Re: No active lesions! YEAH for parasites?!!!

I think they actually do want to leave you off treatment for a while so that numbers go back up I just meant Phase 2 does include an observation period at the end, which I have already completed. The study doctors will not be checking me any longer for increased MS activity. All other diagnosis at ...

Re: No active lesions! YEAH for parasites?!!!

Since I have already been through the observation period for the end of the study I can start the shots right away if I want to. Or whatever other treatment I decide.

Re: No active lesions! YEAH for parasites?!!!

Lyon, I think they expected the last MRI to already show MS activity but the docs and myself are blinded to previous MRIs so I really have no idea how long I have had no active lesions. Of course if I don't participate in the next part of the study I don't know if they would even have access to my n...

Re: No active lesions! YEAH for parasites?!!!

2nd treatment today

It has been two weeks already since my first treatment with TSO. I have had no problems to this point. I did have 1 day with 1 episode where I had to get to the bathroom rather quickly. :oops: Was this associated with my treatment? Who knows. It was not persistent and really was just one episode so ...

Parasite eggs swallowed today

A parasite walks into a bar. The bartender says “we don’t serve your kind in here.” The parasite says “well you’re not a very good host.” Sorry I have to have some humor with all of this. So today was my first treatment for the helminth clinical trial at the UW of Madison. I was very nervous on the ...

Re: It's not so easy

You might or not be aware that a friend at the University of Wisconsin/Madison is on the phase II using the T suis helminth against MS and although it's blinded there are good reasons to think that he's finding good results.....despite the myriad of reasons NOT to think that good results would be f...
