Others with time tend to repair some or all of the damage by making certain growth enzymes. Research is just beginning on this factor, so there is little in the way of quick hope...but with time some stem cell treatment might be devised.

Thank-you. I was told by my GP and the neurologist that the current state of play is almost certainly permanent whatever the cause. But then both have said things they've now gone back on so better to learn this through you really because my trust in the medical profession is at an all time low today. I've never been one for running with false hopes although I'm fundamentally optimistic.
