Within a few minutes of injecting rebif, my symptoms (ie balance and weakness) are MUCH worse. does everyone get this same reaction?

I have been using rebif for the past 3.5 months.

Progress on neural stem cells seem to be picking up.



Scientists create working brain cells

July 28, 2005 -- Reuters -- Swedish researchers have created new functioning brain cells from stem cells drawn from the brains of living adults, sparking hope that effective treatments for devastating illnesses like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's could be at hand, media reported overnight.

Neurosurgeons withdrew the stem cells from the brains of adults during routine surgery for hydrocephalus, or water ...

Dear all,

The annual ECTRIMS / ACTRIMS get together is taking place in Greece in late September. For those interested I attach a link which sets out the programme. Neuro-protection is being discussed - which is good. As usual the same old companies are sponsoring the event. I particular like the tours that are offered.

Over the last little while, my husband, David Wheldon has made many adjustments and fine tunings to his MS pages, so it might be worth re-reading them to keep up to date. For instance, the adjuncts section has been much changed, using the both of us, for testing purposes, as the guinea pigs. I copy it here, but there is much more new.

Just for the fun of it! After all --The Human Condition needs some lighter fare now and then, so..................

"Think before you do bad things!"

Maybe myelin isn't the only thing going wrong in MS, but a better understanding of its development should still be important for MS researchers.

Using Nanoparticles, In Vivo Gene Therapy Activates Brain Stem Cells
Technique may allow scientists to repair brain cells damaged by disease, trauma or stroke

July 25, 2005 -- Using customized nanoparticles that they developed, University at Buffalo scientists have for the first time delivered genes into the brains of living mice with an efficiency that is similar to, or better than, viral vectors and with no observable ...

Interesting -- I wonder if they will test this for MS. I wonder how similar it is to Aimspro.
