Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I was diagnosed a few months ago, but that your channel has been a real comfort. Thank you for the work that you do.
I saw my neurologist or his pa's for years. My brain mri indicated MS but at each visit i was told that my symptoms were not MS. My complaints for years have been various pains, horrendous migraines which doctor was able to control with Cambia up until the last 2 years when switched to generic. Horrible muscle cramps throughout my body and loss of memory. I have been told for years, every six months, that these symptoms were not MS symptoms. Then in late 2023 after my most recent MRI, with an increase in brain lesions that i had ms at age 60. Symptoms started in my late teens. The PA sent me home with a few treatment options to consider and paperwork for some blood work. Couple of weeks later i received a call requesting i come in immediately to his office. It scarred me thinking the blood test showed something alarming. I made my husband go to the appointment with me only to be asked which medication i had chosen. I was mad at the urgency of this appointment. I said, why would I take any of these medications for MS if my symptoms aren't from MS. I explained that I didn't have anything new other than more brain damage so why should I take these medications? I left the office and so far i haven't returned. So now i am having 2 new symptoms, twitching left eye and right forearm near the elbow. I find your videos and it sounds like my original symptoms are from MS. At each visit they were adamant that weekness should be the main symptom, not pain or muscle cramps, memory issues. I need a new doctor. I'm so upset that for years they downplayed my symptoms which caused me to seek many other doctors, rheumatologist who also found slight abnormalities like mixed connective tissue disease or unspecified tissue disease or something like that. Wow at the runaround I've experienced. Thank you for your videos. I look forward to watching more of them. Do you do televisits? Thanks, Frustrated in California
This style of videos is awesome. It is like a daily dose of knowledge. It is short so everyone can watch it and as you say, all facts, straight to the point!
Thank you for sharing! My Nuroligist has had me on many of the supplements you mentioned for years...D3, B12, B complex, Flaxseed, multivitamin, and recently magnesium gummies. All following a similar track as you echo in your channel. I have learned the hard way to ask 3+ or listen to and ask for views before changing anything without getting cominality in direction. Never just taking one source. Thank you for your views and guidance.
Thank you for all you have educated us in MS. I have following you since in while you were attending OSU- Gahanna. 😉 stay safe on your big bike ride in Canada!
❤ Great Q&A session as always. I wish Doctors would stop telling people to stop DMD’s after 60…🤌🏻 There are pros/ cons to everything and everyone is different. Unless I’m dying… try n fix me. #Sharingiscaring
I’ve commented a few times about Marburg/ Fulminate MS. Doesn’t seem like you have a video on that yet. My brother just barely survived with that diagnosis and is in rehab now. Could you do a video on that? Love your videos! Thanks!
Also, how’s this for lucky - in my family, all the females have autoimmune diseases. My mother has been diagnosed with pemphigus vulgaris, and both my sister and I have been diagnosed with relapsing remitting Multiple Sclerosis. Crappy, hey?
Great video! Love this format. Follow-up question on the menopause estradiol patch recommendation. Why don't you recommend progesterone? I believe the progestins used in the WHI study are not recommended but the bio-identical micronized progesterone is recommend now. In addition to uterine protection, I have read progesterone is believed to have neuroprotective, promyelinating, and anti-inflammatory effects in the nervous system. Do you have any thoughts on the role of progesterone in the brain/nervous system?
Thank you doctor for a great session! For the next time , would you please not using abbreviation, insted use a full name of medication and supplements , Thanks a lot!
Great room Doctor Boster,My question is -Do you think Dimethyl Fumarate(240 MG)effective,Im takeing 2 pills a day along with a multivitamin and 75 MCG a day
I didn't have any issues with Ocrevus. However, I was looking for something to help with mobility. I've tried Ampyra, and I'm not sure if it's that I didn't stay on it long enough or what, but I didn't see any improvements. 😔 still looking for answers. It's leg that's weak. Making it hard for me to get around. Thanks for the great info as always doc.
Great video. Thank you. What form of magnesium is best to use? I take 250 magnesium oxide daily but since I also have a multitude of other issues, doctors refer me as complex 😅, one issue being a high toned pelvic floor where the muscles, mostly in the rectal area don’t like to relax, anything that makes my stool too hard or soft I have the hardest time to get out so I while I’ve wanted to try other forms of magnesium to see if it would help with my pelvic floor muscles, other muscles throughout my body getting sore/tensing up, I’ve been hesitant to do so. I don’t know if this added info is helpful or not for the type of magnesium that would be helpful or not but I also have a bad case raynauds, erythromyelgia (I’m not fully convinced on that one)(hands are consistently red or purple depending on my body’s temp) heat tolerance which wasn’t an issue before (use to be just cold) got worse over the past year to where the sun will turn my hands red also heat now tenses my pelvic floor muscles as well. As well as when my pelvic floor is tense it does affect my gut motility. Along with other issues I have. I like to say I’m a Dr. House case. 😂 Was dx with ppms just over a year ago. My apologies for rambling. I have many issues going on at once but I’ve always been curious to what type of magnesium works best. I already take a vitamin d supplement, is it true it’s best to take those both with I believe it’s vitamin K as well? Thank you for any info you can provide.
Thank you for this video. I have a question, I have been scrolling on the ShiftMS app and there is lots of post regarding amalgam fillings. Is there any proven link between MS and amalgam fillings? Thank you.
Thanks Dr Boster! What’s up with pipe 307? Any idea for how long until we will have an answer? Also I’m in Texas and my doctor can’t write me a script for cannabis. All that crap at the gas station is loaded with pesticides (lack of oversight). Any ideas?
Thanks doc!. Question for you or anyone who knows. I'm 59 with SPMS and chronic pain. Is there a strain of any cannabis product that can reduce the pain without making balance and walking worse? Thanks.
Hello doc what is your opinion on multiple sclerosis and viruses I recently listened to a video of two doctors talking about military people having their blood drawn out before and after service to compare and check for viruses. And from what I remember hearing him saying was basically Ms that they found was caused by a virus what's your total input on that one
I’m still in the process of deciding what medication I should go for. My neurologist has suggested BRIUMVI I did ask for other medication and suggested Tecfidera (dimethyl fumarate I’m still stuck on what to go for
you always refer to attacks. what about symptoms that start and never go away. Im 59, on a dmt (ocrevarus) diagnosed 1 yr ago, have had the same symptom issues fir 3 yrs, they have never gone away. no new spots on mri but ongoing symptoms that are getting worse. I dont mind taking to dmt, but why bother? things just keep getting worse
I am a Gulf War Veteran who suffers from Gulf War Illness. Numerous symptoms of GWI are symptoms of MS. To include swollen optic nerves. I have no lesions. Just curious if you have ever treated or encountered Gulf War Veterans with MS symptoms. I am really asking do I possibly have MS or does GWI memic MS?
I've been in recovery almost 7 years now and I really want the benefits of medical Marijuana again. How can I do that without losing my sobriety date??
I was diagnosed a year ago and now have been diagnosed with the pcos. Where I’m at there is no Ms specialist. The ob wants to put me on birth control. I have been on bc one time and it was horrible what do you suggest.
I'd like to just ask: with RRMS can you have persistent symptoms between attacks? I've not being officially diagnosed yet but I have demyelination on my MRI head scan classic for ms. My only symptoms are mild persistent dizziness (3 month) and very mild reduced sensation patch at the back of my hand that wax and wains daily (2 month). I don't recall a specific "attack" but these came on suddenly and haven't gone away. I'm 38 and currently have no other issues. Thank you in advance.
I want to know if it’s a good idea to ride a bicycle to improve your balance. I have MS and my worst symptom is lack of balance. It’s very, very annoying and I want to do something to improve my balance.
Hi doctor, I need ur help..... please guide me. I was Diagnosed with ms in January 2024 (attack of optic neuritis) After my recovery from optic neuritis.... i started taking dimethyl fumurate (MS240) its available in india. But i got frequent diarrhea and vomiting issues. Then i shifted to dimethyl fumurate (dyfira) (same salt but different brand) The Frequency of diarrhea has reduced but i still get it. And its hindering my daily life. Without antibiotics it sometimes gets worse. I have discussed with other ms pateint who are on dimethyl fumurate..... but they dont have this issue.. Am i doing something wrong which is causing these issues.??? Please guide me.... whether i should change my medicine. Or do something which can help me to cope with diarrhea. If change... then which medicine or injections are best?? Optic neuritis was the only attack that i got... so would this be considered as RRMS or clinically isolated ms??
Is it possible to have MS and no evidence of lessions in the MRI in early stages? All my symptoms and neurological exams point to MS but the MRI has no sign of MS lessions. Thank you very much. Mireia, from Spain
is it wrong to have hope with this disease? is it forlorn to hope there can be improvements? i dont want to waste any time if its a forgone conclusion 😢

Thank you doctor for a great session! For the next time , would you please not using abbreviation, insted use a full name of medication and supplements , Thanks a lot!
Lessin my fatigue at the hallow cand and fell awful
Great room Doctor Boster,My question is -Do you think Dimethyl Fumarate(240 MG)effective,Im takeing 2 pills a day along with a multivitamin and 75 MCG a day
I took it and hated it. I had a relapse. I had bad side effects like stomach pain and severe flushing. IMO ocrevus is much better. I'm taking that now
Curious what kind of Magnesium you recommend.
I didn't have any issues with Ocrevus. However, I was looking for something to help with mobility. I've tried Ampyra, and I'm not sure if it's that I didn't stay on it long enough or what, but I didn't see any improvements. 😔 still looking for answers. It's leg that's weak.

Do you have any videos that discuss Briumvi?
Hi Doc is your Discord still Active as the link in the description is invalid. thank you
You said in a previous video that 100% of people with MS had mono, but I've never had mono and I was diagnosed with a mess December 6, 2023
Prove it. I'm just saying. They think it's a maladaptive immune response in relation to the specific virus that can cause mononucleosis
Thank you for this video. I have a question, I have been scrolling on the ShiftMS app and there is lots of post regarding amalgam fillings. Is there any proven link between MS and amalgam fillings? Thank you.
Hi, Dr. Boster, when you say no sugar, do you mean refined sugar, like baked goods? Or do you also include fruits?
Dr Boster would never tell you not to eat fruit. Plenty of benefits like vitamins and fiber
Thank you for your advice! My question is it safe to eat less meat while anemic and having MS?
Thanks Dr Boster! What’s up with pipe 307? Any idea for how long until we will have an answer? Also I’m in Texas and my doctor can’t write me a script for cannabis. All that crap at the gas station is loaded with pesticides (lack of oversight). Any ideas?
Please comment on ocrevus zunovo

Thanks doc!. Question for you or anyone who knows. I'm 59 with SPMS and chronic pain. Is there a strain of any cannabis product that can reduce the pain without making balance and walking worse? Thanks.
