What is Progression in Multiple Sclerosis?

Рет қаралды 41,780

Күн бұрын

Progression in Multiple Sclerosis is often misunderstood by both doctors and patients. In this video, I explain what progression in MS really means. I make use of the “Leaking Pool Model of MS” to teach you about progression. I explain the concept of “neurological reserve” also called “functional reserve” and how it is depleted more quickly as someone with MS ages. If you make it to the end of the video, I share a few recommendations to help “Preserve the Reserve!”. So if you’ve ever had questions about progression in multiple sclerosis, MS then watch this video right now.
As always, I’d love to hear from you. Please kindly share your comments and any questions you may have below. I try to respond within a day or two.

This was explained so well. I'm 23 and I've been experiencing numbness in my legs and arms, extreme loss of balance, and greying in my left eye over the last week. I didn't think it was a big deal but a random urgent care doctor I visited gave me the suggestion that is was something to look into. My doctor has ordered an MRI for tomorrow and I've been very upset but now that I understand "progression", I feel a lot better. Even if I receive bad news, it's not a death sentence. Thank you so much.

The pool model is incredibly clear to help me understand MS. Your videos have helped me so much. I was diagnosed over four years ago, I have a Dr that I really liked but watching your videos and NMS Society videos I think she has left me in the dark about my disorder. I believe I just finished a relapse and I think I have been having a lot of them. She described them as something major such as loss of movement in a limb or loss of vision. I have run through so many emotions since watching videos the last three days. I just can't say enough how thankful I am that you are here for us.

I was diagnosed almost 2 years ago. I have experienced many different responses from providers from compassion to be treated like a drug seeker when I moved out of state for 6 months. I eventually had to come back to Florida to treat MS because I was being treated as if I was faking symptoms 😢. I have learned more about this disease from you than any provider. I know they care I think it’s about the time they are aloud to spend with us as patients. Until watching these videos I was terrified of using DMTs because no one explained to me how they work. Thank you for sharing and I will be going to my neurologist with all I have learned to help me better treat myself with their help and consideration ❤❤❤

Im so sorry to hear this. The medical gaslighting is terrible. I have PTSD and when I started having debilitating fatigue and pain I was treated poorly and medically gaslighted. I wouldnt go to the doc for years until I got optic neuritis/MS. But during that period of not seeking medical treatment I armed myself with knowledge not only about my systems but the widespread narcissism epidemic that has infiltrated our medical systems.

@suzanneknepp849 2 жыл бұрын

I wish I would have seen this 3 years ago when it came out. I am an RN with MS for over 25 years. This is the first time that I understood why my MS health is declining in the absence of relapses. I occasionally have relapses of optic neuritis but I don’t suffer permanent eyesight damage. However the damage does show up on ophthalmologic testing. I no longer take DMT meds, but after seeing this video I think I should be on DMTs. I have significant brain loss but keep my brain active so others might not see my cognitive dysfunction - I am aware of it but it’s difficult for others to appreciate.

Thank you Dr Boster. Now I understand when I get twitches in my feet and legs it’s old nerve damage and my pool has leaked a bit :) Thank you for this brilliant explanation. It’s comforting thinking about these annoying twitches as old damage and not new symptoms. Thank you for making everything so clear. I’m also very happy to report I’ve gone a whole month without an MS hug and I’ve felt a lot better generally. The changes I’ve made are the exercises each morning and drinking a lot more water. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos, I appreciate it so much.

Thank you I hadn’t heard the pool analogy before. I have had MS for 30 years, and I am experiencing much lower functional reserve. My routine is physical exercise (yoga, cardio and weight lifting) as well as neuroaccupunture, and physical therapy for gait . I eat a healthy diet, don’t smoke and have an occasional beer. I cannot imagine the space I would be working with if I hadn’t followed this regime for as long as I have…my MS is stabile so I am watching for breakthroughs with myelin repair. Hoping for another tool in my toolbox…😊

I fell in love with the "leaking pool" model once I saw it for the first time back then, thanks and respect to Mr.Krieger. Finally one model which covers all the MS-options and pathways, as well as the treatment. When I talk to a new "MS-buddy", I always bring up this model - even though a rather simplified version of it: the one and only way to slow down growth of the stalagmites are DMTs, while taking care of the water level is completely under the responsibility of the patient. This nicely explains those stories of people who claim to have conquered MS without any meds. Btw, I also mention to them that while too many lecturers love to say "within 10 years there will surely be a cure for MS", the first time I heard this same sentence was 15 years ago. There should be a ban on such statement, as it logically leads too many patients to avoid the potentially dangerous DMTs and just wait for this promised miracle. While the presenters say this to provide hope, it has catastrophic consequences.

Well I certainly didn't expect to feel compelled to post a second comment to one of your vids so quickly following my first, but wanted to inform you of something. I have seen references and descriptions of the leaking swimming pool on a couple of other sites, but definitely found your explanation to be the most comprehensive and accessible. Consequently I have told a friend about this video. She works as an occupational therapist here in the UK and some of her patients have MS. I have suggested she let people know that they can access your excellent advice and info via YT. It genuinely makes a world of difference to have an expert clinician, such as yourself, taking the time and trouble to provide this input to the wider MS community! Personally I find that your vids compliment and enhance what I gain from the UK Bart's Blog. In the nigh on three years since I was diagnosed I've been on a huge learning curve and you've contributed to that in a meaningful way. Thanks very much indeed! Fiona.

You really are a legend and a guiding light Dr Boster. I was in for my monthy Tysabri infusion this morning but I also had to have a stress test and CT Calcium check, just a routine procedure to make sure the heart is ticking. However, during the stress test, I had to stop as my right leg became weak. For the past few weeks, even when walking daily, the thigh area of my right leg gets numb and weak. I have an MRI next month, so hopefully that might help figuring things out. But thank you again for everything you are doing here. You are giving so many people Hope.

Hey Dr B! I love the “Leaky Pool” explanation and use this often to explain why it’s so important to take a DMT! I also believe that we can refill our pool by Retraining with guidance from a Physical Therapist or someone who knows how and I also believe we can Retrain our Cognitive Function in the same way as we learned as a child. I think every Positive choice we make helps fill the pool. I know mine still has a leak, but by making healthy choices and being committed to getting better, I think the hose is filling my pool faster than my leak is leaking!! 😆😁🤣❤️❤️ Thanks so much!!

Dr Bostsr I would like nothing more than to exercise again. Used to run for miles and miles so easily and very much into yoga, even up to 3 years ago and since then I have tried both periodically and failed miserably. My legs weigh a ton, have a stoop and I’m able to walk one hour with my stick with wide gait, before completely stopping. Yoga classes are out as my balance is not there and I’m uncoordinated, it’s embarrassing falling over and not knowing left from right, but I do a simple alternative for 5 mins a day and at night. But hey, I used to run, I scream at myself!!! Come back fitness I miss you. 😥 Maybe it’s time for medication, which I’m terrified of starting. 😬 Thank you for explaining progression of MS so well, I’m confused by all these labels floating around.

Dear Dr. Boster, thank you ao much for this very easy understanding video! The "leaking pool mode"l willl be also known in Germany!! I am going to translate this to my mother and husband so they can get a better understanding of what's going on in my brain and spinal cord and why some things show up and some don't! You are such an inspiration! Thanks for taking your time to make these great videos! Please don't stop! Lots of greetings from Germany! sincerely Britta

That is really awesome Britta, I'm excited at the notion that you'll translate this into German! cool! The model is officially called "The topographical Model of Multiple Sclerosis" by Dr. Krieger, but I often times refer to it as "the leaking pool model" as I think it helps folks understand ;)

Dear Dr. Boster, I am sure, I am going to find the right words to translate this genious model into German! The leaking pool is easier to understand I guess. My husband doesn't understand English and I want to tell him about this model for better undersatnding of MS and my Mom, who is very much interested in learning more about the disease I have to live with wants to get an easy understandable language will love this too. Is there an email address I can send the translation to, if you are interested in? Just tell me and when it's finished it will come to you. Maybe you have German patients too???? sincerely Britta

Awesome Idea, I love it! To ensure I don't misrepresent the work, the topographical model (i.e. the leaking pool model of MS) was created by my friend Dr. Steven Kreiger, just so I'm clear I didn't make it. Do you tweet Britta? @OhioHealthMS and I can give you a good email via private DM?

Very informative video, Doctor! also, I’d be curious to know what would you do with a patient that had Lemtrada for a while(past the two cycles), but still, Ms managed to show progression in the patient over time even with Lemtrada

Great great video here yeah while some of my symptoms are secondary Ms some other symptoms still remain under primary Ms cause sometimes I'm able to do things here and there even my wife is often like "how you did that ? " Because my limitations got very very severe thru time so at this point I'm pretty much used to the fact my mobility is always gonna be involved either a wheelchair or a walker....couple days ago I got a new medicine from my doctor "neurontin" take 1 pill before going to bed but til now I haven't seen any change at all, my lower spine still hurts like crazy each step

Thanks for creating all these helpful videos! I’ve been looking for a video about aggressive MS but I haven’t found one yet. Can you explain what you would consider aggressive MS and the best way to treat it? I was diagnosed in 2014 after having foot drop for 6 months. I haven’t been able to walk since mid 2017. I’ve taken Copaxone, Gilenya and finally Lemtrada in 2017 and 2018. Most of the info on MS is related to Relapsing MS and a little bit on slow, steady progressing MS but nothing on aggressive MS. Thank you.

This is a very good and useful to know video! Thank you so much! I'm an "entrepreneur" and was formerly doing my repeated all nighters, same like from my undergraduate days. I'm 33 now with MS :( My parents were right :(

Great explaining DR, i haven't recovered properly for all of my relapses so far lost half my sight in my right eye and have a left arm that's dropped and hard to use. Though it's good to know what progression actually means :)
