Any good news?

Dear all,
Is it me or are MS good news stories drying up? Will another year pass without any real progress in finding out what causes this disease?
I've been reading lots of recent research papers and a number are suggesting that MS is more akin to Parkinson's disease and Alzeimers (?)than other auto-immune diseases. That really cheered me up.
I've only been diagnosed since May but have seen the regular reporting of better treatments - but why are they always a decade away / not for another ten years?
Scientists all around the world seem to be good at sticking needles into mice, but does any good ever come from this in relation to MS?
I'm sure I'll pick up when Antegren is hopefully approved in November - but then I'll realise that the UK Gov will take ages before it is introduced here.
Someone tell me something good in relation to MS.
Thanks
Bromley.
