News out on Rituxan I see this this morning in the Wall Street Journal Rituxan, a top-selling drug from Genentech Inc. and Biogen Idec Inc., failed to slow the course of the most severe form of multiple sclerosis in a large study, the companies said. It went on to say that on a trial of the companies' study, which followed 439 patients for 96 weeks, Rituxan didn't significantly slow the course of the disease, which gradually robs patients of motor function and causes tremors, tingling and fatigue. Secondary results -- like whether Rituxan improved MRI scans of patients' brains -- weren't released. In a smaller study last year, Rituxan slowed down the less-severe form of MS, which has several approved drugs, including Biogen's Avonex and Tysabri. The companies have disagreed over what to do next. The matter is subject to an arbitration hearing this summer. The full article is below. Roy  |

Thanks for the update! It's nice to know what drugs aren't worth the frustration of even trying. Considering we've tried our share and get the idea of what works for us, let's figure out the cure.

P.S. Quicken contacted me to let me know everything is good and they need two recent pay stubs and more accurate salary numbers. I rounded them off and they want exact. So, I faxed them my 2006 and 2007 W-2's. I faxed them paystubs from January in the beginning but they want more recent.
What difference does it make? The pay is the same every two weeks why do they need most recent? I'm sick to death of this! This has to end SOOOOOOOON

Hi Roy,
I found this in the Action magazine published by United Spinal Association http://www.unitedspinal.org
Promising Results in Cancer/Arthritis Drug's Ability to Treat MS:
re: a study published in the Feb 14 issue of The New England Journal of Medicine.
re: small phase II trial of people with RRMS treated with Rituxan
you can look at NEJM or the following for more info
http://www.webmd.com/multiple-sclerosis/new/20080213/rituximab-shows-promise-for-ms.
(FYI: United Spinal Association is a non-profit dedicated to people with spinal cord injuries and disorders (that includes things like MS) They have a wealth of info!!!)

What was all that about?? The thread reviews? Where did that come from? Not being a computer person - I don't know what all that meant. |

I have no idea what what they was trying to get across. I Google it and this is the reply that I got. Your search - ARRAY(0xaaf1a90) - did not match any documents. May be who ever wrote it can tell us what it mean. Roy |
