Yeah, but look how many questions those few words generated for you?

I would love (and prefer ) if they could come out with a vaccine, like we have for measles ... but I'm not going to be holding my breath for that ...

If not that, maybe an anicdote ... but not one that just takes care of the immediate problem (attack/flare). A cure to me would be that it stops the disease in it's tracks, whenever MS is discovered. So, it would NOT be like insulin for diabetes (which means the underlying disease still exists, but it is hopefully "managed" to some degree). The reason I don't like that option is because we all know that it is next to impossible to assess whether these treatments are working to any degree for sometimes many, many years ... I want it to STOP, no if's, and's or but's!!

I wish there would be no damage to contend with after the first event, and if they were able to stop MS in it's tracks immediately after dx, in most cases there wouldn't be. However, for those of us who have had it for years, I think it is unrealistic to think that our nerves could regenerate to pre-MS standards.

For me, the ceasation of progression is a cure. For those who are just starting out with MS, that would mean they didn't accumulate any/much anyway, so that would also be a cure.

We can do poll's on here, Ken. I am going on memory, but I think the option is at the bottom of the screen when you start a new thread.
