Watch on Demand: Ways To Get Relief From MS Fatigue, Stress, and Pain With Dr. Boster

Written by Torrey Kim
Posted on December 22, 2021

Dietary changes can sometimes be helpful for people with multiple sclerosis (MS), but it’s possible that changing the times of your meals or simply hydrating more can also make an impact.

Dr. Aaron Boster shared this key insight during MyMSTeam’s live Q&A on Dec. 16. Dr. Boster brought his compassion and expertise to the event, hosted by MyMSTeam co-founder Mary Ray. He answered members’ questions about how to manage MS fatigue, whether medical marijuana can help MS symptoms, and how to exercise when pain sets in.

Members submitted more than 200 questions leading up to and during the event — far more than Dr. Boster was able to answer during the one-hour webinar. Here are some of the topics people asked Dr. Boster about during the live Q&A:

  • Is drinking alcohol safe for people with MS?
  • Are stem cell transplants effective and safe?
  • Which new MS treatments are on the horizon?

He lives in Columbus, Ohio, with his wife Krissy, son Maxwell, and daughter Betty Mae.
