This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Are you UK based Asher?

My husband recently attended a talk for newly diagnosed ms people and was told that stem cells were about ten years off. What would you say to that?
Bear in mind that the other half suffers from progressive ms..

Where sci fi goes real science catches up...one day:-)

wow. Can they replace spinal cords? :-/

Did you have RRMS? Does stem cells do the same for people with progressive ms? My MS started out as RRMS and continued that way for 11 years until I went SPMS for the last 4 years of my disease progression at the time of my HSCT. Bottom line, HSCT works on the majority of all types of MS (including...

Did you have RRMS? Does stem cells do the same for people with progressive ms?

More research is needed though. The results so far are a real mixed bag with most people not doing as well as they thought they would. I don't want the MS community to be bogged down with another theory that sounds great but does not actually work in practice. Finding out what causes MS would be a g...

Sarah, We emailed back and forth a while ago. My husband has PRMS. We tried the N-acetyl test (think thats how its spelt) for the time it was recommended. The only thing he got was a slight runny nose,but he wasn't sure if that as due to the rain he got caught in or not. I think we were expecting a ...

Neurology is a complete waste of time for MS. Neurologists don't like being challenged by patients they cannot help.

Researchers have spent so long searching for what the hell MS is and they hav...

Katecw,

How is the treatment working out for you?

We were going to do this but have changed our minds now.

Studies are the way forward. I would like to know why not all people respond to CCSVI and why those who do cannot always maintain their new changes.

woud participation depend on how bad you were to begin with? My other half has tried the bioness. It does nothing for him mainly cos he walks better then what the machine deals with. However, when he tires and stumbles,the machine is still unable to offer any sort of aid. Were beginning to think his...

Thinking of you and wishing you well..

There is never any good news is there..
