Thanks for the Biogen article Flutemaker.
I don't trust Biogen for some strange reason. They do a lot BS. First they said they were going to give humans mouse DNA??? Now they changed it to human DNA in the new drug. We will have have whiskers and tails at this rate.

Avonex is made in the ovary of a Red Chinese hamster, and now mouse DNA. Yikes! I bet it will end up being an injectable, not an oral drug. Injectables cost more. This drug will take ages to come to market. A Clinical trial is just being applied for. I hope something better pops out of the pipeline for our myelin repair very soon.

The article says we do not re-myelinate on our own. That is not true, we do, in many people it has been shown to occur. I think someone has their apples and oranges mixed up. Thanks for the article. I like to read what's happening on the drug front even if they were going to re-coat our nerves with mouse goo. Yucky!

Whiskers? I'm perimenopausal and already have a few of those! (Hope I don't grow a tail, too!)

Hi all ! I've been on a 3 mg dosage for more than a week and I've noticed a huge increase in physical energy !! I'm so happy! I've been mia lately. I hope everyone is doing well .

That is great to hear/see, Joelle. If I had more energy I'd be here a lot less, too..

Great news, Joellelee!

Have you gotten past the withdrawals, etc. now too? Pain level is ok?

Cherie

I am postmenopausal and have those goat hairs pop up on my chin. Like one day nothing is there and the next day this 1/2 inch white hair pops out. I think they hide under the skin and jump out when you have a party or someplace to go. They hurt when you pluck them too.

When I am on steroids forget-about-it! Pluck, pluck.

Now Twinkletoes..about those tails. Hmm I'm not even looking.

Great news Joellelee. You did it. You got off that pain med too. I am happy to hear that you have more energy. I think LDN helps with some types of pain too. IMO.

Don't spend all that energy too early in the day. Spread it out and make it last. I overdid it a few times cleaning. I love to clean and had a long to-do list. I have learned to enjoy this new found energy.

Congratulations
