    Finally a doc that gets it. Everything you said is 100% true. My left hand has gotten a lot worse, but my doc says the MRI & Neuro exam hasn’t changed. I keep telling him there’s no way because it’s hard for me to grip & pickup things up, and when something is in my hand I can’t feel it and I drop things a lot. You have to listen to the patient because they’re the ones living in the body that has MS. Thanks for the great info!!!

    I have seen a total of six "M.S. Specialists", and I use that term very, very loosely. Only two of them were worth a damn. I am very grateful for them but the frustration, anger, hurt and trauma that the other four have caused me, is extremely unfair.

    Nice video. The story at 5:00 is very common in MS. The same phenomenon can happen in other diseases too. One of my attendings in medical school was a cardiologist, and she told me she had a patient who was a competitive runner presenting with a complaint of, "I can't run a marathon as fast as I used to." It turned out they had significant heart failure.

    I'm a potter, I have to do incredibly fine and complex motions with my hands daily, I can see my hand and finger dexterity and strength is going down, however on exam it's perfectly normal and doesn't show any signs of worsening. My neuro said that the tests aren't detailed enough to spot it, but they agree with me that my dexterity has deteriatoed because I know my own ability. They gave me exercises to do to help prevent further worsening. Hopefully I will be able to continue in my career for many decades.🤞

    Hi Doctor B, thank you for highlighting this issue that we face with a lot of junior MDs when they say that you are OK. I remember I had one who was fighting with me that I am imagining that I'm getting worse (8 years ago). Also I tried 2 years ago to change my treatment, I had alot of trouble with those junior MDs until I saw the main MD of the centre and he was shocked how I got worst in just 2 years. Immediately, he recommended a new treatment.

    Thanks for the fireside chat! I have been to many neurologists and remain frustrated with the “looks good” basing everything on the MRI when in reality I know when something feels off. Also, please remember menopause treatment for women. I feel so much better on HRT now when all my general/ neuro MDs were blaming the extreme fatigue on MS. The baseline fatigue is still present but not magnified with the HRT.

    Winter actually feels better than summer. But I’ve had relapses yet the MRI still shows no new activity. I was still treated with IV steroid because my legs and strength gave out the end of 2018. That was scary. My first hospital stay, which was 8 days and then 2 weeks of advanced rehab. I was able to walk after inpatient rehab and then I did outpatient rehab. But rehab with nerve pain was awful. I’m so glad Jesus took the never pain from my body a few years ago. I still deal with spasticity and muscle pain but it’s nothing like nerve pain. I should have asked for all pain to be taken lol oh well. I deal with my dogs keep me going. I have my pain med and my regular medicines but it’s not as much as before. I still wake up tired. I wake up in the middle of the night. But, sometimes if I do too much my legs feel like they’ll give out again and I have to take a break. There’s the rare day where I wake up energized and ready to do some projects. I get maybe a lot done and then I need a break or a break for the next day or more. MS is so weird and strange.

    SAME, but different. Sometimes it’s like the disease is gone. I can walk fast and straight.. I can go all day without my fatigue meds. Then.. the next week I am back to my inability to walk in a straight line or stand up for longer than a minute. It really messes with me and can’t make sense to the people around me. I may as well be lying or grossly exaggerating my experiences the other 80-90% of the time. I will be so thankful for the reprieve, and so mad that I do not look disabled to other people in the exact same moment. 😑

    I have had MS since 1997 and have not had an actual attack since 2002. I have been diagnosed as secondary progressive sinse about 2005 and, through PIRA, I progressed through a cane, walker, and now a wheelchair where even transfers to a vehicle or toilet is a challenge. I am currently on Gilenya and it has dramatically slowed progression. I wish I had turned to disease modifying therapies much sooner but I resisted taking the risk.

    I find PIRA a far more logical way to look at MS than the current categories. I find it reasonable to assume we are all undergoing some amount of PIRA, via atrophy, smoldering MS, subtle changes not visible on MRI where perhaps those younger in the disease have more visible relapses that punctuate PIRA if inflammation happens to hit a sensitive CNS spot. As we age and our immune systems chill out a little more whilst the atrophy and PIRA continue with less visible /fewer attacks. We are left with atrophy that keeps eating away at our reserves and may exacerbate prior inflammation areas where reserves could once compensate for. In this sense I find the categories a bit strange as they all blur into one and the same but may impact us differently at different times and ages. Interesting talk :)

    After a time span of YEARS, where my symptoms developed, I would have them addressed by different specialists, and I would continue on, trying to live my healthiest life, I reached a point where I knew something OVERALL was just not right with me. My imbalance, my struggle to find a word, my falls, my frustration were all related. My earnest journey this past year to find out what was going on involved my PCP, ophthalmologist, podiatrist, spinal specialist, and finally, my neurologist, who diagnosed me with MS. I was referred to my local MS clinic and a neurologist who specializes in MS care. I see him soon to try to decide what medicinal course of action to take. Thank you for ALL of your valuable information!! You have been and will be a great resource to me.❤❤❤

    Very informative and validating video. I just started using a CPAP machine and it has definitely helped combat fatigue and increased mental clarity. A few months ago I had a neurologist basically refuse to fill out a jury duty medical excuse form, as he said based on my most recent neurological testing- in office eye, balance, walking, coordination etc- I was “normal”. I was stunned. I felt like crying, because I certainly don’t feel normal. My body betrays me. This video really validates how I feel. Thank you.

    Have to say, at minute 12, we, he talk about fatigue. I hear the word fatigue and automatically, my brain goes to how cold water changed my world. First of all, CPAP changes things and it was Boster who referred me to sleep doctors, and probably the best treatment there is. Besides that, I’ve been in multiple medicines and ate better, drank my water. But it was when I discovered that once I could handle to cold water, cold showers or ice baths, it is an automatic fix to fatigue and weakness for me. I can hardly move out of bed. So I shower or bath, and get to start my day with a clear mind and energized body. I get to have my body in position to get the most out of my exercise that I can. Which in and off itself, may be the second or third most important thing we could do for fatigue. And then, if I wanted, I could go be on my feet for mac time, til I could t stand if needed, and afternoon I can do cold water again and instantaneously, my fatigue starts at it’s best possible baseline. Sorry, not sorry, but when I’m passionate about something as much as I am cold water therapy, I’m gonna share it. You don’t need just go from taking warm showers to taking ice cold showers but turning the water to colder and colder over time in at the end of the shower. So if you get a chance, first of all, find out idbyou have sleep apnea and also investigate the power and benefits of cold water therapy. Oh yeah, ice baths are an automatic fix for most of the day at least, no matter how bad my back pain is. I use it for that as much as anything. Whatever it is, hope you all can find a treatment to stop your MS disease progression, don’t be afraid of the overrated side-effects maybe, and give yourself to get 7 years of complete hault in disease progression and think outside the box to treat individual symptoms. Cold water works for me, but having Boster in my corner cheering me on, helping attack symptoms in ways besides just medicine, is everything. He’s my MS Neuro, but I’m my own doctor and am the only one daily that can extend that 7 years and remission even longer. Oh yeah, haha, I just saw that Boster has 738 videos. Wow. Just wow

    Spasticity can also worsen when exercising in cold water! For me 80-83 degrees, as is recommended for MS water exercise, really ramps up the spasticity. I do best in water 87-90 degrees. Any warmer and Uthoff's kicks in but I have found that sweet spot.

    Hey there! Welcome! So you got your diagnosis!? Did it take a while, we’re you dealing with unexplained symptoms big time before it got narrowed down and diagnosed? Man, I’m pumped you found Dr AaronBoster. If I would have met him, even learned about him, in th first years of diagnosis, my prognosis and outlook and the ultimate results would have been much better. I was lucky to have an amazing ms doctor for 15 years. We tried and tried and never could get my MS under control and was almost always in a wheelchair at this point. My doctor, at this point, desperate for me to live a better life, threw his hands up and said he couldn’t help me, but felt he knew someone who could, though I’d have to have a ride to 5 hours away. I obviously couldn’t drive The prospective doctor went to med school with my neuro and they were bffs and had a self proclaimed Bromance haha I proceeded to begin care with his bff, Dr Aaron Boster and he had ideas, that not only got and kept me out of the wheelchair, he helped put a stop to my disease progression. 7 years later, I have had zero damage or disease progression. I’m in remission. I guess my point is, if, when maybe, your disease shows it’s ugly face and it just seems to never cooperate, a neuro you see may not be what you need. I just want you to stay on top of your MS game, knowledge and options. If you ever feel like you are having progression at a rate you aren’t comfortable with, don’t be afraid to change any and everything, including DMT and doctors. One last advice(I’m in no place to advise but like to run my mouth sometimes hehe,) is if you have an attack, new damage in brain or spinal cord, maybe take Bosters advice and think about switching treatments! Just becasue one works for sone doesn’t mean it will work for us. I went on Lemtrada 7 years ago, along with a newly diagnosed friend named Jamie. We have done super amazing since Lemtrada, but she was starting off her new MS remission she went into, with perfect mobility and mine was when I was sun a wheelchair. Stay proactive. I never was, taking care of myself awful, and I had an opportunity when I was diagnosed 1, 2 or even ten years to be proactive. I wasn’t. I’m wheelchair free now, but it was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. So this comment was not just for you I don’t think But I saw newly diagnosed, respects Boster, and felt the need to go long long winded into, take care of your mind, body, especially your mind maybe. And your future is brighter than you can even imagine. Boster, and @drbrandonbeaber knowledge will bring ease to your mind. Take care and do what you do. You’ve got this!

    Thanks Doc and keep up the good work! This helps explain the weakening in my left leg. This was the spot that brought my diagnosis. I can't walk far with or without aid. Short tips into a store, I might just limp it but longer walks, still short for most people, I will use a cane. Then a outdoor walk, I can maybe do 1km with two hiking sticks but then I need to rest. I am hitting the weight room and my strength increases if I keep at it. My neuro also explained that everyone gets weaker with age but unfortunately, I have a head start.

    @Sharla12136 ай бұрын

    New lesions can be a blessing as they can qualify you as having active disease and you can get better treatments. It’s hard to prove you feel worse without that sometimes. Please tell us which drugs can affect PIRA?
