No kidding Cherie! Jim has been banned from any and all new therapies due to a bad reaction five years ago. He was on a chemo IV treatment and went into kidney failure exactly one month later. They have said any new therapies that have the potential to lower his immune system is off limits. He's been stuck rotating Avonex, Beta and Copax since then. He's currently on Beta and has muscle tightness and hot flashes with it but they are tolerable.
This new treatment, if it's as potentially safe as the shots, could be just what would work! And it's for SPMS and PPMS!!!!!!! Your right that if it works well for those with more progressive forms of ms, imagine what it can do for RRMS!
Any idea when this could actually become available?
