UPDATE:
I've had my 2nd MRI 18 months after my last. I have been on hGH now for approximately 10 months (I was unable to get supply for about a month). It's been a long, long process but well worth the results.
I saw my neurologist yesterday, I'll cut a long story short.
He said --
* "Your condition hasn't changed in 18 months and appears stable"
* "There is no point putting you on any of the toxic MS medication as it would have no benefit"
* "Whatever you're doing is working, keep it up, we'll review it more closely in 5 years time"

I have mentioned about the hGH to him - he wasn't concerned at all and was interested. He was aware that both the MS society and another group are studying the benefits of it and it's never shown any harm so he's happy for me to take it if it's working (or just a placebo, who knows, it doesn't feel like a placebo)
I've slowed down a tiny bit in general - it's easy to get carried away with all the newfound energy, but it does catch up with you - recovery days are critical, but bouncing back is fast. Also I'm yet to get an actual cold/flu or even an illness - when I do, I just seem to get a bit 'weak' for a few days and bounce back. I feel a bit like crap, but I haven't spend a day in bed sick either. Colds & Flu used to trigger it off badly!
Last of all - my quest for removal of inflammation is almost over.
Interesting stuff but not really:
* I have had MS now for 17 years
* I have had my whole front 8 teeth replaced with crowns, 3d printed, they look good. My teeth were destroyed and causing inflammation in my neck area, glands etc. This has gone now.
* I had septoplasty done in Jan this year to allow my sinus's to function correctly. Allergies, etc would also set my MS off a lot - usually just pseudo stuff, finger tingling and the likes until it went away. Now with proper sinus's I don't seem to get allergies as bad, I can breathe better (and sleep better).

the bionic MS man...signing out..
CureOrBust - how are you going? It's a shame you felt nothing - what 'gear' were you getting? Were you paying through the teeth for it, mines pre-mixed and made by SciGen who also make MS meds (the stuffs actually made all in Ryde just near me) - I get it directly from the doctor now but I'm paying in 6 month doses but it's 'fresh' gear (18 month+ expiry) and 100% hasn't been comprimised by heat, etc. I'm not sure how the premixed works - sorry
I am a fairly little guy - I struggled with basic tasks and yes, I haven't grown much bigger externally, but internally I feel a lot better/stronger/healthier. I've also treated myself pretty poorly the last 15 years odd of my life, and I'm probably feeling some of the benefits there too.
