I don’t think we’re allowed to post links here, but I’ve just been reading about **Kamuvudine** on the NIH website. I’m amazed there’s nothing on the main MS society news section, they are normally pretty good at writing up on research news. Reading about it has actually left me a little bit emotional, because this one not only stops future disability, but it also seems to restore existing damage back to how it was. Which is incredible. It sounds like it won’t need to go through quite so many hoops getting it ready for testing, because it’s using an existing medication that is already used in humans. Fingers crossed that it really is the breakthrough that we’ve been waiting for ---

good morning @cymroglyn that could be good news indeed if they manage to pull it off 🤞 I’ll keep my eyes open for any new updates on that. I could certainly do without these brain lesions. I’m sure that many others would appreciate a repair job if it happens aswell 👍 Have a good day mate 🙂 Jon.
