A member asked:
I heard new drugs for remylination are available now...is it true? can they help my gf who's suffering from spasm and weakness after meningitis?

Name that drug: if you can name the drug you refer to for remyelination of nerves then, I will be able to look into that and tell you whether it is something that is currently available or in the pipeline. Personally, I have not heard of such drugs being available yet because if they were I'm sure there would've been an incredible amount of buzz throughout the neurology world. All quiet on the Western front.
