Multiple Sclerosis - CRASH! Medical Review Series

[@venuspang6955]

If you're a med student watching this, what he said about "no focal neurological deficit being normal" is absolutely true. When I was 25 and otherwise healthy, I presented to my GP with diplopia and a chest tightness/pressure (classic MS hug) and she just sent me to get an ECG, which turned out to be normal. When I was 28, I got ulnar neuropathy, and then 2 weeks later L'hermitte's sign after an URTI. Went to a neurologist this time, and he told me that I had probably compressed my ulnar nerve (?! but it was bilateral neuropathy?!). He also said that oriental girls don't get MS. He did an MRI cervical spine, which came back with one lesion. A few months later, this progressed to leg weakness, paresthesias, optic neuritis, you name it. Finally saw another neurologist who ordered an MRI brain + cervical thoracic spine and the number of lesions was too many to count. It took over 3 years to diagnose my MS. TLDR: If a young person comes in with a focal neurological deficit, please keep MS in mind. You could be saving someone from years of misdiagnosis.

More than my 4 neurologists ever told me. Nice to see a doctor that knows about MS.

[@ShobitaA]

thank for creating this video lecture , as a medical resident it really helps. God bless You !

[@jdar5039]

Remember too: if the lesion's in the limbic system, MS can present with neuropsychiatric symptoms e.g. depression, mania, agitation, or psychosis.

[@pg8982]

These lectures are EXCELLENT review. Thank you !

[@terri4931]

My BAER test was actually THE test to confirm my MS.

[@mohdfikry7032]

Hi dr Paul, any update for MS lecture? Quite a common exam stuff MS. Hope youd do an update.

[@bonnieheffner1267]

Looking for pictures of the dark colored scale that presents itself on the hand, face, back of the scalp, or really anywhere on the body. I also would like to know the name of this condition. The internet had multiple pictures of this condition a few weeks ago, but since-- the pictures have all been taken down. I suppose because people were complaining about the pharmaceutical site trying to "Scare" people. However, it peeked my curiosity, so I just want to have knowledge of this condition along with pictures. Please help me!!!

[@hellomeme94]

thank you for all urgent videos!!

[@dok9415]

Thank you so much for this brief and to the point explanation. 👌🙏

[@lookingforsure]

[@FlyOnFire88]

Great video. Thanks a lot!

[@postbodzapism]

How I wished it really were the end of MS.

[@cementra2007]

Fingolomod maybe used as first line for a lot of patients!

[@nellyhoffman6194]

Thanks a lot dr Paul

[@kbellmurray]

After watching this I don’t think I have it even though I carry the dx.

[@gamaltaher9714]

Can MS affect AHC as I found denervation and fasciculation potentials in patient diagnosed as MS by MRI?

[@keitymarley733]

My sister is 32 years old and she has suffered from meniere disease for years and she always complains to me that I had to bought her Dr Madida herbs I saw on KZbin and she is telling me last month that she is cured completely and don’t long have the symptoms like vertigo or dizziness, feeling of fullness in the ear or ringing, hearing loss, imbalance, motion sickness, nausea, or nystagmus

[@soundoussmail1714]

Is a one MRI (shows presence of lesions ) sufficiant to diagnose MS ?!

[@anisbuzreg8246]

even though i don't study from usmle but as far as i know Dx of MS requires Hx Px and Inx to reach the Dx

[@terri4931]

You mentioned that the only way to diagnose MS is with an MRI; however, it is possible to have MS WITHOUT lesions according to the National MS Society. It was my BAER test that showed lesion, affecting the VIII cranial nerve. I only mention this as many believe that you MUST have a lesion somewhere in the brain to be diagnosed with MS. This is not always the case. :-) (I do have a small lesion in my cerebellum, as well.)

[@punjabistylz6301]

lesions on cranial nerves will show in a MRI....also - cerebellum is part of the CNS.

[@terri4931]

Yes, I know the cerebellum is part of the CNS. I'm in the medical field. My point was one does not have to have lesions to have MS.

[@kenaicanna8123]

oh no!!! I have been told you need several lesions (MULTIPLE ) to have Multiple sclerosis. And my son had some in his cerebellum and they said he doesn't have MS! And I do and it runs in my family! Time for a new MRI!

[@whizzyproduction]

@@kenaicanna8123 I new MRI is likely useless

[@DrDinooshDeLivera]

Thanks!

[@sharayrichburg4363]

learning about this life changer..😢😥

[@gamaltaher9714]

Good, thanks

[@sharmilasenthamizselvan1846]

simply amazing 👍

[@marcusvincent4273]

Have been confirmed negative of MS, thank you Dr mason channel on KZbin..indeed your medications works wonders..keep saving lives

[@ahmer6991]

Great video! Thanks a much.

[@drmathias9248]

excellent

[@terri4931]

Not all cases of MS patients have lesions on their MRI.........

[@pwbmd]

Terri - Possibly. These lectures are geared towards medical licensing boards. Hence the focus on “classic” cases. On boards questions, all patients with MS will have lesions. But in reality it’s not always as simple as on boards. Thanks for the input.

[@MuhammadAli-sd1bs]

This shit got me since 14 and it's annoying af

[@sharminfaraj5550]

I had TMJ it means it is psychology......

[@manuzacharias1989]

Hi I had all dese symptoms for 8 years. My neurologist asked me to do mri of brain it was normal my vit d level is low . Do I need to do mri again?

[@kellibarnhouse6591]

YES! Low Vit D is one of the First signs of MS! Pressure your Neurologist to do Brain and full spine MRIs! Problems with heat tolerance and any muscle weakness is another sign! Brain Fog, Itchy skin, dizzyness, tired all the time! Keep on top of your symptoms! Make a daily record of your symptoms, Flare ups come and go!
