You rock, Dr Aaron! Thanks for making MS information understandable. I've had ms for 8 yrs now.

[Snooty-Pookie]

Cool to know that I can’t stop this in my brain 😅 I’m pretty severe and have these black holes, I try not to think about it much.

[kelly-bo-belly]

Thank you. I’m going to watch the longform now. This is information that doctors just don’t talk with us about.

[RuthMysak]

Thank you for the info, ive had 3 MRI scans in 25 years not one consultants thought it worthy to discuss my MS with me. I have SPMS, Ive not seen a neuro for over 3 years now BUT i find you have supplied me with enough info for them to he afraid very afraid when i eventually get my yearly 5 minute slot. You take care and keep up the fantastic work.

Oh crap! So I also get a smaller brain than average with ms?!😢😮
Was diagnosed one month ago…but I’ve probably had it for at least 13 years without knowing it. This makes me really sad 😢

I would benefit from more MRI interpretation videos,
Although I have access to all of my historical Digital MRI's, the "ehat am I looking at" is my gap,
I will obviously never be able to medically interpret the images, but to have an idea what I'm looking at and looking for would be great.
Thanks Dr B, much appreciated,
Brad, Western Australia. 👍🤜🤛

Is this done with a dye during the mri?

[Callummullans]

Would you say it’s more notable near the ventricles and if so could this inhibit the lymphatic flush of REM sleep?

Just wondering if you've ever talked about NMOSD (Devic's disease)? My 27 yr old son was recently diagnosed with MS after his 1st (and horrific) flare up. Thankfully we saw an amazing Neurologist who noticed the AQP4 on his blood test or MRI and changed his diagnosis from MS to NMOSD, which he now gets Rituximab infusions for 4x's a year. Apparently many people who are diagnosed with MS actually have Devic's disease instead. I just think more people should be aware of this bc the medicine for MS can REALLY harm people who actually have NMOSD

What stage and type of MS are you showing here? I have RRMS and had my recent follow up scan and received my results yesterday. I have many T1 Hyperintense lesions in different parts of my brain that are present but have stabilised from being enhancing. I’m on Ocrevus so it appears to have stopped them from growing. I was only diagnosed this year after a year of symptoms. Seeing this video, is this someone who has had RRMS or SPMS/PPMS? Or does it not matter and everyone with MS has accelerated atrophy?

[MilliX]

So is this what my neurologist meant by saying that the purpose of Tysabri is to prevent the ms from spreading to my brain?

[julie]

If I had expected tbe reality check I wouldn't have watched this one. Hard to accept it. Still waiting to decide on meds that don't completely wipe out immunity.

[kaydoe]

What type of MS does this patient have and what type did they begin with?
Is this scan indicating severe disability?

[deanlewis]

I'm 57 with RRMS for at least 10 years now. diagnosed 3 years ago. on DMT Aubagio for 1.5 years now. I bounced back but not completely after last major relapse 3 years ago. I'm starting to struggle more with cognition. Can my MS lead me to Dimentia? my father had it at 55.

[Muslim-nhis]

my mond is hatd to control now

[henp]

They don't even describe mine as lesions anymore if they call it atrophy my corpus colossal. Is also. I've been 2 years since being diagnosed.

[Rose]

Wow so scary. I get my brain and neck results tomorrow from my neurologist after she has not seen me in over 4 years. I try not to think about it, but I wish she would take this disease serious and stop denying me a DMT. I have been diagnosed with MS since 2015.

[tinytattoomike]

Terrifying
I have a little shrinkage but no new lesion’s been on ocrevus for 2 years just started Ampyra I think it might be helping my walking

[henp]

You are the only reason why I know anything about my progressive. Multiple sclerosis that in 2 years as made me be in a wheelchair most of the time.
