One of my good friends was diagnosed with MS just 2 years ago. He has been involved in an NIH program for trial/experimental treatments and has been in remission for quite some time now.
Kat, he has been trialing the pill you are probably talking about. I am kinda out of the loop since he doesn't talk about it too much, but he has been doing pretty damned good this year. No matter how you look at it, "something" is working, heh.
