Is anyone taking this over the counter antihistamine and seeing any improvement in their symptoms?

They are testing an over-the-counter antihistamine, Tavist, to promote remyelination. It is being tested on relapsing remitting patients, but I can't think of a reason why they don't try it out on people with PPMS. The generic of this product at any drugstore is called Clemastine. I'm thinking about...

Pledge drive underway on crowdfunding website to raise money for MS clinical trial from Tisch MS Center. Hope more donors sign up. Link below.

link below shows the progress to date on their crowdfunding pledge drive for their upcoming stem cell trial. Hope more people donate to fund their clinical trial.

That is great. Just I have one question with all those similar stem cell therapies, do they stop progression? I'm asking because I'm planning to have HSCT by the end of the year and just pure stem cell sounds much safer. It might be some more years before this is available to the public, but I migh...

I've read some positive articles showing the potential of CBD derived from the Marijuana plant in treating MS. CBD does not produce any psychotropic effects, but may provide some help in dealing with inflammation. Do you know if a CBD product is available and where to purchase it? Dixie Botanicals (...

the next phase beyond the use of stem cells is using nanotechnology to repair myelin sheath damage. I read an interesting article in this cutting edge area of research.

the article I read regarding Stem Cell trials in the UK to treat MS is listed below. After reviewing the article, if you stumble on additional information on the trials let me know.

I heard there is a clinical trial taking place primarily in the UK testing stem cells to treat MS. I believe around 150 patients are enrolled across Europe. I'm curious how that is coming along and if there has been any early information released regarding its effectiveness?
