By studying proteins in blood samples, they identified early immune signals and markers of nerve damage. The findings point to IL-3 and MOG as crucial early indicators — and open the door to new diagnostic blood tests and preventive strategies.

This strikes me as significant, particularly since so many with MS have felt sure that they actually had MS years before it was diagnosed--the oddball episode of paralysis or limb weakness or whatever.SPMS diagnosed 1980. Avonex 2001-2004. Copaxone 2006-2009. Glatopa (glatiramer acetate = Copaxone) 12/20 - 3/19/24.
