I have had MS for nearly 10 years and I have never had it explained to me quite like this! I am so grateful for this information. Please keep sending it!

[@MSViewsandNews]

You are so welcome!

[@sunniedee4567]

I was diagnosed with MS the week of my 60th birthday, two months ago. I've had random symptoms for at least 30 years but no doctor would connect the dots even though an MRI 38 years ago showed lesions. I was finally able to convince my PCP to refer me to a neurologist. I'm currently not being treated but my next appointment is in a week and a half and I hope my neurologist is on the same page as Dr. Boster. I've learned so much by watching him.

[@flapkatt6094]

Yeah I'm an army veteran, did my time in the USA nurse corps. I check this channel every day! Thank you Dr. Boster, for what you do. You have given hope and inspiration for those with MS, and even better you have made us VISIBLE!

[@MSViewsandNews]

Thank you for your comment

[@nancybenilde6779]

This Dr is a MS Hero! 👍🧡😍

[@gabbyfranks78]

Well said Dr 👏👍well said!! I have MS. Been following you almost 2 years, shortly after diagnosis. Everything you say has been dead on. You haven't said anything misleading, straight to the point. I think it should be a law if diagnosed with MS it is mandatory too listen to your lectures. You saved my life. I was depressed which in turn made me think about suicide. MS is a new way of life, but its my life. You gave me hope and knowledge. I hope you know how special you are. FYI I think you should have merchandise for you channel. I would buy a mug shirt hat etc. Saying something clever like "Team Boster PLEASE". Anyway in my head your my friend. Thank you for all you do.

[@Tns85]

this guy truly understand s ms and what it does to us

[@leventerethelyi8461]

You're the first person who understands how I feel.

[@Yllohyllod]

This is the BEST talk given on MS that I've ever seen, or heard. I love Dr. Boster's communication style (he's kind of nerdy in a cool way. Love the Harry Potter reference), and he really gets it. He understands what we deal with daily while living with MS. So glad I watched.

[@BrittFulli]

He is so incredibly intelligent!!!! I’m 30 with PPMS,and recently had a seizure 😢!

[@bigrigchristfollower9020]

Please make sure you get on the highest efficacy drug you can, I recently in December of 2022 was diagnosed after I started having debilitating issues and I am 41 and haven't been able to work but my issues are able to get better with Physical therapy and getting on a DMT for Multiple Sclerosis. I pray you are doing well and just know you can have a good life living with Multiple Sclerosis 😊.

[@janewatts135]

Dr. Boster you really do understand us MSers, as I stated a couple of weeks ago you are an Earth Angel thank you for being you. Fantastic video so complete, you make it all understandable. Jane Co. Mayo Ireland

[@TAmenRa3]

I am so grateful to have heard these You Tube videos. Now I just wish that my neurologist was a bit like him. Informative and compassionate.

I wished this guy was my ms specialist. How can a person with ms contact and get a appointment with him. Reminds me of my past neurological doctor. I miss him

[@katloverstoddard4698]

I would just love to get in to see him, unfortunately I currently have no health insurance so I would be interested in clinical trials. I am only 45- to an hour from where he is. Diagnosed 17 years ago, currently 48 yrs old and am not ready to become disabled. My disease went from rather mild to 3 nasty attacks in the past 9 months

[@lordzmusic8461]

@@katloverstoddard4698 are you okay now ..... before 17 years what the very first symptoms did u see ?? Can we see with our eyes still in optic neuritis?

[@bigrigchristfollower9020]

I saw your post and hope you get this message but you can call the Ohio Boster Center and your first appointment will have to be in person but he can do Tele health visits after is what I was told when I called and he is approved for other states to treat.

[@vanhorne9376]

GREAT JOB Dr Boster

[@jeffreylaw3754]

I had Lemtrada in Oct 2015 no NEW lesions but my Pain is a 100x worse than before Lemtrada. No new relapses and the pain is SO bad there days I can't get my head up off pillow.

Copaxone year 2 - no new lesions

[@REV-ux6ph]

Thank God,I started with Copaxone And I could not Breathe So i switched to Rebif

[@Rprayhard4u]

After 18 yrs of injections (copaxine) I started having reactions to the med. I went off and haven't been on ms meds since. I know Dr Aaron wouldn't be thrilled with this. Because of the compromise on my white blood cells and pneumonia (interstitial lung dz. Is present), I am afraid of infection with a new ms med. Any suggestions? [e-mail]

[@CLH884]

I really like the this Dr. Especially after he said he jams to beastie boys! I like his spunk.he seems really concerned about his patients.

Where can I get interaction with my doctor like you provide for all of us? I know you might say you got to talk to your commission or your doctor and I do but it’s just not the same as I am watching the video I don’t feel sad or depressed when I’m watching your videos anytime I’m talking about my Mz with anyone at all I am very sad and very depressed almost all day I am on disability now I am not working for the past four or five years I am not like in my life I do not leave the house just like you said because I have bladder issues so I just sit here nothing even works I’m using catheters all day long that’s what I do with my time it seems to be thank you please teach all these other guys to be like you

Oldie but goodie

[@laurah3282]

Dr. Boster this is off topic but need to ask you about a recent incident. I have tiny veins and receive ocrevus infusions. A Dr told me to always use a butterfly needle. So after being stuck with a regular IV needle 8 times. They finally got it but once again midway through my veun collapsed. So yes they finally used butterfly needle. So instead of usiing butterfly needle. The Dr tells me I need to get a port (surgerical procedure) or change my disgnosis so she can give me a different medication. I have PPMS. she wants to change it to secondary primary progressive. I feel as a patient if a butterfly iv needle works why cant they use it? My tuny veins like the butterly Needle. Is it me? My tiny veins await your answer.

[@MSViewsandNews]

we will share your comment with Boster

[@pameladubin1138]

Just as a general question, what are the differences in treatment path between Lemtrada and Tysabri?

[@MSViewsandNews]

please send email to us at: [e-mail] and we will send to Dr. Boster for his response ....

[@Tns85]

no new lesions though

[@vickydittfield9822]

You convinced me to take a (brain )shrink-slowing rate of atrophy therapeutic medication... But I read at 65 I no longer am a candidate!- Other than diet Vit D, and natural anti inflammatory agents , biotin etc. what else can I do?

[@zaviahopethomas-woundedsou9848]

Dr Terry Wahl has a diet program that took her from being almost bed ridden to walking again! She has MS and you can find many of her interviews on KZbin and she has written books too!

Hi there 🤗 On my Brain MRI it only show 2 single small lesions: 1 Brainstem (Pons) And 2: very small lesion in my C5 (Cervical Spine) But my reflex are OK Just some bilateral leg buckling sometimes, stiffness and some mild tremors with fatigue.. Neurologist isn't worried at all.. It might just be that the lesions appear too small or is just the MRI machine lighting or refraction?? Help- anybody.. please!r

[@bigrigchristfollower9020]

Get on a high edvicacy drug don't wait to get worse, my opinion and Aaron Boster says same thing but if you are not comfortable he will not force.

[@Tns85]

iv been on tysabri for a year and have relapsed many times. i think i may have permanent foot drop

[@MSViewsandNews]

If relapsing on Tysabri - you should speak with your neuro to put you onto something else

[@Tns85]

a fever though can cause a flare

[@johnp.etherington8614]

Ever heared of PPMS ????...

[@MSViewsandNews]

PPMS is discussed in most of our programs... There is medication for this too
