Dear dr.B Great 📹 video wow! Very intuitive, i found this latest boster video left me very educationally intrigued 🤔, I felt like you had great info, and I was happy to learn all the things u spoke about. Sincerely Cynthia l # godbless #bosterstrong # wehavems, but not alone!
Thank you for sharing all this valuable information. It helps us- understand what we are taking and HOW it works. On & off label. As always super informative and gives me ,personally , piece of mind. #Sharingiscaring
You're GREAT, Dr. Boster! I am learning so much from your videos!! I always watch them with a notebook & pen to take notes and/or write down questions to ask my neuro. Thanks for using your personal time to make these! I know I & others really appreciate it!!
I am so grateful for the way you educate and inform us so that we can collaborate with our specialists and have confidence in our treatment plans. Knowledge is truly power & your videos empower me to have power over my RRMS & subsequent autoimmune diseases. Thank you 3,000 Dr Boster
Very nice video. I have some patients long-term stable on low-frequency glatiramer. I agree that every-other-day gilenya may not be worth it, particularly for someone who probably should be on a higher-efficacy medication anyway. I think extended dose interval Tysabri should be used more commonly, particularly people taking it despite being JCV ab positive with low index. of course, I am a long-term prescriber of rituximab and have also used Arzerra (intravenous ofatumumab). I have used arava as well.
Thanks for another great video Dr Aaron, my neurologist has me on the tysabri infusions every 6 weeks and thankfully at this point I'm no worse for wear.
Great video Dr. B, interesting info. When I was on Tysabri last year, I read that the UK also approved an injected form instead of infusion. Unfortunately, the injection isn't FDA approved in the US.
I was on Copaxone 3 times a week and then went down to 2 times. I found it worked. However, came off due to the injection site deterioration. I have not been on any form of DMT since.
I am just an (over)informed patient. Considering the rather short half-life of Tysabri, I strongly disagree with 6 weeks intervals - maybe lower risk, but definitely much less efficacy. Either extend 4 weeks to become 5, or just give that patient Ocrevus instead. None of the 6-weeks-Tysabri patients I met were doing fine, but doctors kept them on the same drug and cycle for many years
Dear Dr. Boster, I am happy that I found you here. I have nevet met such an enthusiastic neurologist! 🎉🎉🎉 What do you think of BTK inhibitor? Thank you for your answer!
Hi from Newport Beach. Hope you have been doing well. Are you using the Octave biomarker test? I'm interested in your opinion on this test and if it is worth doing. 👍⭐⭐⭐⭐👍

thanks for these informative videos. What types of high efficiency drugs should a ms patient use if they have a liver desease such as hepatitis?
I had red sensitive sores from copaxone I decided to go from Gilenya to its generic. Mainly because I was told anything stronger would limit energy more than the meds had already Tried Zeposia. Didn't like it
My off label use of drugs is amantadine for shaking and staying awake which is the flu antiviral meclizine which is an antihistamine and hydroxyzine which is an anti histamine as well
Hi Dr B just wondering what your thoughts is on the trials for ATA188? Maybe a video on how your thoughts are or if you think its something that could be promising
My old neurologist YELLED at me for requesting my Ocravus in less than 6 full months. My new neurologist filed a request on her authority, insisting that I NEED it earlier, and got a refusal. She's talking about plasma 4.5 months on, as a stopgap measure. I'm not excited. 😒 Happy Purim from Jerusalem! 🥳
Thanks Dr Boster for another fantastic video. Im on ocrevus, and my neurologist will not give it to me until my CD19 levels are above 1%. This took 10 months between doses. Is this something you do in your clinic?
I wish they do more research on using HIV antivirals to treat MS. Some antivirals might have lower risk factors and higher benefits. I could only find one small study on this. Thank you for all your content.
That's the real art of medicine! Thank you, Dr. Boster! Also, IMHO (n=1 study of myself), Copaxone is an overrated awful drug with low efficacy & nasty side effects.
I was prescribed with Glatopa (generic for copaxen) and when the specialist told that the Glatopa is not powerful enough and prescribed Ocrevus. Would that work?
Is there anything to suggest multiple drugs, in like a cocktail as in HIV treatment, could be efficacious? Say one to help control circulating immune cells, another that works on the blood brain barrier, etc. To sorta cumulatively be high efficacy. Although what I gather from watching your videos it would be more proper to talk about it as induction vs escalation than first line va highly effective?
Maybe I haven't seen it yet on your channel, but what are your thoughts about HSCT? I was diagnosed MS on 12/5/2022 (not been "typed" yet), with no changes to my ability to move (yet). Otherwise healthy 43 male with 3 kids/active family. I want to do my best to stay informed, and I'm concerned that my neuro started me on Copaxone. I've struggled with anxiety and a touch of depression over the last few months just trying to adjust.

Ooh, thanks Dr B, seeing all these off label uses side by side was useful!
Glad it was helpful!
The World needs more Dr. Bosters, not only in the MS field but in all medical fields. Thank you for sharing!

Morning!
You’re amazing. A wealth of valuable knowledge. Thank you
Thank you! Do you Have also some experieces with neurologists that suggest to make the infusion of Ocrelizumab with a break longer than 6 mounths?
Thank you for the Monday morning video of off label meds. Always helpful to jiggle my brain cells. Doug coffee in hand from Lyndhurst Ohio.
You are so welcome!

love those videos, could you make more in depth videos on rituximab? thanks

Excellent content. Thank you for all you do to help those of us in the MS community!
PS The Hobbit House vibe in this room is magnificent 🤩

To give my neurologist the credit she’s due she has explained this to me very well. Ty for the refresher though.
I have been diagnosed with pots.

Thank you for all your content.
fascinating you post this. Are you referring to Prep? And more specifically Prep's effect on Epstein-Barr Virus?
That's the real art of medicine! Thank you, Dr. Boster! Also, IMHO (n=1 study of myself), Copaxone is an overrated awful drug with low efficacy & nasty side effects.

Do you see increased risk of skin cancer in patients on B cell depleters ?
What's the most efficient drug to go onto from tysabri in terms of stopping progression?
Do you think there would be any difference in terms of efficacy with SC or IV administration of anti CD2Os? Lymph nodes absorption etc.
Is there anything to suggest multiple drugs, in like a cocktail as in HIV treatment, could be efficacious? Say one to help control circulating immune cells, another that works on the blood brain barrier, etc. To sorta cumulatively be high efficacy. Although what I gather from watching your videos it would be more proper to talk about it as induction vs escalation than first line va highly effective?
Is IVIG used for MS?
Why Gilenya is rated so bad ?

try dr Brandon Beaber's channel, he did videos on HSCT. His content is as great as dr Boster's :)
