My father who is currently 89 years old was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis when he was 68, ever since he has although been living a peaceful life and it hasn't really impacted him, although he has eye vision loss and has hurt himself a couple of times due to his lack of vision, i took him to his local doctor and the doctor said he was going to be fully blind by the time he turned 70, but I'm glad he could still see after all these years, he does wear glasses though.

[@skrozneobican]

Unbelievable how much effort, knowledge, love and passion you put into this video. You are inspiring. Thank you!

[@mohamedadel-mt2bh]

As a medical student, i've never found any medical content better than yours, keep it up

[@SilverAscension]

I'm not a medical student but I have MS your video just explained the parts I understood so much that even going to MS events never did about why some of the newer DMT's target things like B & T cells. Great video ,

Take all my med school tuition fee like you rightfully deserve. You make things make sense so well. Kudos to the whole team and God bless you all. ❤😊

[@tiffuhkneejeannine]

man I've had MS since I was 17 (I'm 32 now) and your video taught me more than most of the informative stuff I was given when I was diagnosed. you're doing amazing things, dude. keep on being amazing!

[@tiffuhkneejeannine]

@Penny migraines can really mess with you, but I don't think any of those are really symptoms aside from the numbness - which wouldn't ever really go away.

[@hazelem1266]

How are you doing now?

I'm doing my MSc Clinical Neuroscience in the UK and your videos are extremely helpful and supportive. I just want to thank you a lot! Please continue the fantastic work to do

[@natileelipe7675]

I’m in the hospital and just diagnosed with MS. She was such a fun and thoroughly informative explanation. It answered all my questions so far and was so easy to follow. Thanks so much!

[@brookenewlin6971]

I am trying to get my BSN and I am thrilled that I found your channel! Your teaching method is great for me because you have a way of simplifying the science and pathophysiology behind the disease. You are a true lifesaver! Thank you!

[@andreacosta591]

22 pages in our textbook simplified in a 54 min lecture. Thank you so much, Zach and the whole Ninja Nerds Staff. 😊

[@nadwahonwi7858]

Right On! Amazing Prof Zach... I am also impressed with his knowledge and verbal ability to simplify complicated things. Did he just eat the textbook or what? :)

Which textbook are u following?

[@simran550]

22 pages woah 😨

[@suvikhyasiingh]

at least you all have this chapter, in our curriculum we don't have this essential lesson, not even little mention of multiple sclerosis in any form.

[@jowoo919]

I've been researching a lot about the immune system after finding myself quite interested with the Vaccine debate and understanding the underlying processes in our body. It is shocking how complex they are and how long it has taken to develop this level of understanding of all the cell types and interactions and its quite fascinating. My father has MS and is unfortunately in the severely disabled group with an EDSS Score ~9. I'm still in the first few minutes of this video but wanted to say I love that you are that kind of unassuming extremely intelligent person who is comfortable just being you. I also love your enthusiasm and way of presenting information! So cheers!!

[@theresam9513]

I was diagnosed with MS one year ago. Cannot wait to watch.

Cure yourself with the paternal pheromone (source from any man's face). Just be sure to handle it with care, plenty of ventilation and wear a respirator collecting the pheromone (tare, rub his face with chewing gum, weigh, record about 10mg/dose and as tolerated.)

[@francescaitta4775]

You are passionate and ispiring. An entire generation of med students can't thank you enough.

[@salvadorhirth1641]

When you mentioned that macrophages can reach neurons through the brain blood barrier at 11:48, that made me remember that sometimes spirochetes can invade and remain inside macrophages. Excellent lecture!

[@mubal2965]

Probably one of the most interesting ninja nerd videos I've seen so far, I understood everything once and from the start, thank you Zach💜💜

[@aymenmezaache4670]

Thank you so so much. I had my first MS relapse 12 years ago, but thanks to you, I know more about my condition than I ever did before in one single beautiful video.

And did you experience any other relapse after that?

[@chooseaname1423]

Thank you so much for this detailed video. I’m a patient with a “mystery disease” with specialists that all want to pass the buck and none of them are coordinating so I’m binging youtube videos hoping for an aha moment. I’m already diagnosed with several things, but none of them fully explain my debilitating symptoms. I was an OR nurse working in Robotics and Informatics and having the time of my life. At 32 I got a virus and all hell broke loose. I’ve been looking for answers for 6 years and haven’t been able to work. I would have diagnosed myself by now, but it’s affecting my memory and executive functioning so I can’t keep it together long enough to see it clearly. My husband has since left me and I’m waiting on disability, but I should have been diagnosed and on proper treatment years ago. I’m appalled by the state of our the medical system. I appreciate doctors like you that care so much and take the time to explain in detail because that’s what helps make a diagnosis for patients with complicated profiles. I wish to God I could find doctors that dont just run a CBC and say you’re normal because the labs say so and if you ask for more they say it’s all anxiety. 🙄 I got lucky with one great cardiologist that they nicknamed “the brain”….he’s very much like you. He discovered I had several conditions under the umbrella of Dysautanomia and sent me to a Dysautanomia clinic where I found another doctor who is loads more helpful than most, but has no time to explore additional diagnosis because there are so few Dysautanomia clinics and now they’re overloaded by covid longhaulers. Will you please please please add a video on Dysautanomia and coexisting conditions like EDS and mast cell disorders to your neuro playlist? It’s incredibly life altering as it is, and despite these not even being that rare, doctors are not recognizing them. Last time I checked, it takes an average of 7 years for diagnosis! There are so few Dysautanomia clinics that many of us have to cross several state borders to get help. I’m lucky to be in Washington where we have 2, but they’re so backed up that I can only get 2 appointments a year and med management is a nightmare. Despite my official diagnosis, most doctors look at me like I’m crazy when they see my symptoms list. Our patient support groups have thousands of posts from women being told they’re “just anxious” and need therapy and a life. Its so cruel. We need more awareness and I’m sure any of the organizations such as Dysautonomia International would pay you to do a video just for the awareness it would bring. One other video request I have is possibly something you don’t do on your channel, but the Autistic community desperately needs the attention of medical students and doctors. The mortality rate in this group is terrible. There are so many barriers for this group to even reach a physician, but even when they do, they struggle to communicate and are misunderstood. Many die very young and there is a very high suicide rate. Alexithymia (which is common even in the general population) makes it really difficult to feel, understand and explain what is happening in the body so a physician needs to assist these patients with extra questions and prompts. It’s important to raise awareness because health problems are rampant in the autistic community due to lifelong trauma and being prone to certain conditions. It would be wonderful if you could add a video about consults and how to treat certain patient populations. I’ve recently been diagnosed with Autism myself and realized that it has been a contributor to my delayed diagnosis. Hopefully you can help these two patient groups out 🙏🏻

hello sir. My name is axel, 24 years old from Algeria. im 2018 i went to dentist to fix my teeth then went home after probably a week i started feeling numbness in my hand, troubles speaking, and diplopia. the the symptomes relieved without any meds, after almost 8 months i started having symptoms like lost in balance, troubles speaking clearly, diplopia again, and lost in taste and smell. i went to many doctors and they requested an MRI on my brain and spinal chord. the MRIs showed that i have demyelinating lesions on both spinal chord and CNS, been through a spinal tab and the IGg index was positive awell, and in the serology test i ve found that i have been infected of with HBV and the viral load was extremely high 9.42 log. i started taking the antivirals, and continued my diagnosis for the brain infection, been through a second spinal tab for HBV serology of Celebro spinal fluid and the results were positive after a year if research i have been diagnosed with MS and stared taking interferons which i couldnt handle. stopped it under doc's supervision and now am back on it since theres no alternative and no much meds here in Algeria now i have two questions if u may - can the hbv cross the bbb ? - did the hbv trigger my brain dymelination? i ve been searching lately and i found this article about ADEM, and started wondering whether i might mistakenly diagnosed. i would really pleased if answer, am so lost and cant find answers to my case. thank you so much.

[@aaronmonheim6428]

Ninja Nerd, thank you for this video. I was diagnosed with highly-active disease (HAD) RRMS in Oct. of 2019 and this far and away the best video I have ever seen on MS. I do not have a medical background, but I have read extensively since my diagnosis. This is the most approachable video I have seen and I have already sent it to my MS specialist for her to share with her patients. From one nerd to another, if you haven’t heard/read about autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT) for MS, I encourage you to do so. It is fascinating and I believe this is the closest thing to a cure that we have. Thanks again for the video!

[@NinjaNerdOfficial]

Thanks so much for the additional information for us to look into. We wish you the absolute best and have a great rest of your weekend!

[@kathys8701]

Thank you sooooo much for your invaluable KZbin’s! I was diagnosed w/ MS 2/2021 at age 63. Doctors suspect I’ve had MS since at least 1987 … when I was diagnosed UCLA Jules Stein w/ pars planitis. I consulted 3 neurologists + numerous specialists (Mayo AZ, Cedars, USC + UCLA) over 3 1/2 years before diagnosis. Initial symptoms that came + went over time: bi lateral leg weakness, toe tingling that moved up the legs to waist, calf spasticity, fatigue, hand + foot tremors, difficulty speaking + eventually on hot day (88°) significant difficulty moving legs. My age + bilateral symptoms are both less common, causing delay in diagnosis. So grateful to you for helping educate about MS. If I can ever support your efforts, please know it will be my pleasure + I welcome contact.

But more so, a lot of them are doctors, researches etc - and each of them effect hundreds/thousands of people lives.

I’m a retired veteran since I’ve been 33. My body gave out, and, I think I know why my eye sight goes in my right eye, why I’m always falling. Canada’s health care system is in shambles right now so getting a doctor to see me about this will be challenging but, I’ve exhausted all other reasons for these strange symptoms to be occurring so, I’m done looking at horses and I’m going to punch the zebra so to speak lol.
