Progressive Multiple Sclerosis

I am so glad that you are woking on studying progressive MS! Thank you for doing this!
Hugs,

Please keep up this research!!!!!!!!

I would suggest focusing on lowered endorphin levels in lab rats and those studied before and after the use of Low Dose Naltrexone.

Well, isn't that the disease that cellist Jacqueline Du Pre had?

Wow! Someone who talks about progressive MS! None of the Neurotrons here seem to have even heard of such a thing, and dismiss those of us who have it as lazy or as malingerers. Then again, the Neuros here don't like to diagnose MS even if all three tests major accepted tests come back positive. Once when I was having a nasty exaserbation one of the Pakistani Neuros prescribed yogurt! LOL! YOGURT!!! Well, I ate my yogurt and nothing changed, but at least he was happy.

good grief!
I absolutely agree- nobody seems to know or care about we people with progressive MS. All the drugs etc are always for people with R/R MS.

The problem is all in the numbers. Drug companies research and manufacture drugs which will bring them the largest profits(though to be fair,they do provide money and resources for research which won't bring in a rusty penny if it will help a large number of people).Those of us with progressive MS are a very small subset of a disease which is itself considered rare(don't you feel special?)So the drug companies aren't interested.Our best hope lays with researchers like the one in this video.

She is a great PI, and does great work. If there is anyone who can find the answers it would be her!

Interesting video for a guy that was dignosed with M.S. I am interested in the stem cell therapy, so keep me posted.
