It is not possible for you guys to know whether it has slowed down your disease progression. In fact, I think even the best researchers can't really show this because they lack biomarkers. The only way researchers are ever going to know if something is neuroprotective without biomarkers, is if the neuroprotectiveness is really spectacular.
I have taken Isradipine for about 4-5 years now. My progression is slow. Is that due - or partially due to Isradipine? No idea. But I'll keep taking it.
