New Neuropathy study.....
 

HI All!
Here's a link to the study for that new MS vaccine. The vaccine helped heal the Myelin sheaths in MS patients. Let's hope one day this study will help all of us with Neuropathy!

Thanks Roxie
 

I'm printing this off for a friend whose daughter has MS. She has 2 small children.

I appreciate the post.

Roxie, good homework!
 

Isn't that Medical News Today summary wonderful? You can pick and choose and learn soo much.
My only complaint is that soo much research is still on the 'mouse model' phase!

Keep up the good work! - j

HI Billye! I hope these injections will eventually help your friends daughter. I can't imagine living with MS and have small children!

J and Rose, My dear husband searched out the link for this article after hearing about it on the news yesterday. I sure hope it helps lots of people with MS and can help us too!

Roxie, Many of us with 'demeyelination' issues...
 

really are not that different from those with MS...the PLACE where the demeyelination occurs is simply different.
MS the deterioration occurs in the Brain...with potenatially broader and long term permanent damage consequences..
In a way, we are 'lucky' that our deterioration occurs at the extremities. I suggest that you read up about MS folks on this board and others...Their fears are akin to ours. Their research helps US. It Does NOT make it hurt less?
Surgeries and other major 'invasions' for testing are similar in the rationales for doing them and their potential pitfalls.
Ultimately, we really are part of a very LARGE neurological world. Then part of an even LARGER medical world with all the other things we have as a result of or because of what we 'have'.
We definitely are a GOOD part [tho esoteric] of a somewhat far larger part of a bunch of really good folks who HURT!
We are not alone, ever... - j
