What's your opinion on ketone powder?
Will do.
I have a friend who also has MS but won't exercise and now he's wheelchair bound. I refuse to become wheelchair bound and love that you are promoting this Dr. Boster. That being said, I'm off to do yoga 🤗🧘🏾♀️
Thanks for sharing!!
It's not that we should exercise, exercise we MUST. I'm going kicking and screaming through this little setback in life called MS and I refuse to become immobile. Walking is hard. Very hard. While I can't walk for exercise I still do butt kicking PT. Do what you can do and find whatever you still can do to stay fit and active. Thank you Dr Boster. 🥑🍏🍓🍐🍉
I have to say Dr. Boster, I think you are an incredible Dr. I am so glad I found your videos. I thank you so much.
I broke both ankles end of October. I was non weight bearing for a little over 12 weeks. I can now slide in and out of the car. I'm being referred to out parent rehab. This was wake up call. I've been watching calories and have made my physical therapy my exercise. Recovering will take a long time but at the end of it I am determined to be out of my wheelchair more than I was before this.
I fall at least 1-2 x per year with heavy ankle sprains but no breaks. I sooooo understand the frustration.
Keep up the good work!💗
My heart goes out to you. May you heal quickly. 🙏
You got this!! 💪
I hope and pray you are doing better.
I started going to gym beginning of January. It took a few weeks to get in a routine but my body does feel so much better and I know feel off if I don't go. Even if it's a low and slow walk on the treadmill bc in Pennsylvania it's cold and snowy. It also helps me sleep at night. I go at 8 pm so I get a shower and go to bed. I find finding the right time for me was the key
Thank you for this added motivation to exercise! I started weight lifting a year ago, after at least 15 years of dedicated couch potato-ing. I am NOT naturally athletic, and it took a few months to really feel a difference. But now, I feel so much stronger, energetic, confident, etc., in many areas of life that you mentioned in this video. To those who, like me, maybe haven't exercised in a very long time or feel that you do not easily build muscle, please give it some time to feel and appreciate the benefits!
All great points and ideas.
For those who can’t get out to excercise- in a group setting- MS Focus Has weekly online classes for yoga/ Ti’ chi - THe MS Gym is another great place.
Great addition to this series.

Thank you! I fell last week in my house, with cane in my hand going to my chair. Well, something happened and I began wobbling. I went down flat on my back. I couldn't get up. Finally after resting, I made it up partway, my husband and daughter helped with a low chair, then my walker, then I was able to stand. That reinforces that I need to focus on exercise. Thanks for the encouragement to get with it to get my core stronger.
Stationary bike stretching ,leg reps and walkin literally saved me rarely use a cane
Thank you! Hitting the elliptical right now. 🎉
Great job!
I notice a direct correlation between being active and having better cognitive function AND reduced pain! After my Ocrevus IV, I usually start improving about 3 weeks later. This last IV, I haven’t noticed much. It’s been frustrating, and now that the spare room is cleared out, I’m going to get on that treadmill tonight and restart regimen. Hopefully 🙏 I will notice an improvement after a month. Second, I’m preparing to have neurosurgery at C2-C7 in April, and a Dexa showed I have Osteopenia, which wasn’t there 3 years ago. Please pray for a successful surgery on 4/12/24! I’m terrified. Multilevel cord compression is scary. I also pray that my balance improves a bit and I stop dropping small things (but the sx overlap, so we’ll see). Thank you for this important info! 🎗️
Most recent mri diagnoses leukoaraiosis with a heavy lesion load, 30 to 40 wmh, scattered punctate lesion throughout entire brain etc....I'm still not conv ih need it's not m.s.- great video Dr.B. We appreciate you!
Thanks Dr. B. I'm a big believer in exercise and diet as part of a healthy lifestyle and was long before my diagnosis. I credit my lifestyle with having mild MS today. However, I am busier now nearing middle age and I don't have the time or energy to be as active as I was in the past. I now stay active by doing little things like routine projects and yard work around the house and taking the stairs instead of an elevator whenever possible during the work week. It all helps!
I am walking around 30 minutes per day plus 40 mins of exercise for osteoporosis. I am doing well even I did not know 😮
Thank you for all of your videos I’ve learned much more from you than my actual neurologist.
Just the message i needed today.
Dear Mr. Boster!
Frankly, this was the most motivating video I've ever seen.
So many thanks for you!
You are very welcome
Good to know because I saw a urologist and he said that strengthening my pelvic floor or even doing kegels did help with maintaining the bladder, holding urine etc.
Thank you! You are awesome.
Excellent information! I've been working out since diagnosis 💪
Really great video. Love how you kept it interesting by moving around to different backgrounds. Thank you Dr Boster. What a difference you are making in so many lives, mine too!
An exercise physiologist, now I professor, once said to me that there are 13 or 14 DMTs, plus aHSCT. Exercise is really another DMT
I recently stumbled upon your channel and 1) love your personality, 2) wish my neurologists had personality, 3) and I love your content.
Without giving too much away - other than the fact that I have MS - I also suffered something rare, and none of my 4 neurologists had ever ordered P/T or O/T therefore never encouraged me to attempt exercise. I think they believed in the beginning that I was a lost cause. So, I had to learn to do anything and everything on my own without the assistance of therapies - dress myself, bathe myself, urinate, defecate, wipe my butt, walk, run, hike, bike, paddle a kayak, and.....the list goes on and on.
I relearned quickly how to do anything I wanted to - albeit with difficulty and always in slow motion - because I BELIEVED I could. BELIEVED I could verbally instruct my body to do so. BELIEVED in the power of my body to repair itself. BELIEVED my body could create new neuropathic pathways. BELIEVED. When my doctors didn't. I'd love to see you give that message, that hope to your viewers as well as to your patients. Education about the body's ability to heal itself (to an extent) is very powerful.
And dang, I wish you were my neurologist! I think you're awesome.
Everyone knows me so I can be you patient from a distance
Let's do it!
Good information thank you
Thank you very helpful.
Yoga almost every day ,greeting from Italy
Thank you for your information ,, lots of Dr . do not take MS seriously , until they see 3 lis.
Excercise Is the answer not meds
Multiple Sclerosis forced me back in the gym and drinking more water . 😂
From when you are facing ms pls tell
Hi DrB
Spasticity in my calves. I am using 3 approaches. Canibus, increase capsaicin consumption, and use a small heating pad with a built-in timer with a weighed blanket (at least on my shins). It seems to work for me. In the past year. I haven't been woken up at night with legs shaking like they were in ice water or pain like a charly horse.
Thanks for sharing,
Mike
I had bilateral Charlie horses at night time and literally barely get out of bed to attempt to stretch the calf muscles out.
My favorite form of exercise is swimming. I am lucky to have an exercise facility close by with an indoor pool and many classes. The water helps with pain and the classes help with aerobic exercise. I have pt exercises that I can perform in the water safely. My goal this year is to lose weight. Any suggestions about bariatric surgery and any effect on MS?
Legs don't work to do anything with them anymore and shoulder is jacked with nerve problems aggravated every time I do any effective exercises. No an option for me anymore
My name in Grace, Yvonne Morris
How much exercise?
longevity.... that's a tough sell
Hi doctor
I recently had an MRI due to a health scare-I thought I may have had a stroke. Luckily I didn't.
But the doctor did notice some white matter in my brain. I have no symptoms of MS, but they did recommend I get another MRI for my brain and a whole spine screening with contrast injection.
I'm not sure if I should go ahead with it seeing as I do not have any MS symptoms.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated :)
Is going up and down the stairs multiple times a day considered exercise?
Unless your cerebellum is mush, which is mine, is you fall anyway.
Sir, Is it possible to get back cognitive abilities. Was diagnosed in 2020 with MS.Now I am better. I am fit except for the issues with cognition. I am a Physics student. Will I get back to my previous cognitive state. Is there any medicine which specifically targets our cognition. Please tell me something regarding that.
Iv been excerises since 25 after I over came 4 relapses at once no matter what excerises I do they all tier me out! I even go funny! But I refuse to end up in a wheelchair...also I struggle to lose weight too! It's so frustrating! Ms sucks
I always try to exercise it's difficult to when them bad tired spells hits me hard at times it makes me want to sleep for days, i do exercise.
