I wish the news would stop reporting on MS "breakthroughs". More often than not the word "breakthrough" is in the title, but when you read the article it reports on a "possible link" or a "potential cause". It's not a breakthrough until it's a certain cure or a certain cause. Gak!

And if a list was made of all the "possible" and "potential" causes and cures that have fallen by the wayside over the years, it would certainly be very long.

I agree 100%!
On top of getting our hopes up, I get a bunch of people that heard or read that there was a cure.
I always say I'm sure there is sometime after I die.DIAGNOSED=2012

But technically all of those things are considered "breakthroughs" in the true sens of the word. If you are looking for a "cure" as we all are, you will need to look for that word although I wouldn't hold my breath.
The last headline that grabbed my attention was related to the identification of more MS genetic links which was excellent news. It is disgraceful, has hindered progress/knowledge, that the medical community has downplayed the known familial predisposition of MS for so many years.

I always hit Ctrl+F and search for "mouse" and "mice"
If either shows up, I don't bother to read it. Unfortunately one or the other usually does.PPMS
