This is the edge of knowledge we neurologists most inhabit and become familiar with if we treat a disease like Ms. We have these highly effective treatments now but we don’t really know what risks we’re running long term, or whether our patients’ current good progress will be sustained. MS-Selfie is almost essential to any general neurologist treating MS, which really includes the so-called neuro-immunologists, whose title in some ways reflects their very limited knowledge of immunology. Thank you Prof Giovannoni for this immersion. We need this in other sub-specialties but what you’ve done for patients with MS and neurologists who treat it is remarkable.

The human organism is complicated. There's impressive focus on how to stop the disease progression, to which I'm grateful but there is far less focus into optimizing or helping the body's own potential to repair or replenish. The body when everything is in order 'wants' to heal itself. Why so little effort there as well. Am I wrong for asking?!
