hi yammer, glad to hear that rituxan seems to be working for you. good luck with the texas move and getting approved there. my wife received her 2nd infusion a few months ago. her ms is different than yours...she is 65, ppms, dx 4 years ago. like you, her last mri showed no new lesions so we are ver...

Hi Asher,

Thanks for the post...glad you are stable and feeling well. Since your MSC procedure have you noticed any improvements in any of your symptoms??? Stability is great but in the end we all hope for some / any kind of improvement...pie-in-the-sky.

thanks yammer for the update. my wife is now 2 1/2 months post first infusion and she too has noticed no improvement of symptoms....but, she's no worse either so that's good.

keep fighting the good fight.

yammer...thanks for the update. hope you get some positive results with the 2nd infusion. my wife had her 1st infusion about a month ago and, like you, sees no effect yet but we're not complaining and are expecting no miracles. she has not been sick at all...no adverse effects whatsoever. we figure ...

kevin, i too have been following the myelin repair foundation publishings...i even sent them a few bucks. excellent work they are doing and probably the only thing that might help my wife who is 63 and ppms. msct sounds promising....i think i even read one of george's posts where he said he might be...

hi yammer, still following your posts. we were hoping for some decisive good results for you with some symptom improvement....isn't that what we always hope for no matter what therapy one is trying at the time. it still could be in the cards for you so hang in there. when rituxan was in clinical tri...

thanks for the continuing updates yammer....still wishing you the best for some positive results. my wife is still awaiting for insurance approval for infusion...here's hoping things will improve soon!!!

yammer.....will be following your progress here. today my wife (63, dx ppms 2009) was prescribed rituxan by her neuro. depending on approvals, we look forward to 1st infusion soon. this is a kind of stop-gap therapy until campath comes out early next year....unless of course something good comes fro...

hello step, are you still visiting this forum??? i'm very interested in your msct research and was wondering if you learned anything about dr. uccelli? another name i've come across is dr. gianvito martino, a neuro-immunologist and director of neuroscience @ san raffaele hospital in milan. seems lik...
