Newly Diagnosed MS

As strange as it might sound. Leprosy, tuberculosis, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes and MS might have one common fact — clofazimine. Clofazimine has been on the market for more than 100 years. Some brilliant people at Johns Hopkins have found out that clofazimine has some kind of interaction in our immune system. It would be too technical to go further into detail — but you can read more about this at the sciencedaily website.

Where do we go from here? All I can say on this matter is that I do believe that with all the good news I am reading tthese days that our live will get better. They will find the one medication that will be able to cure MS at one point. We just have to hang in there and hope that the ms cure will come in time for us to have a positive outcome, as well.

Try to have a positive outlook, as well. To me — every day I read about new studies in MS research is a good day. All we have to do is wait for the one big finding that will help us all.  And who knows — this day might come quicker than we think.

So cross your fingers and take care.

This morning I woke up to this great news on my viigo blackberry newsreader. I thought I might share this inforamtion here on my blog so more and more people will hear about it.

The BBC reported today that MS stem-cell treatment as a ‘success’. A small study had been done to see whether stem cells could be a way to help people with MS. The study suggested two things

1.)stem-cell transplats may control MS symptoms
2.)and even better — may even reverse multiple sclerosis symptoms

Of course, there is always the ethic aspects and some people will always oppose stem cell research etc. But then there are people who believe that there is nothing wrong with stem-cell research and that we should do everything we can in order to save people’s life. And if stem-cells can be used to make our life better, than I wouldn’t mind these kind of treatments.

Maybe this will be what we are all looking for.
