Thanks

Still waiting to hear from neuro. He is on vacation until March 1st.

hat does your MS neuro think?

Perhaps this treatment could help with pain and other symptoms, I don't know. If nothing less radical helps (meds for symptoms, PT, etc.) works, I don't see how it could hurt. Maybe in the pocketbook, as I imagine it is quite expensive, and not likely to be covered by insurance.

I would never expect this to have an impact on disease progression, nor would I recommend this in lieu of conventional MS treatment drugs.

Thank you for your feedback. I do not know if it will help. However, I met a woman at my last infusion who has several autoimmune disorders and swears that it helps her ms. With that said, I reached out to the group and my ms specialist for feedback.

Why would you think this would help? And do you think this is a good treatment that somehow is being suppressed?

Personally, I am confident that neurologists around the world are promoting the best scientifically-verified treatments thus far available. Do you doubt this? If so, please explain.
