  1. Re:Why do they call it Multiple Sclerosis.... on DNA Vaccine May Treat Multiple Sclerosis · · Score: 3, Informative

    Can't you just get one? Sclerosis = Scar Tissue

    Multiple Sclerosis = Multiple areas of scarring in the CNS (Brain, Spinal Cord, Optic Nerves)
  2. Great news... on DNA Vaccine May Treat Multiple Sclerosis · · Score: 1

    As someone suffering from MS, this is great news. Currently there are few options to treat the disease, and none are guaranteed to work. If they do work, its marginal at best. :( Currently, I take a weekly injection of interferon to try to slow down disease progression, but it can only slow the disease down at most 30-40%. Hopefully in my lifetime the disease progression can be stopped dead in its tracks. This is a good start...
