TWIL: some very encouraging MS news

I know it’s only a study with mice, but every MS breakthrough began with mice. I even think I recall there were mice bred to be born with the mouse version of MS, poor things. I hope they have bladder botox made available to them at no cost.

MS drugs work to reduce the attacks, and most reduce them by a third. This drug does that too, but it also keeps mice from becoming ill, to a degree. So that’s nice, too.

But the big news is this drug reversed MS vision loss and paralysis in the mice who had been damaged by the illness.

My first thought was, sign me up for the human trial, but of course my next thought was, wait, I’m not blind or paralyzed. But good news for those MS people who are. I hope they fast track this one as much as possible.
