A story from my local newspaper. Professor Scolding is my neurologist and all round good egg. At my last appointment with him he intimated that he hopes to be starting human trials within a year.
Hey Ian, if you start machine gunning MS researchers could you leave the Prof til last? I actually believe that he may be one of our best hopes for full restitution from MS

Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Don't forget to mention your old friend Ian when you next meet Professor Scolding! If you can get me on the trial you won't be driving around in that clapped out BMW for much longer.

PS Prof Scolding does seem very nice. Here is his answers to some questions I asked him.
Hey! my BMW is not clapped out!!! As you're turning up to the wedding, for that comment I've decided to sit you next to Julie's sister in law!!!!. I can be sooooo cruel when I want to be!
Push me further and you'll be sat next to her mother!!!!!!!!
Unfortunately as I'm already on a clinical trial I'll probably be unable to get myself on another one but It's comforting for me to know that a researcher like Neil Scolding feels he's that close. Camapth to keep me from deteriorating any further and then stem cells to give it all back.
Works for me

I think you said you have had MS for 35 years - I can see by your posts that you are still as bright as a button - so the atrophy is not having much affects on your cognitive functions.
The phrase 'unrelenting cerebral atrophy' gives me sleepness nights and I told Dr Coles this. What we need is that expanding foam which builders use to fill holes. We could squirt some through our ears and problem solved. Biogen could market it as Foamamab and we could retire wealthy.
