Yeah, I had never heard about this one.

Like Sandy said, it makes me hopeful that there is something for secondary progressive folks. Overall, I am amazed that so much research is going on. I am making the assumption that it has to do with money being funneled into research and lobbying by the NMSS??

Just to throw this out there....why do you think so much money goes into MS research instead of say, lupus (there are 4-5x as many people than with MS) or Lou Gehrigs, or any kind of chronic blood disorder (you pick!), or rheumatoid arthritis (3x as many) or any other chronic illness.

Do we just happen to have really smart scientists working on MS who are coming up with these new meds. It seems like a lot is on the horizon.
