HY Cy INFORMATION

I was treated back in June 08 at Hopkins with an "experimental" treatment of High-Dose Cyclophosphamide for Moderate to Severe Refractory Multiple Sclerosis. It was a 3 day treatment much like Chemo, my immune system was wiped out, and my blood counts taken to near zero. I spent 3 weeks having my blood counts being brought back up. Since then the unwelcome visitor has been quite and all subsequent MRI's and blood work have confirmed that the MS I HAD is in remission! Johns Hopkins is doing great work with MS research and they have a great WEBSITE, thats what lead me to them.

Glad you are doing well. In addition to what Lulu askes about the treatment, can you fill us in a bit on the moderate and severe refractory MS.

Thanks much,

That is great news.  Has this moved from "experimental" to mainstream treatment yet?

We would love to know more about your experience at JH.

be well, stay well-
