Gee, it’s emotionally wonderful (over here in Australia) to see a doctor who is so passionate about education regarding MS. I struggle so much with Secondary-Progressive MS combined with Schizophrenia, CPTSD, Primary and Secondary Lympoedema and (apparent) Fibromyalgia/Central Sensitisation Syndrome.
To have an educator like yourself so passionately out there on the web is wonderful, healing and hopeful.
Thankyou so much. ❤️

Sleep? What is that? 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Lucky if I get 3 hours a day. Sing us a lullaby Dr. B!

These conversations and discussions are merited not just during MS Awareness month. This is exactly what we can find on Aaron's channel. MS pain are hidden symptoms that are persistent, distressing & can impact our quality of life. Having a Neurologist like Aaron giving brief lectures here are refreshing and a welcome addition to this platform!!

With every smile, giggle, and moment of laughter, that is one moment that MS pain did not win!
Finding joy in the little things, the spiritual things and even laughing at ourselves in our oopsies and droppsies is important in relieving stress.
Water is Wonderful for drinking and for being in - cools you down and makes is easier to move around!

I'm saving this one to my playlists so I can watch it again right before my next neurology appointment. You've given me so many things that I can discuss with my own Doctor, and I truly appreciate it. Thanks Doctor Boster!

Your videos are not only informative and relatable but funny/entertaining also. Thank you immensely Dr B, you rock!! 😍

I've been struggling with increased pain for the last month or so. It interrupts my sleep (vicious cycle) and I can't seem to find the right combination of meds, lifestyle and behavioral changes to make a real difference. Such a frustrating experience! But once again you've given me a few things to take to my medical team to explore further. I wish I lived closer to Columbus! I'd totally come see you and get your direction officially on my case. Maybe some day!

So much effort trying to live a more or less kind of a normal life... It's awfully draining! 😔

[jeffscott]

Thank you for this information. I have found that if I can minimize the pain by using baclofen, lots of exercise and making music I can accept that I am going to be in some pain. So for me acceptance is also a way of dealing with it.

I am so happy to hear you say that that MS patients have pain! I have had so many ER doctors tell me that MS patients don’t have pain and I’m just a drug seeker! I used to be an RN and I really never new that MS patients had pain! But holly crap every night the pain comes. And when I get sick like a UTI - pain! With any relapse PAIN!!! And the doctors don’t want to believe me! Tylenol does not work! and pain causes anxiety.... it’s a terrible cycle

I pump iron every other day working opposing muscles. It DOES help. 100% true regarding aqua aerobics. Retired certified fitness instructor and taught this three times a week. Every client relayed to me that they feel so much better.

When I was diagnosed with M.S. I told myself I have to get in the best shape of my life, so as an ex collegiate athlete, I hit the gym. There are days when I feel like poop, but when those endorphins kick in, I forget I have M.S. I believe a lot of pains are due to inactivity. On a Wednesday I had chemo on Thursday I went to the gym. I was short of breath, I was a little light headed, but for my sanity, I had to do it. The only disability in life, is a bad attitude.

[kathpazda]

Thank you so much for all your words. I suffer from terrible TN, but you help give me the strength to keep on. Such helpful advice.

Dealing with stress as my hubby has been in the hospital twice in one week due to acute pancreatitis. I’ve been his nurse at home and it definitely wears me out.

[giftboutiq]

found the CD’s by Bellruth Naparstek (Health Journeys) have helped me a great deal. She has a web site as well as finding these on Amazon. She has lots of CD’s for mindfulness, MS, anxiety, depression, healthful sleep, and the list goes on.

Great video. Best video on MS pain I have seen and I’ve watched many. I’m glad I found your YT channel. Sleep profoundly affects my MS pain. Before taking a pill I first try a nap. If I drink soda my spine will start burning. I drink seltzer water. I have difficulty walking but strolling slowly across the room as long as I can will calm pain. Sitting calmly in silence will calm spasms and pain. I vape Cannabis and Hemp oil. It is profoundly effective and needs to finally be studied seriously. Thanks!

Hey Dr. B! Yesterday my neurologist gave the same answer as you did. That if i am having no worsening of symptoms, living life and tolerating meds well I should stay on the med I am on. (Mri showed no new lesions and improvements on the ones that are there!) He said that if I switch insurance may not cover a new one when it comes available. That new things are in trials. I told my husband that I will wait and see what new dmd come available. I said that if anything new comes on the market Dr. B will teach me about it. I realized even though we haven’t met you are part of my team. I want to thank you for all you do! You are making a difference in so many lives! Anyways thank you for be awesome Aaron! Happy Fourth of July to you and your family! 😊😁😃
