How near are we for a cure for ms?

Really close!!: Our understanding of disease mechanisms and causation is literally galloping, and new drugs are appearing like clockwork. A research drug lemtrada may actually stop the disease "cold" for yrs after two sets of infusions. The oral agent, gilenya, (fingolimod) can curtail the disabling brain atrophy in many. Our experience with vitamin d is exciting. Stay tuned, we are getting there!

Well....: I believe we are still tossing several different diseases into the bucket labeled "MS." Some will yield sooner than others.
