Thank you - will do 👍🙂🔥🔥🔥🔥
Any info would be great. I don't know what leukoencephalopathy means. Anything not well known is appreciated.
Watching this video should be a requirement for anyone who has just been diagnosed with MS, it contains a tremendous amount of practical and useful information, wish I had seen a video like this, when I was diagnosed with MS 13 years ago.
Totally agree when I was diagnosed 20 odd years ago, I only knew MS from the movie about Annette Funichello, so basically nothing, the doctor and my family kept telling me it was no big deal.
Totally agree. When I was diagnosed 30 odd yes ago, I didn’t know anything about it except that all the older people around me kind of turned weird when I told them I was diagnosed. Apparently they had a story in their head that I would become a vegetable of some sort. (I’m exaggerating, but they DID treat me different!) My neurologist seemed to be a Eeyore who was just waiting to see how bad it would get. Meanwhile, I kept riding my bike and walking everywhere and playing music and I quit smoking. It took this long for me to start a DMT but that’s because they are better now.
SO Agree!!
I absolutely agree 100%. I wish that I'd have known about this doctor & his video series when I was diagnosed w/MS in 2011....... 💯💯💯💯
I'd like to say thank you, you've made me realise I'm doing most of the things I should be doing to help myself. I did have RR MS and was diagnosed as progressive a couple of months ago. I mountain bike 2-3 times a week and this is great exercise and mindfulness. You've also made me realise that I need to be honest with my neurologist and ask for help/support as I don't tend to do this. Thank you for being a fantastic Neurologist and explaining everything in layman's terms, keep up the good work x
1. Don't smoke stuff
2. Exercise as part of your lifestyle: balance, core strengthening, limb flexibility, and cardiovascular endurance
3. Eat smart: drink more water, supplement vitamin D3, and avoid fast-food
4. Daily mindfulness: practice breathing
5. Take the most effective and comfortable disease-modifying therapy
Work outside in the sun a lot , make your work as hard as you can. I have a vending company and I used to park my truck as far away from the location. Everybody would tell me to park closer but I didn’t. I’m parked as far away as I could so I can get the most amount ofphysical activity since I had to work and be sick I’m 63 still working first symptoms 24
I've never been treated for my M.S. and have battled over and over for medicaid and tried disability. So for 16 years I've just suffered. I go to e.r when I go paralyzed they do steroids and then send me on my way. 5 times I've relearned to walk on my own at home. But I live in excruciating pain every day of my life amongst a million other things. I have no life. I really enjoy watching these videos because yt is the only education I get as well as getting answers to questions I have but no doctor to ask. I really appreciate the time taken to put out these informative videos. ❤
I am just like you...I have had it for 30 years but we cannot give up
You have ms for 16 yrs and never had any treatment? Was it your choice to never get any treatment at all?
@@chaisroom6631Are you on treatment?
Get an appointment with a neurologist! Treatment earlier than later will keep you from getting worse. Medicaid won't help unless a doctor says to. Having a neuro will help with all that.
Living with the pain is something we have to learn to live with it's horrible. I have been in M S pain FOR OVER 30 YEARS. I'm 64 now I've just about had enough. But I'm strong like you I will keep going
I have a son with Autism. I need to be able to help him for as long as possible.
When I wake up in the morning, I feel groggy, but listening attentively to this video boosted my moxie and motivated me to shoot past this ailment and smile! Knowing that I'm not alone makes me feel okay with this. 😌
Right on! #StrongerTogether!
I just watched a video about how a physician HEALED himself from MS. And he is now healing others with MS. He spoke of a book he picked up during his sickness by a professor, and it spoke of all MS patients being intolerant of meat fats. None can have dairy, or meat fats. They also need to minimize saturated fats, so they cannot have meals with that, such as coconut oils, for example. He said the diet should be whole foods, plant based, zero meats, zero animal fats, no dairy. But seafoods are allowed. The doctor said this is how he has healed, via diet.
Thank you Doc for helping the MS community worldwide.
Be 🙏 well
The best 21:53 minutes, I have spent on TH-cam in a long time. It is so on point and helpful. Thank you Aaron. From over the pond.
Thank you for watching @ljm!
I wish I had you as my doctor my doctor never explained any of this and now I understand it all because of you. Your an ANGEL 😇 God bless and thank you.
This is what I wish I had been given or told when I was originally diagnosed with MS. 8.5 years in and I’m learning most of this from watching your videos. Thank you.
How are you now?
follow whal's protocol and ms will go
Thank you. A must watch for anyone recently diagnosed.
I wish my Neurologist was this honest and informative when I was diagnosed back in 2010. I was handed a pamphlet and sent on my way 😢
Imagine we had to go through MS without you sharing your knowledge with us. Nobody really compares and makes it easily understandable like you. Because of you i tell my nero what to do, not the other way around 😂
agree,
This moment is my first ever time finding this brother..
Very glad to have
Been 10yrs official now
Not on any meds
They knocked me out too much and i thought, I've gotta see if it is any different without the meds..
Hmmmm - feel So Much better
Been 6yrs since i haven't touched them.
Yes, body in pain most days
But i no longer have a walker
Haven't fallen once
Am So Much more clearer
Just wanted to share with you all my brothers and sisters.
Peace and kindness, andria in australia 🌿
Goal setting at 74 is very different than younger. The necessity of caring for my handicapped daughter is on that list. My husband recently died making me feel very vulnerable. While I have achieved NETA, recent events leave me gasping.
I was diagnosed in 2017. I met with my neurologist regularly. As I have had symptoms I reported them to him. He never acknowledged any of my reported changing or new symptoms as an attack.
I’m realizing I must be a stronger advocate.
My neurologist said the treatment for ms can be worse than no treatment, im taking vitamin D ,lionsmane and magnesium plus b1 not on any other treatment was diagnosed in 2019 with extensive dyemylation.
How are you doing? Is it creating any issue in daily life ?
Hi
How are you doing with this treatment plan?
What are your current symptoms etc? Would love to hear more of your experience?
Thanks
I am newly diagnosed and frightened! You helped me to calm myself with knowing this is not a death sentence. Thank you!
Same here. Got the diagnosis 2 days ago and am overwhelmed. I couldn't think of questions to ask.
I have MS. Get out of the US, and watch your body heal
I’m bloody vex mate 😂 I’m floating between acceptance and anger
I have MS and teach leadership, starting this fight with “why” is important. Write down those goals!
Amen!
You’re a blessing to us MSers
Wow Dr Boster, thank you! My brother with untreated MS has just come to live with us. He appears not to care about anything. He is struggling to walk and seems to be experiencing cognitive symptoms. He is intelligent and highly qualified, but after a lifetime of good earning arrived penniless and disorganised. I can see I've got a lot on my plate. Thank you for this very clear video.
Thank you for explaining MS and sharing goals
this is wonderful introduction for anyone diagnosed with MS. I can't thank you enough, It really lightened the stress of it all
Doctor Boster you are fantastic and wonderful! Thank you.
I'd absolutely love 2 meet this Dr. in person. I wish that my doctors were like him. I'd seriously consider moving 2 Ohio just 2 b able 2 have him as my MS specialist......
I’ve has MS for 24 yrs now. I work as a gardener and was close to having to give it up through extreme fatigue and dizziness.
I tried the Keto diet 3 years ago and boy has that sorted my life out. All symptoms have resolved and to all intents and purposes I’m just a normal guy again.
Ken Berry saved my life.
Ken Berry is one of my favorites too!
Your video has given me a lot of clarity and so much hope.
Thank you so much.
I’m so thankful for you. ❤
I wish I had watched this video 6 years ago when I was diagnosed with MS. This is a game changer for me - easy and practical info, but presented in a way that has me motivated to utilize all this info. I have been lucky with minimal issues and only 2 relapses (I'm 48 yrs old) and this video gave me a gentle nudge to continue down a "better" and healthier path -not to ignore my diagnosis but to live with it and be proactive with my health. Thank you!
This video is so Helpful. Thank You!!
Love the jacket Dr. B !!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you! I really appreciate all the information! So very helpful! 😌🙏
You are the best !! My son was diagnosed January 2023 and we watch you all the time . He is doing your “ 5 things “ 😊 He’s on Kisempta and trying to live his best life ! He goes for his first MRI since taking his DMT in a couple weeks 🤞🏼Thank you from Canada 🇨🇦
How's he now?
How was your son’s MRI after his treatment
you have made this so much easier to understand. I thought getting diagnosed was going to end my life. thank you for what you do sir!
Thank you for making these videos! I'm diagnosed with MS and these tips make sense for me!
Thank you as always for your videos. Helps give clarity and a sense of control when confronting a medical system that can feel very very cold. We, and your patients, are lucky to have you.
Smart man that faces reality and doesn’t sugar coat shit is exactly what’s needed in this realm of study. Thank you for educating thousands of people sir!
An amazing holistic approach, I absolutely love your vids doctor
THANK YOU Doc!! I don't know what else to say!
Thank you so much for this amazing video 🎉
I really enjoy your videos. Your cheerfulness is contagious…..much needed when dealing with this awful disease. Thank you!
Water hyssop was used in a mice model to relieve Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (inflammation of the brain and spinal chord).
Lions mane is thought to induce NGF which promotes the production of brain derived neurotrophic factor; this is involved in myelination.
Your intro music and shots are so badass 🔥🔥🔥🔥💛💛💛
Please keep doing your gifted work. God bless🙏
Thank you
Was dx in 2007 and this video was the most informative and clear and easy to understand. Thank you.
I agree this should be required watching for newly diagnosed folks.
Thank you for taking the time to share yourself. Your informative videos are extremely helpful, informative and encouraging. It’s awesome to see physicians like you care! Your a rarity. God bless. ❤
The biggest impact on me is some physical disability but mostly pain. I have been in severe pain for over 30 years I take the best painkillers available but still in horrible pain. What amazes me is what we can put up with as humans and find the strength to overcome.
Loving the channel, and love this video, so helpful.
When you mentioned untreated MS being a monster, how much less of a monster is it once the patient is on DMD’s (which I have just started) symptom-wise?
This was amazing!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!!!
I was recently diagnosed with MS and your videos are amazing. They have become a vital resource for me. Thank you for all you do to empower and educate.
I start my Infusion treatment next month. Ocrevus. Looking forward to kicking those B cells out and living my best life.
When I was diagnosed on the 22nd of December. I asked my neurologist if I could go on roller coasters the next day when I traveled to Florida. I went on the biggest, bad ass roller coasters I've ever been on, and I think I will be able to do that for quite some time!❤
Thanks again.
YES!!!
Fantastic!!! Thanks ☺️
Thank You. Iv learnt so much from you.
Hi from Israel thanks dear doctor excellent explanation that summarises the MS it shows how dedicated you are to the MS patients and how you want to help them God bless you
This was an amazing video. Thank you so much ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this valuable information. It is comforting to have this knowledge.
Glad it was helpful!
Geez Dr. Boster. I didn’t realize how connected Mono and MS were. I had mono firstly in 2005. Was brutal for a couple weeks steady. Diagnosed with MS in 2018. 22 lesions were found throughout my brain. Also a couple being on the spine. I really cleaned up my act in many ways. Vitamins, exercise, eating “better” healthy mixed with junk sometimes lol. And I receive Ocrevus every 6 months. It’s a battle I must be honest. It’s a constant fight it seems to keep things calm. My main battle is cog fog now a days. Decision making, frustration, coping with stress, emotions. It’s brutal. Keep practicing with it I guess eh. Thanks for this vid. Happy to have discovered you this morning! I’ve liked and subscribed. Looking forward to following you onward.
Thank you for posting these posts. I live in Australia. My neurologists approach is not like yours. I really appreciate your point of view. It has helped me for years.
Thank you for this video. 🙂
Thank you Dr Boster!
Welcome!
What an amazing video
Thank you for your videos they give me a lot of courage and thought of positivity I have been fighting with my doctor for quite some time and it seems that it's too late for him to listen now so I thought I was going to give up on everything for your videos help me I've had so much stuff wrong with me that I've kept hidden for so long that it's just going to take time for me to understand why I can't process thoughts most of the time anymore and why my body is just so bad all over the things that I carry with this are embarrassing but seems no one listens and I can't make people listen I can only say my feelings sometimes keep up the great work It seems like even though I have no diagnosed I know what I feel and how I feel and I can't hardly put two sentences together when I'm trying to figure out why I feel this way it doesn't work thanks once again sir You're a true hero in the world of neuro such as what I have I guess
Amazing Dr Boster thank u
A huge fan from Colo
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for making this video 😊👍⭐️
I feel so dizzy for 3 weeks now from my last attack told my neuro he said I need to try the epley manoeuvre
Excellent advice. 😊😊
Glad it was helpful!
Good evening Aaron! I try to watch all your videos on here Utube! I have to wait 11 weeks until I get to see my MS Neurologist, here in Indiana 😮. I don’t understand how & why I got MS? I’ve always been healthy and take vitamins daily! I appreciate all your information videos 😊😊
Diagnosed 3 jears ago, this is a very intresting way to look at it. We just have to learn our bodys better then a normal person.
Excellent! I want to be advocate of myself. Since I'm overwhelmed because I have a pendulum like feeling in the head for 3 months now. Hopefully next week a neurologist tells me a diagnosis.
Great video Thank you
Dear dr. B, at 2:30, you say "People can have slow steady decline, but I'm taking over years and years". What is your opinion when this steady decline is happening in 16 months, not overnight, rather slowly but firmly from month to month. Like being EDSS 1 in 2021 and now limping all the time. And the decline was triggered by severe covid pneumonia.
Best regards and thank you for all work you do on youtube for all MS people!
I really like your advice, as you are a very compassionate Neurologist doctor. I am a former medical assistant and I regularly study-research medical issues and nutrition. The root cause of medical issues in my opinion are key. Mindfulness practice is a great recommendation as this helps stress's, etc. Your recommendation to take vitamin D-3 is excellent and I believe adding Vit-K-2 with that supplement is very helpful. I don't have MS, I have scoliosis related to an 2020 injury from a pain management shot in my spine that injured a major nerve. Thank you for your uplifting video addressing many helpful ways to deal with medical issues and not just drugs!
Ocrevus was my lifesaver!
Me too!!!
I love everything about this video. You are the bomb Dr. Boster!
I have recently started watching your videos. Thank you so much for all the MS related information. When I first got diagnosed, I was completely in denial. But I'm slowly starting to accept my reality, and that's how I stumbled across your channel ❤❤❤
You are so welcome!
Thanks @AaronBosterMD for nice explaination . My brother-in-law has developed MS with seizures. Currently undergoing plasmapheresis treatment at hospital.
Can his condition improve ? Will he be lead little bit of normal life ??
Thank you for another great video Dr. Boster! Someone very dear to my heart has been diagnosed with MS at the age of 79. She had an appointment with an MS neurologist who told her there wasn’t anything that could be done for her because of her age except Botox for very tight muscles. She can no longer walk and mostly uses a scooter. Do you have any newly diagnosed patients that come to you at an advanced age and what does your conversation look like with them? This could be a topic for a new video or a question answered in one of your livestreams. Thank you
Thank you MS is frightening....
Tai chi is a great excercise ❤
Thank you!
I had a stroke in 2016 and still fight spasticity in my left arm/hand and my neurosurgeon recommended the baclofen pump. I would love to hear more about this procedure. Thank you ❤
I love how clear this is. I’ve been 9 years waiting for diagnosis but now that half my body is numb they think a mri again might be valuable. Since our Canadian health is so slow right now, I will use these best practices while I wait as they are fantastic advise even just for a healthier lifestyle. Thanks for this.
Hi from a fellow Canadian. My daughter was diagnosed 20 years ago with MS. We have never had any issues getting tests done but we live in Ontario. However our healthcare is not what it once was. She just had her annual MRI yesterday. Lindsay Hospital has a brand new MRI machine which books appts 24/7 so we have been told. I wish you all the best as you await your diagnosis. ❤
Dr @aaronBoster thank you so much for this video!!!!! I’m about to start massage school as a 40 year old. You think I should keep going. You think it’s possible for me to work as a massage therapist with MS?
Didn't realise about passive cigarette smoke as a risk for children. Does that risk decrease as they grow up with no symptoms? My Dad smoked alot and at 53 I'm heading to a neurologist to see if I have MS soon. Enjoying your vids here in the UK.
Hey! Thanks all the videos! I have a question. I have been diagnosed at February and since than I am using Acetazolamide (and a dmt) and I don’t exactly know why I am using Acetazolamide. I asked my neurologist and she told me “it’s for oedema on your eye.” (My attack was vision loss) If you could inform me that would be great!
I’ve been doing all said on daily basis & works despite decided not to go on DMT for PPMS given diagnosis at age 45 (all lesions on spinal cord & maybe 2-3 on brainstem) Not the Brain lesion for past 10+ yrs. 5 yrs gone & no lesions though damage on spine is way ahead of me. Question on new biomarker MOG-IgA(new type of antibody called immunoglobulin A or IgA) may have a pathogenic role in CNS & I’m only positive for Zoster & EBV & everything else from blood to spinal fluid either normal or negative. So one of dietary approach is to keep EBV starving.
Dr B I would like to say Thank you for all the info, you have taught me so much in the last couple of weeks since I was diagnosed…been watching lots of your vids. Including on the meds I’m going to be put on, Mavenclad. I’m building up to doing my 5 for 5..must learn to meditate and up my water game tho. 😊from the UK
You are very welcome
Good luck with Mavenclad treatment.
My daughter who had her MS treated with Mavenclad about 4 years ago in Australia has had very good effect.
She also follows mainly with the overcoming MS diet. No further lesions in the brain or spine.
Thank you Doc ❤😊
Welcome!
Great MS vlog!
Thank you!!
Thank you Aaron so much for yet another outstanding video. You have been my main source of support since my diagnosis 4 years ago (symptoms for 12 years). I am envious of your patients and wish my ms team had a modicum of your intelligence! 🙌
Did you ever get tested for MS in the 12 years of having the symptoms? Why were you only diagnosed 4 years ago?
Czy ciebie też traktowali lekarze jak symulanta i wysyłali do diabła gdy uparcie wracałeś żądając badań?
Thank you.
Thank you very much from Ankara/Turkey❤❤❤❤
Dr. Aaron, I want to make an appointment with your office. Have you ever treated pudendal neuralgia?
Great Infirmation
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this video. Great explanations
Pseudo attacks i get alot. My GP doesnt understand this
Question. How long did it take for you to get diagnosed?
I’ve also heard EBV mimics myelin and when it’s active, your body attacks your myelin by accident
I was diagnosed 16 years ago with R&R MS. Was on DM's for the first 5 years. I have had no significant attacks or new spots on my MRI's. I stopped DMs and have had no progression.
I started farming after I was diagnosed, and I believe this has helped me live my best life. By farming I do exercise, it is what I call, Noah's workout. BUT I believe THC is the best medication for this disease. When I stopped smoking for 6 mths, I had my diagnosing relapse. Even being in the sun all day every day in SC, my Vit D is always low. I love being outside, with my 30+ Angora goats, listening to the birds and watching the clouds. Your advice is wonderful. But are DM's always the way to go?
Is there any common and rare sideffects that you can tell me to be aware for my first dose of the new infusion. I’m getting it on next Saturday? I want to know what to expect for because for example ( when I got my first dose of Retuxin I turned blue and almost passes out and I threw up and my anxiety went SUPER SUPER HIGH)
Thank you! I am sure you would get along well with my neurologist. I am working on the exercise right now. I am walking each morning with my husband. I struggle with balance so he goes with me in case I need his assistance. I use the cane all of the time, but as I continue walking, I am feeling better. I like being outdoors for my 15 minute walk. Thanks for the information.
You can do it!
Eating cucumbers carrots kale, any food from the ground, take walks or exercise everyday. Made me feel much better from attacks from M.S.
No pasta or bread, btw.
Being able to do the Elliptical even though I can’t walk has been a godsend
Do you have ANY recommendations for a decent neurologist in Pittsburgh?! I’d travel to Columbus, (LOVE the city- lived there half a second in 94, right near college. Was gorgeous.) but I can barely make it in car around town.
🕊️
I’ve learned to closely listen to my body, sometimes I feel some stuff I feel or experience is all in my head. And not related to ms
