Pharm companies are making billions off of us...do they really want to "cure" or prevent MS? By helping us, they would lose the billions they depend on. I'm all for it, but highly sceptical.
Yeah, James, that's the real catch-22 in all this. Sure, treatments are out there, but for some, utterly unavailable. It's frustrating as can be, I'm still trying to get on Tysabri and my second insurance company is now giving me a whole new runaround. I can't win.
