- Hi everyone!
This video is a long one but its packed with content. I wanted to share some assessment and theories based on relevance and find material to be easier to remember when it's actually relevant!! It's a big key to successful studying. So here is an overview on MS and a few other things along the way. Enjoy!

For those watching/studying in the years since this video was released, they have now gotten rid of "Progressive Relapsing" as a dx type, and it now falls under "Primary Progressive". They have also added "Clinically Isolated Syndrome", which is the first episode of MS symptoms > 24 hours. National MS Society and AOTA have updated this in their material.
Cannot thank you enough for this UA-cam. I have MS + am so, so grateful to understand the specific things w/ which an OT can help someone w/ MS. Because of what I learned from your UA-cam, I will request my neurologist to order an OT consult.
A little about my MS experience … I was Dx in 2021 at 63, following 4 years of consulting 3 general neurologists + NUMEROUS specialists at 4 top teaching institutions re my invisible symptoms: Leg weakness, tingling that started in toes and rose to waste eventually going back down to feet, spasticity in neck and rib area making it difficult to breathe, heat intolerance, fatigue, difficulty walking, tremors, … . In fairness, I know I wasn’t the typical age. Initial neurologist suspected peripheral neuropathy, second neurologist ordered a spinal MRI revealing an inactive lesion that transverse the thoracic spine. If I knew then what I know now, I would have requested the neurologists to do a brain MRI + lumbar puncture. It wasn’t until I experienced SIGNIFICANT difficulty moving my legs while on a hot day (88°F)… that brain MRI + spinal tap were ordered + I was quickly referred to neurologist #4 who easily diagnosed me with MS. Interestingly, it is now suspected that I may have had a mild case of MS since 1987 (at the more typical age of 29) when I was diagnosed UCLA with pars planitis/intermediate uveitis. I have also since been told but when my symptoms started in 2017 + I had spinal MRI in 2018, I was likely experiencing transverse myelitis. I’m very glad to no heaven diagnosis and know how to move forward. Would never have thought of requesting an OT consult, had it not been for your UA-cam. So many things you mentioned will be invaluable help to me … many HEARTFELT thank yous. Will be sharing your UA-cam with other pwMS.
Thank you so much! Your videos have really helped lessen my anxiety about taking the exam! You are so appreciated.
This makes me so happy to hear Michelle. As a fellow person with anxiety, remember that you are stronger than your deepest fears and you can do it all in good time if you take care of yourself along the way. Good luck!
Thank you so much for your helpful and amazing content. Have a great day and keep being an inspiration!
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a sweet comment. :) I'm happy to hear the content is helpful! Good luck!
OT Rex no problem! I’m sure you are an inspiration to not only your patients and their families, but also to everyone who view these informative, motivating videos! Definitely helps with studying. I can’t wait to take the NBCOT, mid-October, and be an inspiration to those I help and care for! :)
Great video.Clear and concise. Great examples. Thank you
My left ear is an OT now
I appreciate you❤️
So is the progressive relapsing graph more ment to look like steps with high jumps that don't have remission and steadily deteriorate?
cant hear you :(
