This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

I still haven't received the call from life blood for a procurement! 42 days and counting...........zzzzzzzzzzz[/i] You are very patient! I would call and leave a message for Shannon at Opexa (281-272-9331 x3405) daily to let her know that you need to be scheduled ASAP! For better or worse, calls t...

OK, why don't we put together a list of everyone's schedule? Let me know where you're at in this process and I will compile it into a list and maybe put it up as a "Sticky." As it stands: Lew-- 5th injection ~July 23 Mike-- 1st injection July 15 Sweetyhide-- 1st injection July 22 Marcia-- ...

Howdy all,

I'm curious, who's the next person that will be joining the 100 Day (+) Club? My first injection is July 15 so I won't be eligible until October 23.

Mike

Time for me to move on I think. I'm going to start discussions with my doctor on Monday. Lew, I'm very sorry to hear that things are not working out for you. MS certainly seems to be a complex beast so I suppose it's asking too much for one treatment to take care of everybody. Please keep us update...

I have a question...For those of you that are in the club - how long did it take for your vaccine to be created? Mike Tucker and I had our procurement on the same day within 30 minutes of each other. He will be dosed around the 15th of July. I won't be dosed till around mid August. Marcia, It appea...

I'm sorry I went on a rant like that, but that's what I do. Lew, No apologies necessary! What it all comes down to is things are what they are..... you're having a tough time and the current treatment is not dealing with your problems. This weekend will be a big measure of how your doing since you ...

Lew,

Have things bounced back in a positive direction for you?

Take care,
Mike

He said that this was quite dangerous because there is a theoretical possibility that the immune system could not only begin attacking the myelin reactive t-cells but could also start attacking other t-cells. Take a look at http://www.tv.wallst.net/r/3-minute-press/kazman/113/537 for a short interv...

After about an entire month of feeling better, I have slipped back to where I was before, and actually a little worse. Lew, I'm sorry to hear that you're not doing well. You can take my comments from here for what they're worth, which probably isn't much since whether or not I was on Tovaxin is tot...

Hello all, Another thing that I think should be brought up is the idea of "epitope shift." In going through some of the published work from Opexa I remember that they make a reference to epitope shift for people moving from one round of Tovaxin vaccine to the next round of Tovaxin vaccine....

On a different note, I got the pleasure to meet Mike Tucker (hmtucker is screen name) Marcia, It was great to meet both you and your husband! You're right putting faces to screen names is always great! Hopefully we'll be on the same schedule for our vaccinations as well. All went well with my procu...

Howdy Brad,

Welcome to the site! I'm a few years ahead of you..... I'm a Fightin' Texas Aggie Class of '88.

I'll be going in for my extension procurement on Monday.

Take care,
Mike

Howdy all, Marcia and I, we're both doing the study here in Lexington, Ky, are officially scheduled for our procurement blood draw next Monday, May 5! I guess it could be simply coincidence but I have been contacted within a day every time I have called Opexa and left a message for Shannon letting h...

It's been one entire month since my final IIb visit and I have heard nothing about anything from anyone. Should I contact Opexa, my neurology clinic, or just sit back and shut up? Marcia, I would call AIN and talk with either Laura or Caroline. Feel free to let them know that you know that even tho...

Howdy gang, Well, good news in our backwards kinda' way.... I just received the call from my study center that I do indeed make MRTC's and that everything is a "go" for procurement! Supposedly LifeBlood will be contacting me soon and the study center coordinator said that the procurement s...
