Default Interesting article out of Stanford - re: different types of MS
This is interesting...

http://blog.al.com/spotnews/2010/03/...tiple_scl.html

Basically discusses how there are two types of MS - one that responds to interferon treatment and one that is made worse by such treatment - based on the types of helper cells in the individual.

Wouldn't that be great, if we knew who would respond positively to Beta Interferons and who would not, before you started jabbing yourself???

Thanks Keri.

There was a discussion of this study on Gupta's blog at CNN.
