Omg!! This is what I’ve been so confused about. My doctor makes me feel like if I have no new spots then I “should be fine”. I feel so validated. Thank you for posting this ❤️🙏🏼

Hi, Aaron. Thanks for all that you do for MS sufferers. As a psychiatrist, I have clinical interest in this topic and as a husband, my wife is impacted by MS as well. Not only do you provide wonderful insights to your patients, but your approach and communication skills have taught me a lot about patient education as well. Keep up the good work!

[beckymoran]

I like how you break it down so the non medical people can understand it. You communicate really well. I bet your patients really appreciate that.

I just recently discovered your channel. I was diagnosed last year with PPMS. I visited NIH in Bethesda MD in November for a study they were doing. I am 56 and have had some back issues, life as a pipe fitter. So pain was always an issue . Long story as to how MS even came about. Absolutely love your channel. I watched most of your live stream and was able to watch this one. I am in SC and for a better word, 3-4 hours away from any good care. I just recently started checking out MS videos here on YouTube, I promised my wife I’d stay away from them. I’m going to have her watch some with me. Thank goodness for the ability to be able to access these! Great work and looking forward to more from you!

Being someone who has MS vs. someone who treats MS, I would add a thing and hope for a second. I watched a video from Dr. Beaber's channel that showed data that indicated not only a link, but to me, an almost causal relationship with EB virus and Mono and MS. To me, that is flying under the radar because if MS is caused in large part by Mono, effective and safe vaccines would totally be a game changer. Lastly, being advanced in my disease progression, re-myelination therapies are the only thing that would make me truly hopeful for my quality of life and while there is research ongoing, so far, there are no therapies I'm aware of. BTW Dr. Boster, your channel was a huge game changer for me! My ability to navigate my situation improved beyond expression when I found you! Thank you!!!

It is so cool having a great doctor speak on such a normal person level. You do a great job of explaining complex concepts in an easy to understand way. Thanks for all you do and especially these videos. They help me understand my daughter's issues a lot.

Thank you so much for this! It's always been confusing and angering to me that my neurologist acts like like if there's no new lesions then yay, party, as if my slow, life impacting, soul crushing deterioration isn't even happening. It feels like anything about new lesions medicine listens to and everything else I'm on my own.

[ja_ii]

I’m glad he addressed the no new lesions situation. You can progress without new lesions. True facts. Some doctors just suck. He’s good

Thanks Dr. Boster! It is so nice to see you excited for the future of MS and its treatment.

Thanks for discussing "smoldering. " I've always felt like, despite that I don't/haven't ever had noticeable relapses, MS has just been smoldering in me.

[__Wanderer]

Love the concept of a neurofilament light chain blood test. Sounds great :)

[youserguide]

Great info! My neuro has mentioned Smoldering Lesions for years, and most recently I’m putting two & two together: Since I’ve been on Ocrevus (5 yrs), I’ve improved a lot! I’m still disabled, but I no longer need the daily use of a rollator or cane, and my cog function has improved a bit. I’m guessing that the Ocrevus keeps the smoldering down and is why I feel better. This drug changed my life! 🙏

[mariekershaw-bo]

At last I’m not going mad! Great topic delivered as usual, clearly and practically. Let’s hope this understanding is widely adopted

[sarakjtzm]

This is for me. Thank you! PPMS on Ocrevus, slowly getting worse. Actually not so slowly. It isn't all about the lesions.

Dr. Boster, Bones McCoy has nothing on you :). Missed your go-live Sunday 7/9/23 but watched the replay. Congratulations on 50K. While I watch, I read some comments, AMAZING the impact, hope, and clarity you are providing to people impacted by MS. I don't know much about the snap chat filters but I love that you do them to have fun. It humanizes you as a Dr., makes the info less intimidating, and what I get out of it is that even with MS it is important to have fun. Thank you.

[philippaellis]

Thank you for this - the talk of paradigm shift is very powerful. It feels to be a move towards treating the whole person and whole lived expe
rience of MS. The best care I've had here in the UK has always reflected this. The most powerful question for me has often been " What else is going on with you...?"

[jeanetteanderson]

Wow I have been binge watching you as I just found your channel 👍. My son is 48 and has aggressive MS. It took 9 months to see a specialist and 19 more months to get his first treatment here in Ontario. He has had it for a long time but didn't realize it was MS. He is progressing very rapidly. If anyone has anything to offer for help please let me know. I have learned so much from reading the peoples comments as well. Does anyone in Ontario know where to get a cooling vest? Thanks in advance. Thank you doctor for all your help and hard work you do for us.❤

Hello Dr. Boster, we MS international community need your help. Please talk about Marc Abreu a "doctor" who in Florida makes claims that with his thermic treatment he can cure Parkinson, Alzheimer and MS. It's not drama, it's dangerous! The treatment costs a lot of money and is especially promoted to Brasilians! MS community of brasil needs your help Dr Boster! Greets from Paris
