Yes please, I’d love a video where you describe the parts of the brain and how lesions can affect them

@DrMattiLabbratt Жыл бұрын

I too would find that immensely useful as the more I understand about my MS, the less frightened I feel about it. I realise that many patients feel the opposite way and really would rather know as little as possible as it scares them more and that’s ok xx

@meloneyparker 3 жыл бұрын

It would be awesome if you would map the brain and describe the functions of the different parts. Is it even possible to do a map with related functions? It blows my mind (it actually hurts my brain) to think about mapping out brain function, but it is such an interesting topic.

@savannahpage8706 3 жыл бұрын

I would enjoy this too. I find it extremely interesting whenever my neurologist speaks about locations and my impairments.

Aaron, this was really interesting! I was just diagnosed with CIS and have yet to start any DMTs. I found out about your channel because my mom (who unfortunately passed away from cancer 2 weeks ago) said you were great. She loved watching your videos and enjoyed your sense of humor. Just wanted to let you know you made a positive impact on my mom who was helping me navigate this entire situation and felt compelled to let you know. Thank you again for all you do - it means the most in my life right now!

Yes I had one doctor tell me he's surprised I'm not in a wheelchair after seeing my MRI.. which I hate he told me bc it's all I think about. He even said he double chk to make sure he had the right patient. Maybe go through some MRI'S & tell us what kinda symptoms the patient's have or any additional details about their treatment.

Hi Dr. Boster, how are you? If someone had lesions on the brain, a normal spinal tap and no lesions on the spine, how many lesions on the brain and what location would determine an MS diagnosis ? I'm learning a lot from you so please post more videos about MRI's. : )

Dr. Boster, hello from Southern Ohio! THANK YOU for your very thoughtful, creative and understandable videos! What a great MS Warrior you are! I’ve had MS since 2011, so I truly appreciate all the advocating you do on behalf of MS patients! I cannot imagine how crazy busy you are with your personal life and practice, yet you care enough to take time and share your wealth of wisdom! THANK YOU for fighting the good fight along with the MS community! God bless you & your family as well as your practice! Tracey

@msguidedbits9511 3 жыл бұрын

I have lesions on my brain stem as well. As I understand, they cause more problems than lesions elsewhere in the brain, because there isn't as much possibility for the brain to reroute signals around them.

@andreacatura3382 3 жыл бұрын

Love these. I would really love to see a video that discusses lesions In relation to symptoms. For example, if I have a lesion in the exact same place as someone else, does it mean we will have the same symptom and conversely, whether or not people with the same symptom have a lesions in the same place. 🤷‍♀️

And being involved and understanding what's going on with me , how this thing is attacking me gives me a stronger will to fight it.

That is a YES, for me as well. When I got the diagnosis in 2021, I looked for these kinds of images. I wanted to know that what was on my brain, other MS patients had as well. Also that you explain to us what we see, where we see it and what part of our body it’s effect. Last December I had a new attack and instead of being in the brain it was now in my spine. That news freaked me out. As I looked online I could not find the information I wanted. Oke long story short, teach me as much as you can! Thanks for all you have taught me already. You have given me a peace of mind when I have had questions. I wish we had a neurologist like you in the Netherlands.
