The closest thing we have available to HSCT right now is Lemtrada... and it's readily available... In Canada and the UK it can be used as a first line treatment but in the US it's usually prescribed only if two other DMTs have failed.

2 weeks till I start it in Toronto, Canada. If anyone wants more info on it, I feel like I've become a little expert on it Feel free to PM me.

I really hate getting reminded of this. I believe it too and it's not fair.

I also think it's ******** they can't even figure out how exactly it starts....what is the main cause. They probably do know.

Doctors line Big Pharma's pockets while we (the patients) line both the doctor's and Big Pharma's pockets...........all while some of us struggle to now live on a fixed income.
Unfortunately I agree too. They want money, not a cure. I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out they know how to cure it and have been suppressing that all along.

" Overall, 89 percent of the patients were alive and free of relapses at two years " 11% died? from complications of treatment?
