Epstein-Barr Virus #EBV was linked to #MultipleSclerosis - now a plausible cause has been found, misidentification by longterm memory T-cells that pick on the wrong protein, ANO2, instead of the EBV-antigen. Massive inflection towards the elimination of MS!!! 🧪🧠Cell www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

Anoctamin-2-specific T cells link Epstein-Barr virus to multiple sclerosis

Researchers identified anoctamin-2 (ANO2) as a frequent autoimmune target in multiple sclerosis, with T cell responses against ANO2 occurring in over half of patients. These ANO2-specific T cells shar...

Some don’t recall what it was like before the #ACA. I do, was diagnosed young with #MultipleSclerosis. Folks with chronic illness will again face death & disability no matter how hard they try, no matter how much they have saved. They’ll lose it all in medical bills. All will pay more. #VoteHellNo

Ignore RFK. Vaxx your kids. Like other sneaky viruses #COVID hides. You may not know for yrs. I’ve had #MultipleSclerosis 26 yrs. Turns out #MS is Long Epstein Barr, a virus that circulates widely in the US, especially amongst our young. Vax would have saved me. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The last time I was in Louisville was 2yrs ago. My walking was starting to go & I was upset that I couldn’t walk The Big Four Bridge anymore. Every attempt had my legs give out. Today I had one goal: Walk the bridge & back. Look! I DID IT!! 💪🏻😃 #MultipleSclerosis #travel #disability

Last treatment for #MultipleSclerosis I don't know what to think. I guess happy because my disease has not progressed and it's all thanks to it. So, thank you, Rituximab.

The pioneering research uncovering the viral causes of #MultipleSclerosis I mentioned in my previous post just won this year's Breakthrough prize. “A few decades ago, young scientists were advised to pick another disease to study”. The reality now of #NeuroCovid and #LongCovid shorturl.at/zVRNO

2022 was a great year for #MultipleSclerosis research. A study with over 10 million demonstrated an increased risk for MS after EBV infection. Another study proved how EBV does molecular mimicry to induce autoimmunity and destroy the neurons' myelin. #NeuroCovid time will arrive.

Keep in mind, we could have already advanced so much in this field if, for political reasons, mRNA vaccines were not severely attacked over the past 5 years. We are closer than ever to a cure for #MultipleSclerosis, and that involves preventing #EBV from damaging the brain.

Common virus jab could be key in fight against multiple sclerosis

The vaccine will be trialled in patients recently diagnosed with MS

You should care about disability rights even if you don't care about other people at all. If you stay alive long enough, the question of whether you’ll become disabled is less a matter of if than when. #MS #PPMS #MultipleSclerosis

Cost for a brand name oral #MultipleSclerosis medication is around $9,961 for a 30-day supply ($29,883 for 90 days), depending on the pharmacy. Cost for a 90-DAY SUPPLY of the generic through #CostPlus is…. $18 which INCLUDES SHIPPING. #MarkCubanIsOneExceptionToEatTheRich @costplusdrugs.com

Book recommendation 😁! Reading and loving Hauser's book. He tells about his 40-year quest that led to the development of the first and only therapy currently in place for #MultipleSclerosis patients. “A few decades ago, young scientists were advised to pick another disease to study”
