After nearly 20 yrs refusing to go out because of depression but also due to fatigue/pain ,I have started to go swimming once a wk and get to enjoy my grandchildren in the process (even though I know that the next day I'll hardly be able to walk ) just remembering their smiles make it all worthwhile. I also wish I could have a pet but when I think how much one needs to care for it and also the vet's bills, its not worth it .I'm from Malta.
These tips make so much sense! I started doing these things a few months ago almost inadvertently and the difference is significant.
I love to hear that I’m on the right path and advice for what’s next.
I have MS (2004 diagnosis). I’ve found this very interesting & the whole channel of videos extremely useful.
Great tops. I volunteer a few times a week just to get out. Pets are awesome, Louie stays by my side 24/7 if allowed. He makes me giggle, play ball but most of all if he thinks I am down his head guess to my belly and I can't help but hug him and smile. He knows me too well.
How can you not love this guy? The OhioHealth staff as a whole actually,

I stopped smoking 8 months ago, and started working and it has helped
What an absolutely brilliant set of tips - you are amazing Dr B - thank you 😁
I just want to say I really enjoy watching your videos! I live by them a learn so much. Thank you for giving back to us MSers and you are a godsend in our community. God bless you!
Surrounding yourself with positive outgoing people.
I'm sorry Aaron I know this is an older video but I just wanted to thank you for these tips.
Thank you for you words of wisdom....I appreciate it.
Thanks for listening
Hi Doc, I watched your new video this morning and this video popped so I rewatched it. I'm really struggling with depression and isolation. I'm disabled from MS and unable to work. My husband went back to work on-site in May so I am home alone all day. Actually, I do have a 9 year old black lab named Luna that is here with me. But still, it is the human interaction and engagement in life that I feel I am missing. The pandemic plus being immunocompromised from Ocrevus has really altered opportunities that I feel safe doing outside of the house. After watching this video again, I am thinking I need to make a goal to call someone at least once a week. I also have plans to start seeing a therapist and psychiatrist. Thanks for all you do Dr. B! Have a good day-Lora from Michigan
Great tips!These are exactly what I need now.Thank you dr.Bos

Very down to earth. I really appreciate your input. Many thanks....
I appreciate that!
Thank you for great videos! You have helped me so much since I found your videos. Easier to talk to my Dr. too.
Howdy and TY for watching Leslie! TY for the kind comment!
Thanks again for this
Always welcome
Yet another great video Dr. Bos! 🤜🏼💥🤛🏼
Thank you Dave!
@@AaronBosterMD pretty realistic👍
Just came across your “vlogs ” and I just wanted to say, thank you. Your cheerful demeanor and overall joyful attitude alone, had me binge watching your videos...and if that wasn’t enough...the actual information you’ve shared has been truly wonderful! This one in particular was inspiring. You are a gift to your patients.
I’m 46 (for about another month😉) and was diagnosed almost 4 years ago.
After a 9 month Tysabri flush...(on for 3 yrs but was afraid of PML risk, J.C. Positive high titer level) I will be receiving my 2nd half of my first Ocrevus infusion in about a week...feeling so many “ugly” things since off Tysabri... hoping that I’ll feel better with this new Therapy...thanks so much for making it a little more clear for me. ...yeah....just thank you... very much...for all of this. ☺️
Darla,
I'm SO excited that you find the videos helpful! That's awesome. If I see 16 PwMS in a day I hope to help 16 families. But if my video could touch others, I can help many more that I otherwise wouldn't be able to reach!
Congrats on transitioning to your new DMT. These transitions can be emotional / challenging but YOU CAN DO IT!
Aaron Boster MD well...just know that you ARE helping many more.
Yes, the change in my DMT is a little “challenging” to say the least... but you’re right...I CAN do it! 😉 Thanks again!
Right on!! #MSWarrior #WeHaveMS
Everytime I reread (the subtitles while listening ;) ) your videos more enjoying your wise advice. I hade a teacher in the university thar said: I have to repeat the things 500 times!!!, well, I enjoy listening many times and I discover new things every time.
Sorry, my mistakes typewriting (I had a teacher.., and That said).
Howdy Luis! I find that CZcams is great because someone can learn when (e.g. 3am) and where (e.g. bathroom or bedroom) they want AND can rewatch as often as they like. That's super cool and I'm really glad the videos help! #WeHaveMS
Meditation and Yoga will help reducing stress and anxiety.
Sharing in response to a members question ❤️ty
Extremetly good video DR. Boster, from Sudbury,ontario,Canada
Great tips, and as an added bonus, you can listen to them while doing some exercise, e.g. right now, I'm stretching my psoas muscle and hope this will improve my walking. :-)
Good stuff!
Thanks Aaron. Good tips.

Hi Doc I was diagnosed with Ms in 2002. I'm a shift worker. 1 week on nights next week days. Any suggestions on improving sleep?
Yes, thank you!x
For sure Sarah! Which tip did you find the most helpful?
Shared ❤️
Depression is something I didn't admit I have...
I took sertraline tables for 3 months and I feel kind of better can I stop taking it???
Doenst interferon cause depression?
I took an antidepressant but it caused me a lot side effects such as weigh gained of 22 pounds and now I am pre-diabetic because of that. So I feel like having to decide: be calm or be diabetic. :(
Howdy Rita, hopefully there are other antidepressant options for you that don't require that choice!
Hi Dr. Aaron Boster, thank you for your answer. I've treied five different drugs, even those ones that "don't cause weight gain". For example, Cymbalta, I had gained 1.4 kg in a month - after had gained 10 kg with Celexa. I just gave it up. That it was last antidepressant that I took. I need to take a medication to keep myself stable emotionally, because MS makes you feel on edge all the time, you have no patience with the life anymore, it is seems that small things, like waiting for the bus or a loud television, bother you. I think it is because of the fatigue. I feel tired all the time and it is hard to be pleasure and all smiling when you are fighting to do daily activities. Do you know any medication, natural or prescribed, based on your experience, that doesn't cause weight gain? Please notice, Dr. Boster, you are not prescribing it to me, only base on your experience. I will see my doctor in September again. Thank you!
Ask your provider about Wellbutrin and Viibryd, for examples of anti-depressants that are less likely to cause weight gain.
