Hi Dr. B, This is Vickie from Cocoa, Florida. Long time since I commented. Sorry. Love your shows. I watch them frequently. My issue is too long for a comment. The short story is that I am having problems with the local neurologist in my area. They won't order an MRI. I haven't had one since I was removed from Tecfidera due to a positive JCV. At that same time the 4 good neurologist here left the area or quit. That was 4m4 yrs after I was diagnosed with RRMS at age 55. The 2 remaining neurologist here said I don't have it. Even with numerous positive tests, along with many positive increasing lesions on my yearly or less MRI's. I gave up and quit trying to see one. My current primary care ( just met her a few days ago) is questioning my MS dx as well. She is treating me as if I am either crazy or a hypochondriac. I think she is gas lightning me. This has been a serious problem for me for years. I can't afford to go to doctors after doctors. I am 66, tired, frustrated, a widow after 40 awesome yrs (he passed January 18,2021). I lost everything. On top of struggling with my physician issue's. I just don't know what to do. Any ideas? I have not had any treatments or help with my RRMS since I was removed from Tecfidera. Sorry for all this. I am at my wits end. Thanks, Vickie Knox, 12/01/2024 12:27 am
i am cracking up with laughter after listening to your explanation to try and help others understand MS fatigue, as it is my experience and then tears of validation. I really truly appreciate you sharing your knowledge with me and anyone who watches. I've been living with MS for 25+ years and it's so refreshing to listen to you explain from what is MS and on, it's like I'm listening to my own journey with the disease. Thank you thank you.
I was itching like crazy at church, and a homeless man sitting next to me got scared, and thought I had body lice. He quickly got up, and moved to another seat. It was kind of funny.
My deceased sons former doctor said she never heard of being able to get chicken pox more than once. My son had chicken pox several times, and she could not understand it. She is the doctor who diagnosed him.😮
I was diagnosed 4 years ago and they started me on Tysabri in 4 months. Unfortunately, some of my original symptoms stuck with me BUT, no new lesions or flares. I pray it keeps working!
I have numerous brain lesions, and I am sure that I now have numerous lesions on my spinal cord, but have not had an MRI on my spinal cord for many years. No MS neurologist will accept my Insurance, and my former neurologist died from cancer. I have RRMS.😢
You rocked it! I am on my 5th therapy since diagnosed (approximately 12 years ago). I am extremely active in my multiple sclerosis community (Minneapolis and surrounding areas) and have improved VASTLY over the years, particularly since Lemtrada three-ish years ago. I, on my own I have massively researched MS from around the public information around the world, from universities/doctors/conventions/etc. I went from an EDSS score of 7 to a 2.5. People frequently ask me how, and I’ve been telling them more, or less what is in this video! Thank you for a link I can share, and your incomparable way of explaining it! Question: When are you coming to Minneapolis, Minnesota? (and if you are, can I help you with suggestions for making it a fantastic success?) Again, you rock! Shannon
The improvement from an EDSS of 7 to 2.5 is incredible. May I know how you were able to achieve it. I'm 25 (SPMS) with an EDSS of 6.5, currently on Rituximab.
Aditya Kumar Sahni definitely the alemtuzumab (Lemtrada) helped considerably, in conjunction with that I’ve completely changed how I eat, do stretching and yoga most days, lost weight and work on my balance via exercise and physical therapy. As far as “diet” not really a “diet” but changing what I eat. Basically the food pyramid, switching refined foods to unrefined (switching to brown rice/flour verses white rice/flour) eating more fiber, drinking 90ounces of water a day, following primarily the Mediterranean Diet.
The fatige reminds me of narcolepsy. I have fallen asleep many times, and have been banned from a Starbucks location for having MS fatigue, iron deficiency, and low hemoglobin. The barista called police on me, and took out a NO TRESPASSING against me even though I was a good customer. I could not find an attorney to take my case because I was not a Starbucks employee.😮.
Howdy, Dr Aaron , I have Ms, and i have disease 2014,42 year old, I, m oldest, my daughter encouraged me to. She was in Colentina hospital for me, visit, in therapy, ATI, SHE was in the hospital middle, without Despina I died, thank, greetings, and congratulations, you make many more for me. I, m very fortunate, because I know it you. You are the best doctor in Ohio, my idol was born in Ohio, I love Ohio. He is rock singer., have a goodnight
My supervisor has a cousin that smokes pot. So though it subsides pain, wouldn't that run parallel with smoking cigarettes speeding up the process and making it worse?
Hi, Dr Boster, I have MS, I Hava a friend, I have a both sick, I have MS, he have MS, I make copaxone, he make Tysabri one injection in one month, Jesus
I feel like I need to have a copay for all the information he’s given me. Way more then my local neuro!!!!😂😂
