I wish i coukd actualy go get full diagnoses
@@daschundloverable I just saw this . I wish you all the best. Your comment got placed as a reply to me. Maybe you can post it again at the top or even call his office in Ohio. I think they might talk by phone or make an appointment or a referral. 💛🕯🙏

Hi Dr B. I was born and raised in Ohio. I was diagnosed with mono at age 4. Fast forward to now I was diagnosed with MS at age 60. Looking back 10 years ago there were other things that happened that should have had me questioning what was going on. Thank you for doing these videos. I missed your live again.
YW Linda!
Good Morning, I missed the LIVE but the chat as always chock full of information. I hate I missed you but I had just fallen asleep at 5am. If you set a reminder that you will be Live on CZcams that will notify all of us subscribers to expect your Live and we can go to your room! I missed your pup along with the morning grog!
super helpful! TY AJ's HR
Thank you! Dr. Boster for again explaining neurofilament light chain. I understand it better.
Love River. Love the skull. Appreciate you wake up and just spontaneously jumping on line. But the pajama pants just took it over the top for keeping our engagement. Your comment about second hand smoke just became my OMG moment.
TY for the engaging feedback! Truth be told, I didn't plan on standing up while on camera! 😳
Thanks for taking time to educate us on multiple sclerosis. So glad one of your videos was shared in a fb group so I could watch your videos. You are much appreciated!
Thx doctor Boster,
you are a fabulous person! thanks for all your hard workj
Thank you so much for another amazing video Dr. Boster. Your videos are not only educational but they are inspirational as well. I was diagnosed with MS less than a year ago and I am still struggling to manage my daily relapse symptoms but these videos give me hope. I appreciate what you are doing for those in the MS community. I am wishing you, your work family, your home family and this online family community the absolute best!
Watching all your videos from Sydney, Australia.
Wow I'm really impressed with you as a person. It's like listening to best friend or family member so genuine! Your full of positivity understanding and super knowledgeable. Absolutely amazing! Wish you all the best and your videos are very uplifting. Thank you for your work❤
Just rewatching River is such a cutie - so pleased you’ve finally been able to take her to work with you - I’m sure she’s just as happy as you! Dogs are awesome🐕 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I know this has nothing to do with initial diagnosis or how a diagnosis comes to be... But, I was wondering why MS symptoms seem to become worse during a menstrual cycle!?
Yeeees!!! I know this reply is late!! I know this because I had 3 kids while having MS and I didn't have to take any medicine and I was on top of the world! My back was the only problem! So, my doctor said that load of estrogen helped, but when our menstrual comes, it drops drastically, therefore making things worse!!
I would love to see River in your clinic. Very helpful for stress
Thank you for another informative video. The internet is chalked full of misinformation about MS and there are also a number of opritunists that prey on those with MS. Thank you so much for making these videos, it is nice to be able to freely learn about MS from a trusted source. Education about MS is the best tool relieve the fear of MS.
I am from Germany thanks for all the information of Ms it makes living better doctor b

Hi Dr. B. Leslie from Australia. Missed the live version but I always catch later.
What are your thoughts on quantum neurology? Is it something worth looking into?
Hey dr. Boster Thanks for all the info on M.S. Greatly appreciated. Always trying to learn about M.S. been diagnosed since 2012
Right on Josh. I've got 214 vids on the channel and I'll keep makin' them if you keep watchin' them!
I was diagnosed with MS in my early 20s and been on Tecfidera for 5 years. On the first year they helped me but afterwards I felt like I was feeling worse because of them. Eventually, on the sixth year, I stopped taking any pills and got devoted to a healthy food. I currently still have spacticity and weakness but I try to take responsibility for myself, work and life ❤
Same thing happened to me on tecfidera I stopped two years ago thank u Jesus no activity on my MRI reports.
@@kitkat8814 Happy to hear there's someone like me who did not fear the truth that we have found on our own. God bless people who are in the same situation and condition like ours 🙏
Hey Dr. B. I am a PA who specializes in MS in Roanoke Va. I think you are awesome. I practice very similar to the way you do. If you ever do lectures/speaker dinners we would love to have you.
Howdy Tracy! I'd love to collab with you! Let's chat. Do you have Twitter? If so, then please DM me @OhioHealthMS
I live near Roanoke. How do I find you?
Redhen I am with Lewis Gale neurology.
Ha! I'm seeing Dr. Elechi. Too old for MS, probably CNS Mimic related to Sjogren Syndrome. Wonder if Dr. Boster would discuss differential diagnosis. LP Tuesday.
Redhen what a small world. I’m sure he would discuss diff dx. That would be a good conversation. Hopefully, the LP will reveal something more definitive. Keep me posted!
Hello from Wyoming, USA
Hello Dr. Bolster, Thank you for all that you do for us. I was wondering if someone with MS can have PRK eye surgery to help with extremely poor eye sight and I would like your opinion on this. Sunday evening sounds great for me.

I like the description of MS fatigue I heard once as the feeling of carrying the weight of wet towels draped over my body. It can also feel like my legs are filled with lead to me. As far as attention span with MS, I don’t think I could work without taking Concerta, it has been very helpful. Just my two cents on the topic! Thanks😀
TY for sharing Lynn!
Hi from Massachusetts...
Dr. Boster you enlighten all of your followers each day. Always nice to watch your videos. You work so hard! even on the weekends!. wish other Drs were so passionate.
The Vit D thing. Wonder if some people are just predisposed to having low vitamin D levels. I lived in florida for over 10 years and spent a lot of time outside in the sun. had a small landscape business at the time. All that sun i took in and still had a very low vitamin D level.
may very well be!
I am loving your live streams. I am at 9 on the EDSS, so I don’t think any drug could help?

Hi, my name is Denise from Scotland,UK.I was diagnosed with FND just over 3 years ago and since then my life has come completey changed.Due to so many things which have been happening to me I started following your videos and I have a funny feeling IT'S MS.I am a trained Registered Nurse but unfortunately haven't been able to work for a number of years now.Last year I got a huge shock as I was diagnosed with DCIS which I started treating myself with THC oil which my consultant was adamant that it would not work.The problem was that I refused point blank to have radiotherapy and evetually the oil became too expensive.I wasn't keen on surgery but due to it being Intermediate grade I was left with no choice but to have a lumpectomy but when they were Inserting the frequency wire I asked what size the tumor was and to my amazement it had shrunk,not by a lot but still.Anyway I went ahead and had the surgery but since then the strange syymptoms I have been getting is really scaring me.I was supposed to be referred back to my neurologist but that hasn't happened and I am really apprehensive about going to my GP but it has got to the stage now that I'm going to have to.I really need help.I am.neay 53 and think I am post menopausal.

Hang in there Sonja!
Thank you for your informative videos. I m a recent subscriber and I would like to share my story. I was epxeriencing numbness and tingling on my whole body and I had this feeling of heaviness in my legs and arms. I saw a few docs in my country and they suggested an MRI. the MRI showed small white matter hyper intensities (d up to 3mm) at the frontal lobes of the cerebral hemispheres, however docs told me that it is not the clear picture of an MS diagnosis. The blood tests, the neurological examination and the cerebrospinal fluid analysis came out clear..I feel very weird not knowing what is causing my symptoms and MRI findings.. Do you believe that I should concentrate on your instuctions for MS? I dont want to lose time.. I have small kiddos who need their mum.
Dr. B , if someone has some symptoms of MS such as migraines, fatigue and Trigeminal neuralgia and has a clear MRI is more testing warranted? In other words do doctors need to see demyelination on MRIS?
River is gorgeous ❣️
Heya River! Beautiful pooch! How is Secondary Progressive diagnosed?

Hello Dr. Boster,
Sorry I missed the live. Thank you for another video chucked full of information and answers to questions!! It always seems without fail in your live sessions that you give info and answers to something that I’ve been wondering about for years and that’s AWESOME!!
What I really want you to know is how much I appreciate your selfless act of the giving of your time, your knowledge, and your genuine concern for those of us in this community. I don’t know how you pull it off like you do Dr. Boster? a man with a medical practice, a family and everything that just those two things entail and you still find time, all the time to help us understand things about MS. THANK YOU!!
I really appreciate you Paul. TY for sharing that and saying those kind words! #WeHaveMS

Dr. Boster, last year I felt like I was facing increased symptoms, as though an exaserbation was coming on. My Nurse Practioner had me take a urine test. The result came back positive for a urine infection. Why didn't I feel any urinary discomfort? I had to take medicine to get rid of that problem before she would prescribe steroids. Why couldn't I take both at the same time? Cindy
The NP sounds like she's on point. Have you seen this vid: czcams.com/video/YmWH0gwyO3I/video.html
i had rocky mt spotted fever in the past. im hearing through other drs that maybe it comes from tick bites and also the dr duray foundation has studied MS bodies and they have found nematodes in the spinal fluid and brain. look up the 2016 london lecture. please let me know what you think!
Can you use wormers?
Dr. Boster I have heard that running a fever can cause a flare us this true? I have ris and recently my gallbladder has decided to not function properly and I will be having it removed I have been running fever with this and have noticed I get this tingling feeling that starts on my head on the right side and tracks it's way down my whole right side of my body. It's not constant but has been happening quite frequently since this gallbladder stuff has started. Just curious
Not enough info t be able to comment intelligently. I'd need to review chart, examine you, review all MRI images, review labs, and more before I could comment.
Have you ever had a patient with a normal mri and had ms ?

I seem to have “advanced atrophy” for my age. It seems like there is nothing I can do about it. Are there any clinical trials focused on atrophy specifically? I’m also not sure what an atrophy brain means. Correlated with? Death? Dementia? Alzheimer’s?, stroke? I got the idea that brain atrophy isn’t good, but do we really know what it does?
Is it common to get additional autoimmune diseases with MS?
Diagnosis was Oct 2017.
Left eye recovered after about one year after going blind 08 2019.
Right eye went blind in summer 2021 and recovered some, but not much yet.
Recently my body went numb and feels like I was dipped in a bath of Lidocaine from my neck down to my toes.
For the last month I barely walk without struggling.
No wheel chair yet, but suspect I’ll need one if I decide to go outside and need to walk past 20 yards.
What’s good for MS numbness?
Time and what else besides rest of which I get plenty of?
I spent a few hours for a few days in my hot garage and believe this caused my latest MS attack that left me feeling numb.
So, MS people, limit you heat exposure.
Hi from Kathy/Jersey...yer not coming in on CZcams
What if an MRI with and without contrast, weighted T2 showed lesions in the ventricular and subcortical white matter, with minor shrinkage noted. Everything else was unremarkable. Could this be an indication of MS?
Hey Dr. Boster, wonderful of you to give us your precious time. I’m Sue, from Angola, Indiana , I as diagnosed in 1986, and am now 74. My age is hitting me hard now in addition MS. I feel like I’m losing ground fast now. I spend a lot of time pretending I’m sane. New widow , sad. I need prayers!! Thank you!!
Howdy Sue! You are not alone! This entire global village is here supporting you and sending you love. #WeHaveMS
Ps. Dr. How should I handle a pcp who admits he doesn’t know much about MS, he only has 4 patients with it? Should I stop going to him. I have a Neurologist!
PCP can be super helpful with non MS things!
Timing of the streams should be primarily according to Your schedule, Dr.A+ :-) A heads up 24 hours ahead would be wonderful, but not 'mandatory'.
QUESTION: Dr.Boster, I had a strange new thing when receiving a back massage - from shoulder blades above, I felt the masseurs hands less than half as much as below that imaginary line... It was the same during the whole massage and I was literally able to recognize her hands crossing that line. (so it definitely was not because she pressed less/more) Can even that be due MS?
Dr. Boster, I had subtle symptoms that would appear if I didn't get enough sleep. My right arm and leg would throb as though I worked out really hard. A good night's sleep became a must. The year I had my first exacerbation, I came down with the Flu at X-mas, then two and a half months later I came down with it again. I noticed my cognition was showing signs of "rust" or not "firing on all cylinders." My motivation had been lacking as well, since the birth of my second child. This was a problem, since I really wanted to tackle my To Do List, and only worked on the things I could do without hesitation. I consulted with a clinical psychiatrist; she diagnosed me with ADD. I began using Vyvanse. This was in June. I felt like I was running smoothly until I kept myself up all night two months later. (I know, it was a terrible move on my part, and I didn't listen to my own advice). When I finally went to sleep, I stressed myself out for not attending a meeting. I went to sleep later that night and woke up foggy. I did yard work and then went to nap. The next day I felt a physical sense of anxiety and yet, I no longer worried about my meeting or anything else. But the anxiety seemed to park itself in my core. If I could imagine myself totally relaxing, I felt like my body would shake. Walking around was now with jarring feeling in my right hip joint, and I had to really work hard to concentrate when driving. By the fifth day, I couldn't write or type. The anxiety wouldn't go away. Was I having a reaction to Vyvanse? I was walking around like I was drunk and my speech was slurred. I had no numbness, I could feel everything. I began taking long naps. By the 11th day, I was in the ER and that's where I was diagnosed with MS. I really felt like having the Flu twice, really tipped the scale towards more active MS to step forward. Although I didn't deal with anxiety, it appeared when the MS was ready to rear it's ugly head. To this day, whenever I have this anxiety come on, I know the other symptoms become active. I share these memories in hope they may help others. Thank you Dr. Boster for this video. I will definitely share this one with others. 😊
I like the moniker Dr. A+, lol! :D He has earned that! good one!
Martin, since your massage, has the normal sensation returned to that area of your body? Something you may want to consider before giving it the label of MS, consult with a General Neurologist, and take your family health history with you. If you're having problems with memory, write it down. I was able to rattle off my family health history, and include the family members who had other kinds of neurological issues. Ask your family members, especially the older members, more than once. Really probe them because some will keep quiet about health issues that you're dealing with. You just may uncover a pattern between you and family members. If you head for a consultation with only the list of symptoms you feel, there will be long list of tests you'll have to undergo to rule out the possibilities. Also, ask for an MRI of your brain and spinal cord. I don't know in what instance a CT or PET scan would be required, all I recall from my visit to the ER, I shared my family health history and I was immediately sent up for an MRI of my brain, then my spine. I had lesions throughout my brain, and at least one on my spine. I recommend you keep all your medical visit paperwork in a binder. If you happen to have an exaserbation, whereby your body is not performing properly and you can't sleep it off, you may wind up in the ER, and just having your medical visit docs will help you the doctors evaluate you faster and help you during a period you may not be able to think straight and remember all the details of when and why. Trying to keep your thoughts straight becomes a challenge with an exaserbation. As I advise my family and friends, get yourself to a neurologist sooner rather than later; get yourself a head of the problem even if you can't be certain what you're dealing with, you just know your not performing normally. It may take a while to lock in that first appointment with the general neurologist, but having established the relationship will help get you to the required specialist you need sooner, rather than later. My best wishes to you on this journey. Cindy
@@ope4r540 Wow, Cindy, thanks for Your comprehensive reply. I definitely do have MS, this summer it will be 22 years since my first symptom. Actually, that funny+scary behavior of my back did not appear again (I had another 3 massages since it happened last Monday). Lets see what my MS-doctor tells me in 2 weeks...
In the midst of covid19. My neurologist has put my (Tysabri or ocrevus) on hold. Any chance I can push it since my spinal tap came back. So I can take both. But I wanna try ocrevus.
I'm mainly looking to see if they have a spot available say tomorrow. But my neurologist wants to wait until after this Covid19 thing (because who really knows WHEN itll be over). Because I'm not working rn and want to return to work so I can pay my bills.
Are you on treatment now?
May I ask, did you say, "MO Spectrum disorder?" If so, what does that stand for? Thank-you.
NMOSD = neuro myelitis optica spectrum disorder
Thank-you. I am trying to understand as much as possible, while awaiting an MRI.
MS and fibermialgia do they realy go togeather or do they mimic each other
How do you get the diagnosis of either or both and could it have been wrong saying both i never went back on follow up to find out if indeed it was both or ok one
I can't live chat sir but I might have MS
I get 3-4 hrs a night from bathroom visits n pain. But my Drs just blow it off
@ 33:25 Your talking about brain MRI. I did a lot of study on MS on and off for years. I knew I had MS but my MRI's kept coming back with nothing. I had about 4, 4 different Doctor's. Three came back with just grey matter, nothing else. My now Doctor did am MRI and it shows It is Full of lesions. I was floored. My Doctor told me with the amount of lesions, I had to of had this sense my 20;s?( Questioning if this could be possible) during my research I found a site that spoke about MRI's searching for MS. They explained about the difference between large slices and small slices. The small slices show the bigger picture of the brain and pick up the lesions. Side note: Why would not all Nero doctor's do this after all the signs and symptoms are there? I hope those that have not been diagnosed yet but are like me what I went through ask for this small slice MRI. Thank you Doc for your Work and Video;s. I find doing research on this very fascinating. I can see why you are in this field.
I think that my wife is living your story. It is so hard to have something so wrong with you and not have an explanation or any treatment.

I agree it's really interesting stuff to learn about Jeanine
Wow Jeannie I am not diagnosed but have been suffering strange neurological symptoms for a long time (most have not been looked into properly after blood screening could not identify any other cause and put down to everyday stressors) however, after a recent TIA my first MRI found an abnormality but it did not show on a second MRI a few days later. thankfully Dr B educated me on differences in MRIs, I do know that I was scanned on two different machines and although I have ascertained that they were both 1.5 Tesla I do not know if there was any gaps or the size of the slices to try and explain or clarify what the abnormalities are. Something I will be asking about as I feel all of symptoms could suggest possible MS. I have had vitamin D deficiency also. I am so grateful for any education as knowledge is power and I do not want to 'slip through the net' in terms of identifying the cause of these crazy debilitating symptoms which appears to be very common with MS as I know it is so complex. I do hope you are as well as can be. And thank you for sharing.
mmdaviesmd. i was lucky enough to find a doctor to do the correct MRI. I had been seeing him for a few months as he did tests, wondering what was wrong. I lost two nerves in both my legs and feet. My back has degenerated disks and they crunched down on the nerves, I was told. I still have major back pain and never given pain meds for it. I have 7 that are bad. I am now 58 and I have been fighting for a diagnosis for many many years. As are wonderful Doctor here tells us, everyone is different. I had symptoms in my twenties as I started loosing my deep tendon reflex, and one pupil what is called Adie pupil. In my early thirties, my head felt like a tuning fork going off in it. Some times Once a days, then I could go a whole year with out it. I also had a Tia at age 43. My body started showing fatigue, muscle pain and nerve pain. My legs would fold up on me for no reason. Pins and needles, then the down there problems. I knew every restroom in town. Migraines, shock down my back and other area's. I went to so many doctors trying to find out what was wrong, I started digging for my self. I came down to MS. I was labeled in 2009 with Fibromyalgia after a car accident. My eyes were so blurry I could hardly work. So, now I am focused on this. I tried to learn all I could about it but I was not satisfied with it. I knew I had MS. I had what I thought was a nervous breakdown after my sister had just past. I could not stop shaking, then the violent spastic jerks started the next year and the shakes got worse. I made an appointment to see my nero after I had a scary moment with my spastic jerks. My head went back so hard and fast I thought my neck was going to break. But the next week, my husband had to walk me into the office, I was shaking, could not talk right, slurred, shaking so back I could not sign my name. That was when they decided to look at my MRI I had done months ago!!!! I got a call the next day. You have MS. She called me back in and showed me my MRI. My brain is Full of lesions. She said I was progressive but not sure yet which progressive. My advise is put all of your symptoms together, ask for a blood test on your Antibodies and vitamin D, and Ask for the special MRI that is for MS! Fight until you get an answer. Keep in mind, you might come up with something other than MS but at least you will know for sure! God be with you.
Great live, sadly I missed it, ;*( I'd like to comment on ...
~The PAINTING, in the back round, i love it.... ~it seems like the" t-cell university guy! " quoted from dr. Erin boster. In actually one of my most fav, video u made, in a venue, at Ohio health some where, maybe it was osu, and how that painting could so much depict m,s, and the t~cell university beginning. Ending in m.s. I see the blue being the beginning of the storm in m.s,
Great painting although I'm very sure my vivid imagination is not the real meaning behind the painting. :*)
P.s.also thank you for mention about weither it's possible to obtain enough vit d from milk or not , while I always craved it redonkulosly as a child, i understand now maybe thats a great reason why,maybe that's the reason it wasn't making a difference, non the less I loved milk vs, soda, lol and thanks so much for shedding light on this.

I am fairly certain that I am the only one in my family with an autoimmune disease/MS. I tested negative for Epstein Barre. I have had head trauma and my father did smoke around us all the time (I’m an 80’s kid lol). Do you think my children are still at a higher risk?
It is because of Western foods and now that Western foods are hitting other Countries now they are having Autoimmune Disease as well. That is my thoughts ❤
I have ms when turn 60 years old..I think I sick. For a long time. My brain brain was so swollen they have me 2000mg of soro
