Sometimes looking at an issue from a different 'angle' or 'light' can make a difference?
I truly hope this is useful to some.... - j

Between amyloid and prions...sheesh. Thanks for the insight.

All should read this
 

Ijust read the article about PN. I have had PN for 10 years but still learned from this. This should be a must read especially new members. This would answer many questions that they ask.

I strongly recommend that this information be put in the Stickies.

What bout this sudy:

Does anone knows ore about this? Is there any clinical trial being done on humans?

Many neuro problems overlap?
 

And, at times, it seems as if researchers are going willy-nilly following funding, but often....discoveries in any one area truly affect others! That's why I keep reading these 'snippets' and posting them.
For each of us? Somewhere there are 'Connections!' Ever so random? But they are there....
Philipe? About this find...I'd missed it [and it sounds promising] due to a bad injury and my attention span on such readings was little if at all. It IS a good find? But they've been doing 'research' on marine creatures for years and I've yet to see an outcome of any substance ....SIGH! What they do with slugs and snails could astound you! Again? No further outcomes... In the end? The researchers and docs have better ideas of how nerves die, some clues as to WHY they might die, but little clues about how the RE-GROW! And about the best advice is up in the stickies as to how that might happen....meaning we eat right, live right, and work out our bodies as best we can to keep moving.
We do need more docs who are curious to treat us, let alone diagnose us properly! How we can approach such 'insular' societies is really difficult. Even established groups on behalf of PN and GBS/CIDP don't agree on how to do things to make our voices, FRUSTRATED ONES, come across loud and clear to the medical AND research communities!
I'll try to keep an eye on the NIH's pending clinical trials...site is here:http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/results?term=neuropathy
I wish I could offer one clear path to do so? But it's not really there.
There IS hope as long as research IS being done, and it's seeming more and more is happening now. Can't explain it? But like all here? I wanted it yesterday!
Cycleops? Yeah, it does put fur on your chest! Doesn't it? That or scare you bald!
Hugs :hug:'s and hope to all! - j
