Why has my neurologist never mentioned this drug to me?

I have read about it extensively today and while a lot of the reports are too clinical in nature for me to understand I have gotten the basic message that Thalidomide has been shown to have positive effects on relieving MS symptoms and slowing down the demyelination process.

I'm going to ask about this drug when I go to the Neuro on the 6th.

"lenalidomide could alleviate the symptoms of EAE mainly through decreased inflammatory cells infiltration in CNS and strong attenuating typical demyelination."
