This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

I remember that Kv1.3 was been studied by UC Irvine's College of Medicine in 2001. Now Merck Serono and Bionomics Announce that are going to develops it. I suppose they were thinking very carefully about it all this time.

I think this could be a posible explanation about different causes in EM.

Hi italianphil , Glad to see you here. I'm with you and everybody thinking in this way. I'm living in Spain and we are a group of affected MS people. We constituted a foundation in 2006 “Fundación GAEM” http://www.gaem-bcn.org/ And our main objective is to impel the independent investigation in MS. ...

maybe this new could help investigators to explain this mystery some day. I hope that succeeded sooner than later.

Could it be that the holes in CNS were easy to repair for being the central plasticity better than the one of the spinal cord and that explain that sometimes disappear in the brain and not in the spinal cord and that was what provokes the real disability ?

Any ideas about if some investigators are near to develop something to win viruses? no just for MS but viruses in general.

It's name is "emotional lability", and it's very common in MS patients.

One of the highest risk of MS is in Sardinia(Italy). This island is plenty of sun in the Mediterranean see.

Just have a look to this articles:

I don't think this would be the cause or one of the most important causes. My daughter spend all her life near the see in Spain going to the beach 3 months every year and he has her diagnostic of MS at 20 years old. I think virus's theories are more in the way.

I believe that some virus is involved and also the possibility that may be different virus produce different MS types...

so sorry. Be strong because she is going to help you from wherever she is.

I do hope in this trial. I feel something good from minocycline.

There are some investigations (we need more) showing that the binomial virus-genes have something to tell in MS. Its a pity that MS society's don't give more founds to this issue, i think is a good way to invest.

The politicians are not going to change their mind unless people force them to do it, if they see that we are arranged to punish them with the vote, that this is an important thing, maybe they change about the importance of the health of his citizens. And not only EM people, all kind of sick people....

Of course mrhodes40, it is very interesting but is in Spanish:
