I will say that my sister had Rituxan for her RA and it really seems to have worked.

I hope it works for MS as well.

Biodec?

Was once Biogen and Idec. They call it Biogen later in the story but introduce them as Biodec. I was married to a Idec employee when the merge happened. She predicted it would soon just be Biogen again. I guess Biodec is a transitional species. ;)

I’m sure the Trial Lawyers will put these companies out of business as soon as they find some federally funded study that shows that using these drugs increases your chances of developing a scratch resistant strain of athlete’s foot.

You bet your arse it is, balls.

When Teddy and Obambi are in charge, don’t look for such advances in alzheimers and parkinsons.

thank you!

[So Circumstanced]

Thankyou for posting this. The person I know has yet to start with infusions, but it is nice to hear of such a breakthrough and such promise of an alternative mediation, for such a time that that person might have to resort to it.

drop in brain legions after just two infusions of the drug.

Actual pic of the brain legions:

According to the study, patients using Rituxan saw a 58% decrease in M.S. flare-ups and a 91% drop in brain legions after just two infusions of the drug.

HAIL, CEREBRUM!

My wife was diagnosed with MS back in 1996, she can barely get up to go to work but refuses to quit.She tried those outrageously expensive shots, its a proven fact I have found about the medical field, the more you are afflicted with certain diseases the more ways they have to find a way to make big bucks off of you.

Three months ago I went on workmans comp with a crushed finger, WC payed me a very sizable weekly check but I kept getting solicitations from all kinds of sources asking me for medical records, my personal info and repeat visits to doctors that did little except take a cursory look and send in a bill.

Our whole medical system is rotten with overbilling, overpriced drugs and rampant abuse of health insurance.

Screw any nationwide health plan, I would rather go to another country.
