Dr B..the "break it down "neuro. This is one of your gifts, you are able to help share your knowledge by breaking down info and setting attainable goals that REALLY HELP. Because of you, I have increased my water intake, exercise, and I have a sleep routine. Not to mention the fact that I know so much more about MS...knowledge is power. I too will one day be coming to Ohio to shake your hand and give you a cup of coffee. Thank you ..keep breaking it down Dr. B

My amazing neurologist just ordered a Neurofilament test since I got diagnosed with rrms in 2004 at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. I’m 43 now and my Multiple Sclerosis has no new lesions in 2 years and I have been on ocravus for 3 years with no new lesions with extreme progression. Thank you for the amazing video

[meloneyparker]

Whomever gave this a thumbs down is a giant goober. This is your best video yet. So informative. No one else gives this information and in such a understandable way. Your channel keeps me sane in a time when I have lost a lot of functionality in my life. 👍👍

[giftboutiq]

I’m a big mush...I get tears in my eyes every time I learn something new from you. One I have to drive out to Ohio just to shake your hand.

[Calamitygirlchannel]

Dr. Boster, I appreciate you and your videos so much! I wish you were closer to Jackson Hole, WY🧡

[maryc]

Great, informative video. I hope you know how appreciated you are!

[Matthewgreen]

Thank you for this great information. I’m now one of your subscribers. I’ve learned a lot but will need to watch this a few more times to truly better understand it. I have PPMS. I’m doing only 1 of the 4 things you mentioned, and that is Ocrevus. My doctor prescribes Vitamin D but I haven’t been taking it but I will do so. I also don’t exercise but I’m going to start. I’ve never smoked.

I was diagnosed at 18yrs old fall of 2000, fresh off of high school! I have had definite exacerbation times usually three or four a year, I’m considered RRMS even after “growing up” with MS and thankfully I’m completely mobile, your videos are extremely educational and explain this horrible MSter for newly diagnosed or people looking for info. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

안녕하세요 박사님 ppms 겪고 있는 동양인입니다 ppms 대해 생소했지만 많은 자료와 도움주셔서 감사합니다

I started smoking when I was 11 years old... I am now 38.. I stoped smoking cold turkey 7 months ago and I have noticed a change for the better! Not sure what type of ms I have.

[CL_Easterling]

Thank u, doc., I've learned more about this disease in a week from your videos than I have from outside doctors since my diagnosis in 2009.

[janicem]

So I was diagnosed with PPMS today. Not a lot of options available. I was sent home to eat well, get lots of exercise and see him again in six months. I am 63 years old.

[stephaniemorton]

Thank you for this video it is very informative. I have not yet been diagnosed with MS as I await an MRI this week but I am trying to learn more about it and your videos help tremendously.

[shelveyphillipsbowman]

That was the most well explained of MS I have heard

[pamadasilva]

I scrolled down to add my comment doctor... but then giftbouting has already expressed it . Yes, tears in my eyes...no doctor have ever educated us as you do....this video is so extensive...you have spent much time and energy to educate the helpless MS patients ...but i feel i am improving by listening to your videos and abiding by them. That helpless feeling i used to have is now diminishing, i feel. May God Bless you and keep you healthy and happy.

[giftboutiq]

Last med I used was Tecfidera (number five so far) and had severe anaphylactic symptoms after one day. I do need to try another one for sure. BTW...Happy Memorial Day! I salute you as an honored MS warrior!

[sheridanrose]

I’m 64 and I was diagnosed 2011. I learned about MS when my friend was diagnosed in 1995 and I would think hmm I do that sometimes. As I researched I m realizing and believe I’ve had MS since my late 20s early 30s. Foot catching, missteps, walking into things, fatigue, cogfog, imbalance, feet numbness still and since 30s. Multiple work injuries that never quite seem to heal completely. Nothing happened regularly to even consider a problem so I didn’t bring it up. Except I’d complain about numbness and dr would poke with a pin, I’d react so no problem. 🤷🏻‍♂️A steady slow progression I think. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[keithriemersma]

Excellent analysis and explanation, thanks very much for your insight and wonderful work Keith in Michigan

[dougtagg]

I take Sunday off from my weekly exercise routine to have coffee and today watch your video on ppms. It’s my personal quest since I was diagnosed at 59y.o. Thank you for this video, Doug coffee in hand from Lyndhurst, Ohio

[cynthiacamilarsen]

Finally it arrived! 25.17. Mins... Yay! & thx u very much Dr. Arron boster!

~A Glorious, Eye Opening Depiction... Of ppms and progression too. But somehow u did it in a heartlifting educational way, i can honestly say i have never turned a way disheartened, or more distrot before i clicked a video here, im always uplifted, for u have shed a light apon it...
~ Its why i appeicate ur videos so much, in this channel, for when it feels as though we are in the dark or have reached a speedbump in our own care. We stilll have this m.s. village. And i very much appricate that.

I especially loved where u flashed ur video feed when you were speaking about a certian topic in leaky pool.as i always wanted the long medical version of leaky pool, i just never asked.
N Maybe u didnt do it on purpose. But i found it helpful. For this m.s. patient with way too many leasions and no DMT on bored. (Trust me i tried, i now give ☝)
My failures in this disease are now why i try to help everyone else so much and well that's also just my kind givin nature my parents instilled apon me maybe...

Again thanks so much..

~furthermore in closing,
I appriciate all the time u spent to craft this for her. For im sure she is beyond greatful, i hope it resinated apon her as it did to me. And i hope she's stable on this day.

For isent it true
"Its only in darkness, where we can truely see the light. "
Paraphrase?


I think of that statement, to purtain to ppms. And all of ms. Before this village

U truely do shed a light apon us, where before for alot of us we really were in the dark.

Wow,
What a dedication.

Sincerely,
Divine. :)
