Myelin repair trial

I read about this trial this week being done at the Cleveland Clinic. How exciting would it be to actually be able to repair some of the past damage done by MS? After 20 years I am not even sure how my body would feel. But maybe I'd be able to feel a lot more. I read it was successful in mice, hopefully it will prove true in the trial being done.
I think the Myelin Repair Foundation is very targeted in how they spend their resources so it made me more hopeful to see they are supporting this work.

My neuro mentioned this to me on my last visit a couple of weeks ago and it seems like it's going pretty well. Can't wait to see if this one makes it all the way to the market.

Gentle hugs, Linda

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
