Was I cured?? No!! Dr Weiner can call it what he want's, but remission is NOT a cure.
I wish your wife a long remission.  |
Thanks Sally,
Have you been symptom free since the second one? It would be a really great thing if we could all hold back the effects of MS like that. Do you attribute that to a particular intervention? I'm always interested to know what works for folks.
Kim had exaserbations with recurring frequency, about one every year or two, including while SPMS on Novantrone. She's had a lot of 5-day Solumedrol drips, so for her - going 27 months with no relapse is a significant change from a well established pattern.
