Thank you Kostas. Nice to know I there are others out there trying Cellcept. I am no medical expert, but if you read the pharma description of Cellcept and how it actually affects the immune system, I can see how it would help.

Anyone Using IVIGs?

My neuro has suggested IVIG (intravenous immunoglobulins) for my MS.

I have seen some information out there on the internet about IVIG used for MS in Europe and Israel. But no one seems to know much about it.

Hello All - Where Do I Start?
