Great video! I appreciate the time you’ve taken to put this together!
Thanks. I was trying to make this video shorter, but I wanted to include a lot of cases.
So far, my favorite video that I have seen from you!
This is more than what I was looking for Dr! Absolutely amazing and so thankful.
:)
Thanks for sharing these MS Mimics! This definitely shows why it can be so difficult and why it might take time to make certain of an accurate dx. Thanks again! 🤗❤️
I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's a bit technical, but I figured people watching youtube videos about MS are a bit more sophisticated than the average person. :)
This was so very informative, thanks so much!
Thanks!
Very informative and knowledgeable of MRI and different diseases tied to each!
Thanks!
Very useful sir. Thank you.
:)
Wow! Now I understand the fuzz over the McDonald criteria and its revisions! (Obviously, not a Neuro...)
I’m amazed as to how a Neurologist can effectively make an MS diagnosis with so many variables! I guess not every case is that complex but still...
Wouldn’t judge my Neuro if I was misdiagnosed 🤣
Doctors are generally bad at diagnosing rare diseases that we don't see often. Some of the the conditions I showed like CADASIL are very very frequently misdiagnosed as MS at first.
"Let's have some fun!" (With multiple sclerosis) - that's very inappropriate to say, considering some people come here to look for information about a serious disease that may affect them or their loved ones...😢
Hi Dr.. your videos are great. Thanks a lot for your time.
Question: CSF results also mimics MS? What are the cases of high IgG index or O bands in people without MS?
It would be an interesting second part.. 😊
I believe elevated IgG index and no bands is associated with neurosarcoidosis and other autoimmune diseases of the nervous system. However, CSF is not as definitive as MRI in general, so it would be difficult to discuss this topic concretely.
What about normal igG but O bands in CSF?
Hey Dr. I was diagnosed with ADEM in april 2019 and treated with IV steroids. After a follow-up mri in july the doctors changed their minds and now the official diagnosis is an aggressive form of
RRMS...My first OCREVUS infusion is on halloween🎃👻..
Thanks for the informative vidoes
I'm glad that you are learning from them. Best of luck with your first infusion. Perhaps you can show up in costume ;)
Thank you so much Dr. Beaber ! I for one am very grateful to know there is a Dr. Like you that care so much about MS. I wish all MS doctors were like this.
:)
Why do I feel it's ms my walking over the last few years is horrible my hands are bad. My vision, is going bad. My bladder I can't hold my pee at all. So when explaining this to my husband I said it's like my brain isn't telling my leg to go. Or like when your scared and you can't scream or run
In in Kansas I've just gotten insurance anyone know of any ms dr here in wichita or even in kansas?
I was first diagnosed with ADEM and later they concluded that it's MS...
These diseases that mimic ms such as cns vasculitis, would blood tests rule this out for sure?
Ive had symptoms of MS for 15 years and now in a terrible way, but MRIs ive had 1 at 19, and one at 27 both were clear. Blood tests for inflammatory markers were fine.
I am awaiting another MRI.
Can anyone advise please?
also have erythromelalgia and rashes, hives, hair loss, crawling dry skin, dry lungs, dry mouth where my mouth sticks to my teeth nearly every morning. I have severe cognitive problems and have had severe constant headaches and seizures. My headaches stopped in Feb after many years. But everything else is worse.
This is a complicated question to answer. For systemic causes of CNS vasculitis such as lupus, antibodies in the blood are usually abnormal. For primary CNS angiitis, blood tests are often normal. This is also true for many other mimics such as neurosarcoidosis, CADASIL, HSP, and so forth. A completely normal MRI of the brain would be rare in MS.
Have you tried changing your diet? Some people are able to get rid of symptoms on carnivore diet. Look into to. Another thing to look into is intermittent fasting, with keto. Just ideas. I have autoimmune disorders and diet really helps me with keeping flare ups away.
Hi did you got for your other MRI? how was the result? Been reading your comments and I can relate to you so much, I’ve been going through this now for 4 years.
I keep telling my Dr to run test because I'm almost positive that ms is what's going on.
I hope i only have ms though🙈
Over cealiac? Changed only w diet change? I'd take it instead of MS any day or you severely misunderstood the long term outlook on MS.
