I would add Tcelna (old Tovaxin ) to the list with the Abili-T trial. I see that it hasn't been updated in a while.

Hi,
Small doses of methylphenidate ( Ritalin ) can help. But fatigue has many components to it. Exercise, rest, nutrition etc. Sometimes, resting for 20 minutes greatly helps. I call it " charging the cell phone".

Still wondering whether the color of the Tcelna vial differs from the placebo. In a review of the Tovaxin extension study, Marcia (ssmme) posted that the vial looked murky, cloudy. On the IIb trial in which she received placebo, the vial was transparent. Would appreciate if more people comment on th...

Hi Jane, Thanks again. I too went through similar steps. The first evaluation was to review the records and obtain a baseline neurological evaluation. I saw the neurologist involved in the study at the center i and another one who actually gathered the History and performed the Physical Evaluation. ...

Hi Jane, Thank you for your post, It is EXTREMELY helpful. I goes to show that a little knowledge can be dangerous. ( What do I know? ). When I received the vaccine/placebo, I peeked at the vial and noticed a clear, transparent liquid. Thinking that since the active drug could look different as it c...

Hello all, I am on my fifth day post vaccine. Not much to report. I didn't expected otherwise. Visited my internist 3 days post vaccine and I wasn't using my cane nor had the Bioness powered. Noticed that my left foot drop wasn't as bad then. My internist kept asking me why I didn't power the Biones...

Hi tnmommy, I hope that things go well for you. I don't know if you have MS, how aggressive it will be. I agree with euphoniaa. In MS you have an overactive inmmune system, although as of late it has been mentioned that the problem may be with the regulatory cells that go rogue ( the surveilance). I...

Hello, I will like to please request that my thread on Tcelna for SPMS be moved to the Tovaxin(Tcelna) forum for greater relevance and easier access. It is currently on the general discussion section. I sent a e-mail earlier but was returned. Thank you very much! xpsychiatricmd

Hello all, I received my first Tcelna/placebo vaccination today. I don't know if I received the real thing or not, but I have few comments. Like some people who tried the Tovaxin/placebo trial commented , things didn't go smooth. It turns out that the Tcelna/placebo was not shipped on time but we fi...

I was selected for the Abili-T trial for Tcelna. Next Monday, I will go to the blood bank for the initial 5cc blood collection. Keeping my fingers crossed for the real Tcelna instead of the placebo.

I will keep the forum updated whether I am selected and any changes that could arise from the trial. Thanks to ssmme for the feedback.

Hello all. I am new to this forum. I was diagnosed with MS in 1999, and was able to work as a physician until last year. (Irony of Ironies...physician heal thyself!). I am looking to see whether I am a candidate to get on the Tcelna trial. Has anyone here already been selected? It is a double blind ...
