hi aaron. i’ve been an incomplete C3 quad (victim of a multiple stabbing attack 35 yrs ago). the older i get (75 now), i’m experiencing a definite and disturbing change of symptoms;increased trigeminal neuralga, extreme mentallus you seem to and muscular fatigue, increase cognitive impairment, urinary tract pain and half a dozen other symptoms of MS you’ve mentioned so far. could i ALSO have developed MS? Should I see my neurologist? are there tests that he could run to explain my deterioration? PS, i’m impressed with your extremely Unusual UA-cam presentation. plus, you seem to be having such FUN! THREE CHEERS!
Sometimes my MS sisters and brothers don't speak up because the community they are in only has a single MS specialist. So they have to go with the flow or not get treated. What can they do about that? Like you, I want to share and support. Knowledge is power. Thanks for all you do.
Great question! Only one close to me. I like her because she’s very blunt and doesn’t speak to me like I’m an idiot but know a few people in my locale who don’t appreciate her bluntness and technical speak. Wish they had another option because I want them to feel as comfortable as I do with their specialist.
🟪 Thank you for this video, Dr Boster. It helped me realize that the phantom smoke smells I was experiencing several years ago could have been among my 1st MS symptoms back when I had no clue I was getting MS. I was diagnosed with RRMS in March of 2021. These phantom smells disappeared over time and have not returned recently but I’m glad to know it’s a real symptom of MS and I wasn’t just crazy for smelling something no one else around me could ever smell. 👍
I was smelling smoke to but my neighbor smokes. Lol! I've just been sick with hives and feel like I have a hungover had GERD before that so I want to make sure it's not MS
cmon it’s a bit of fun and he said it was fun for him … this is an amazing opportunity not many doctors out there let alone ones specialising in a certain area because you do get an overwhelming amount of msgs and questions on top of your day to day life. What Dr Boster is doing for MS patients and cares/family like myself is absolutely PRICELESS.
This was great! I agree about the whole med cost. Its insane and we need to be able to receive proper care. The lack of knowledge in the overall public and also the doctors. Most People literally have never heard of MS and the ones that have dont understand Even neurologists lack education. My first neuro looked at me as if i was crazy when I asked if i could get MRI on my thoracic- that it only affects neck & brain. That shows the true lack of education.
I have all these neurological symptoms but there are a few that stand out to me: I had tremors in my left arm last year around this time and sometimes in my right but it was mostly in my left. Then a few weeks later I got up from my desk to walk out of my department and I got a few steps in and down I went. I was so confused as to why I tripped and fell. I just thought I was being my clumsy self. I hurt myself from the fall but then I got up and brushed myself off. I fell again a day later and realized my left foot wasn’t working right. I googled what this was and it said foot drop. I fell a few more times and then was sent to a doctor who sent me to get an AFO. I wore that for a few weeks and foot drop went away. Haven’t had it since. But my muscles are sooo weak. Another time - happened a year before this - I was waking and it was maybe 80-85 degrees outside and this was something I did regularly and i was about to walk up a hill to my apartment and my hands, arms, legs and feet started tingling. I started feeling dizzy and nauseous and faint. My legs felt like spaghetti and I needed to pee sooo bad. I forced myself to walk up this hill and I wanted to pass out. I finally got somewhat to the top but I knew I was gonna fall so I fell in the grass on the side and laid there and I lose bladder control and peed myself. I blacked out visually but was still conscious. Weirdest thing to ever happen to me!
Wow crazy. That second paragraph is what I'm getting with hives. I don't have MS but I get tingly feeling its so weird. I have had Gerd a week before this now hives, now I feel so damn hungover and haven't drank. I feel like I'm getting COvid again or something it's so weird. I'm just here to know more about MS because my cousin has it and I wanted to rule it out.
The filters were too distracting for me but I enjoy your enthusiasm and all the info. I have yet to meet a Dr. smart enough to figure out what all my symptoms amount to. Im tired of my dizzy spells, waking up with an earache from my tmj, bladder issues, stiffness, flu like body aches, fatigue on top of arthritic knees n back and trying to hold a job while falling apart and not having a Dr. that does me much good or tries to come up with a diagnosis.
I know you are trying to be loghthearted but I don't like those Snapchat faces. They are very disorientating for someone with MS and certain problems. Please stay with your normal lovely face. Thankyou.
i am a former boxer i saw legs just quit i worked extra hard to build legs and i was cutting the grass in my back yard and my legs just quit like a light switch shut off. 3 hrs later i could walk again. now not so good gotton much worse after time
The fact that you listed agoraphobia - 7:58 - is freaking me out! I have only recently begun to take that seriously in myself. Wow. Fan for life, Dr. Boster.
In fact, I’ve spent all these years with MS thinking, “it’s not so bad”. But I have experienced so many of these things. I just assumed everyone did. Honestly. I figured this was just primarily the sorrow of getting older, or having CPTSD, or your run of the mill regrets or maybe just because I didn’t care for myself very well because I was lazy. Honestly. Sigh. This list is blowing my mind.
Awesome video, wished I could’ve been on chat when you went live. I didn’t hear you touch on the symptom of tremors. While working a couple of weeks ago I was flashing a light inside a hole, and with my supervisor present looking inside the hole as well he noticed the light was moving. He asked if that was me doing that. I didn’t even realize that my hand was shaking. Now I’ve caught it a few times and notice when holding a flashlight, shining it into a dark area I notice the light moving, even if I don’t sense it with other senses. Can you do a video on tremors and ms?
It would be most helpful if you would do a video talking about the mental attacks with ms..every attack I suffer is literally hell..my family is terrorized with fear when I have a ms episode
Same. I have called them olfactory hallucinations. Sometimes if watching a movie I can smell things! (Plus, I remember experiencing this way back in the early 90s! When my MS was hardly bugging me!)
I suffered with TN for 34 yrs ,,, 3 yrs ago had a procedure by a nurlogist surgeon called ga mma. Knife it’s were they put a steel cage on your head screw it in your head go in a gamma knife mri thing they sap the nerve with radiation ,,,,, it took 8 months before pain stopped but have had no pain for 3yrs they did say it might come back had it done at Toronto western hospital if u want to talk to me about I’m willing if u have to you will do anything for the pain to stop
Thank you. I see. To have most,of,these symptoms which are all ascribed to fibromyalgia. Hmmm. Please don’t use those horrible lights coming out of,your eyes. Lights are a trigger for my vertigo and for fits
Thank you doctor for this information. We’re soo lucky to live in the age of information where a professionals life work is available to average people at a moment’s notice.
Is numbness and tingling and pins and needles feeling in the saddle area (groin and rear end) of the body common with MS? Also, is a feeling of wetness on the skin as if you spilled cold water on yourself a common symptom? I experienced that for about a month. I kept looking to see if my pants were wet.
HI DOC,I was dx with Secondary Adrenal insufficiency /addisons diereses form using Steroids for Ms and occipital injections . Now Im steroid dependent now ,to not have a adrenal crisis . Have you come across patients this has happened to? Its awful on top of MS to time steroids all day. thank you
I enjoy the filter. Makes me smile. I have issues w feeling & lack of feeling down there. Husband was no longer interested in intimacy. Have been diagnosed w lupus, sjogrens, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ddd , etc. Had surgery on both hands carpal tunnel, & also had surgery on my neck to remove a disc bc i had an impingement that was causing constant nerve pain. Now I'm having trouble walking & I'm unstable on my feet.
Love you!!! Learning so much!! Thank you!! I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and have developed Dysphonia. I just had a second opinion ENT consult on my vocal cords they are picture perfect and anatomically correct working as they should be so....he the ENT said lets get a MRI of my noggin lol. My mother had MS from 1998-2020. I was her caretaker. I gave up my career to be with her as she requested. I have had Dysphonia for 3 years not getting better after speech therapy. Could dysphonia be a MS symptom? I know its a possibility from what ur videos have said....I was a Registered Nurse before Rheumatoid Arthritis but now I am on disability since 2015. I take Methotrexate and Enbrel. I am wondering if the Enbrel could have brought something on. Anyway I have a MRI scheduled 8/28/24 to check out my brain. I enjoy learning and I miss being a RN. Thanks for your passion I can tell you really care about people and educating the patient, caretakers, everyone!! 🤗😘🌹
Symptoms neck spasticity difficulty breathing difficulty getting pars planitis/intermediate uveitis eye twitching difficulty moving legs … like walking in molasses, mud, in the pool
Thank you for all your helpful information. I was newly diagnosed at the beginning of January so this MS thing is all new to me. Not only are you helpful but funny 😂. I love the Snapchat filters. Makes it more entertaining.
I have been diagnosed recently with occipital neuralgia my neurologist did a nerve block the neck pain and headaches are horrible. Its been a little over 3 weeks and the pain is coming back. My next one is not till September doing pain patches in the meantime. Neurologist wanted me to see if I have lupus. Went to a Rheumatologist who said I have incomplete lupus. Just a positive ANA doesn't qualify one for a SLE diagnosis. Started Hydroxychloroquine though, don't know if doc will keep me on it because x-rays came back Osteoarthritis she said they treat that with different medications. My neurologist is curious to see how I do on Hydroxychloroquine I am very sensitive to taking medication. We know something autoimmune is going on with me. My neurologist sent me to the Vanderbilt MS clinic where she treats me for Occipital neuralgia. I hope I'm not on the path of a MS diagnosis. I have a awesome neurologist just like you sure she's going to get to the bottom of what's really going on. Many years ago a neurologist did a spinal tap because they suspected MS but at that time I was not diagnosed with MS.
I am new to all this. MRI in a few weeks. I suspect there may be something. Do you have any advice for me to specifically request the MRI tech, that increases the chance of gaining adequate film results, the first go around?? Specific to showing lesions, non lesions better?
I’m in UK 🇬🇧 so missed this sadly but loved it! May I ask an urgent question? I’m seeing a neurologist tomorrow and haven’t been diagnosed yet after 5 years of wait/watch ahgggggg. Yearly mri now shows new pons activity is this something I should point out as dissemination in space/time?? Frontal left lobe lesion also larger than 12 mths ago? Help needed I’m really useless when I get in the chair! Many worsening symptoms too thank you 🙏 I need some courage from you I’m 56. Times a priority
Thanks Dr. Boster. I really appreciate the time sink of learning and implementation of new software. It’s not trivial to learn on your own . It’s all great and as always learn something new about my disease.
The real trigger for me to know s flair is about to hsppen is I get snells in the sir thst are not possible st ghe time then did fly my left arm begins to swing rapidly and sny thing in the way hits the floor and if I’m walking I hit the floor most csll it z seizure of some kind I’ve had mono as s kid and another variation of mono
Hi! Love the set up you have. Thank you for doing this! I am just now being introduced to MS. I am a 54 year old woman, with 90% of the symptoms you are listing. I have had MRI's with and without contrast, and tons of blood work, am waiting on the, not so fun, Lumbar puncture, and have been referred to an MS specialist by my Neurologist, ugh! Anyway, I have a question on symptoms, not the symptoms themselves, but the frequency, duration, variation, and flare ups. My symptoms started 5 months ago and have been somewhat relieved with Gabapentin, however, it seems everyday is a new symptom with some that do not go away. As I sit here at my desk, I have a burning sensation on the top of my left thigh, that plagues me almost consistently now for more than a week, while last week, two nights in a row, dinner tasted awful to me but no one else in the house, and we are "foodies" who love to cook and do it pretty well. It just seems that everyday is different and the symptoms are ever changing. Is this typical? From what I know of my son's Fibromyalgia flare ups, they come and go. I also know he can be sick and in pain for months at a time. This is my confusion. How long can a flare up last, and do the symptoms change throughout that time? (I hope this makes sense) Any insight?
Nice to see a lighthearted yet informative video. The snapchat filters are a fun visual, but until you learn the program, they do interrupt the flow. Thanks for all you do Dr. B!
My neurologist thought that I had MS, but apparently celiac disease can mimic MS, and I have all the symptoms of MS, but don’t have it. Just weird to me!
I have recently had either pseudo "barbar" affect or as you listed "migaines" as my belly has taken on a bit of a baby elephant appearance.🐘😜 I was interested to see if you listed a Latin dx name for a tendency to write snarky comments in UA-cam. I've been calling it "Youtubis trollitus", seems to have been triggered by 10 plus years of constant uncontrollable pain.??😜Have a nice day
So many of these symptoms my Ms neurologist has told me is not possible to have 😭. I knew I wasn’t crazy 😭. Thank you for sharing.
well it started after my first covid. 1st covd.its actually driving me ccrazy..
Thank you for your videos. I have used them to educate doctors that are clueless when it comes to ms.
hi aaron. i’ve been an incomplete C3 quad (victim of a multiple stabbing attack 35 yrs ago). the older i get (75 now), i’m experiencing a definite and disturbing change of symptoms;increased trigeminal neuralga, extreme mentallus you seem to and muscular fatigue, increase cognitive impairment, urinary tract pain and half a dozen other symptoms of MS you’ve mentioned so far. could i ALSO have developed MS?

Does smoking weed and being high cause or immitate MS symptoms such as speech slurrs and emotional disconnect?

My fatigue is so severe I feel like I’m sleeping myself to death!
Just wanted to say thanks for explaining so much about MS. I have learned so much about my disease from you.
My brain and my eyes cannot handle the filters and the moving borders.
This was a good talk but I had to not look at the screen
Sometimes my MS sisters and brothers don't speak up because the community they are in only has a single MS specialist. So they have to go with the flow or not get treated. What can they do about that? Like you, I want to share and support. Knowledge is power. Thanks for all you do.

God bless

I am not a fan of snap shot filters. I enjoy your background . I also like the view of you at the table.
It's to serious of our condition to be trying to be funny with snap chat . I'd prefer a more professional approach.
cmon it’s a bit of fun and he said it was fun for him … this is an amazing opportunity not many doctors out there let alone ones specialising in a certain area because you do get an overwhelming amount of msgs and questions on top of your day to day life.

Not liking the snap chat feature- Distracting
This was great!
I agree about the whole med cost. Its insane and we need to be able to receive proper care.
The lack of knowledge in the overall public and also the doctors.
Most People literally have never heard of MS and the ones that have dont understand
Even neurologists lack education. My first neuro looked at me as if i was crazy when I asked if i could get MRI on my thoracic- that it only affects neck & brain. That shows the true lack of education.
My spinal lesion is located in my thoracic spine.
Can you be hot or warm? I have a tendency to be warm with burning feet. Night sweats
I get burning feet too
I have all these neurological symptoms but there are a few that stand out to me: I had tremors in my left arm last year around this time and sometimes in my right but it was mostly in my left.

Can multiple punctate microangiopathic lesions in sub cortisol be Ms ? Many of these symptoms you explain? Thanks
Love seeing the pets!! As always, appreciate your videos.
I know you are trying to be loghthearted but I don't like those Snapchat faces. They are very disorientating for someone with MS and certain problems. Please stay with your normal lovely face. Thankyou.
Keep going we need you I don't know if you know this
I have a ton of symptoms 🔥
Prefer to see your face better than snap chat,its distracting to me,thanks

I've had wet sensation on and off many times
It is an MS symptom

Sadly missed the live. Love your sense of humour.

I know this was a while ago but I've read there is a possible link to anthrax shots. I received a series of them in the navy
Hi! Love the set up you have. Thank you for doing this! I am just now being introduced to MS. I am a 54 year old woman, with 90% of the symptoms you are listing. I have had MRI's with and without contrast, and tons of blood work, am waiting on the, not so fun, Lumbar puncture, and have been referred to an MS specialist by my Neurologist, ugh! Anyway, I have a question on symptoms, not the symptoms themselves, but the frequency, duration, variation, and flare ups. My symptoms started 5 months ago and have been somewhat relieved with Gabapentin, however, it seems everyday is a new symptom with some that do not go away. As I sit here at my desk, I have a burning sensation on the top of my left thigh, that plagues me almost consistently now for more than a week, while last week, two nights in a row, dinner tasted awful to me but no one else in the house, and we are "foodies" who love to cook and do it pretty well. It just seems that everyday is different and the symptoms are ever changing. Is this typical? From what I know of my son's Fibromyalgia flare ups, they come and go. I also know he can be sick and in pain for months at a time. This is my confusion. How long can a flare up last, and do the symptoms change throughout that time? (I hope this makes sense) Any insight?
I just turned 45 and my symptoms are worse than ever
How do i teach myself to slow down talking to finish a sentence? Any tips?
Nice to see a lighthearted yet informative video. The snapchat filters are a fun visual, but until you learn the program, they do interrupt the flow. Thanks for all you do Dr. B!
Great software. Good info. Kept up with your water challenge. Pets adorable too!
I like ur water challenge glass . I'm trying to find one like that ,that has a glass handle. Easier to hold .
Do u think IKEA has that glass?
My neurologist thought that I had MS, but apparently celiac disease can mimic MS, and I have all the symptoms of MS, but don’t have it. Just weird to me!
thanks, filter caused discomfort, no shaking head with glow eyes. :(

I have recently had either pseudo "barbar" affect or as you listed "migaines" as my belly has taken on a bit of a baby elephant appearance.🐘😜
I was interested to see if you listed a Latin dx name for a tendency to write snarky comments in UA-cam. I've been calling it "Youtubis trollitus", seems to have been triggered by 10 plus years of constant uncontrollable pain.??😜Have a nice day
