd round of Ocrevus. I feel increasingly confident in this one. I get an itchy throat during infusion. Not painful or anything, just wondering what that's about? It stops immediately at the end of infusion.
You sir are an amazing doctor. I really wish you were my doctor. You are are what us Boston people say wicked smaaht 😂
Once again a great video. Thank you.

Great, well done 😊💕, stay safe
cool video it was really good
TY!
It great information about the treatment available. My only question is what is the best treatment for a person with xyz as opposed to a person who is showing symptoms abc?
Is there a better treatment for xyz symptoms or are the all very similar in doing the same thing albeit in a different way.
Great quick and dirty explanation!
Glad you liked it!!
Nice video thanks doc. What are your thoughts on compound ATA188
Ha-ha, thank you :) Been using Interferone for 7 years, still was not sure how this medicine actually works.
Could you look into the recent research on ursolic acid for remyelination and provide us with some feedback on your thoughts?
Great information! What about Mavenclad? What group does that fall into.
I included it. It's in the last group discussed
This is a great video... can you talk about Zeposia?
I really wants to know the nutrition related to types of meds

it's a stupid question but please accept it
why we don't use all those medications together in the same time?
