Just watched the news, you know how it goes, cure found for awful disease, (rheumatoid arthritis this time) but this time it sounded as though they were actually treating people right now, injections being given etc.
Stops white cells attacking healthy cells. "Puts an end to this crippling disease", "people are using the word 'cure'" etc.
I was quite hopeful; sounded like just the ticket for MS. Stupid me.
Last words of the report were, "researchers hope the drug will be available in ten years".
I should (and do) know better but for some reason it really upset me.
I could imagine how excited all those people with RA watching would have been.
Raising false hope, even for five minutes, is just cruel.
