I know that you spend a great deal of time on many MS forums, but you do not have the disease. If you had it for 3 or 4 decades, you would realize that the old timers who have severe, life changing conditions are not as eager to claim any "cure" that does not repair damage.
Your wife seems to have a relatively mild case of MS now. She would be a lot happier with something that stopped her progression than I would be without the added repair equation.
Come back in 20 years and let us know if your opinion as to what a cure is has changed.

Thanks GMI,
I'm not certain that I have a specific opinion of what a cure would be; I just think it's on oft overlooked thing as we think about MS. I suppose what I'm saying is that it's something we all want, but we don't talk about it.
Regarding Kim, she is improved, though, one never knows. We have a bright and shiny red Hoveround scooter that she got before her once-in-a lifetime shot at Novantrone. Being SPMS and taken off Novantrone was very hard and deeply painful for both of us. So while I don't have MS, I dedicate much of my life to it - everyday and I'd gladly live with MS if it meant Kim wouldn't have to anymore.
