Another update.

I had my 3rd blood draw on 9/26 to see if I am producing the myelin reactive t-cells so they can make the vaccine.

I received a phone call today informing me that I am still t-cell negative.

My next appt is Jan 6th.

Either this stuff is working very well or I have completely converted to B-cell production which someone mentioned.

I am totally befuddled and concerned...

Sheesh, Cheryl, I'm befuddled too... How do you feel? Do you feel like the dang stuff is working to halt your MS progression, or not??

I also think it's working Cheryl! It might be a very good thing that you aren't producing the MRTC's.

I hope it goes well, Cheryl.

On a side note, enjoy the score-fest tonight at the Boise State game.

Da' Warriors will be in trouble on the Smurf Turf.
