Hi, there! I haven't posted here in ages, but I still lurk now and again. This thread on complement and C1q caught my eye. I did some research into this myself back in 2004. See the thread: http://www.thisisms.com/ftopict-433-c1q.html The whole research I did begins with PTX3 and how it pertains to ...

I'm a little late chiming in here (as if anybody really wants me to anyway), but every time something like this (problem with Rituxan) comes up long after I expressed my doubts and why and been chastised by others to the point of me just finally giving up and going away, I can't help but pop back in...

Hello there, Ian! :D Yes, I'm still lurking in the backgrounds. :wink: I jump on and review the threads on this website every so often. I just don't post. And I guess you could definitely say I'm still involved in the MS cause, but again, much more in the background these days. I found it coincident...

The only thing that has actually been FDA approved for treatment of progressive types of MS is Novantrone (chemotherapy drug). Neuros will try other things, but there isn't much of anything out there for actual therapy of the pure progressive types of MS (with no definable relapses or inflammation)....

Conditions under which Tysabri will come back to market
I posted this in another thread just now, but figured it might need it's own thread. This is a March 27th update regarding the return of Tysabri: http://www.nationalmssociety.org/tysabri_march8.asp Excerpt: "....Its key recommendations for approval include: • Tysabri be made available only to p...

Ok...UPDATE!
Anyone seen this yet? Apologies if it has already been posted, but note the criteria that will come along with prescribing Tysabri.

Determining the relative risks and benefits for Tysabri is a complicated matter. There are data that are being considered by the Advisory Panel that have not generally been in the public domain. Yeah, well, don't overlook THAT above statement, either! How much does the public really know in order t...

I suspect that one of the problems with helping neuropathy in MS is because of the interactions of the drugs. Diabetic and fibromyalgia neuropathies are helped quite a lot by adding an anti-depressant (usually a tri-cylic of some kind). The same thing would probably hold true for MS, also, BUT the d...
