🚨 This MS medication could promote myelin repair! Here’s what to know 👇 Myelin (aka the protective coating around your nerves) gets damaged in MS, leading to all kinds of frustrating symptoms. Most MS medications focus on slowing relapses, but this new research shows that Teriflunomide could actually help restore our damaged myelin!! 🙌 Here’s how it works 🧠: 1️⃣ Teriflunomide supports the mature cells that are responsible for rebuilding myelin. 2️⃣ It boosts mitochondrial health in these cells, giving them the energy they need to repair and regrow. 3️⃣ Whether taken in pulses or continuously, Teriflunomide improved myelin repair in a research model. So, what does this mean for you? Functional myelin repair could: ✅ Protect your nerves from further damage ✅ Improve nerve function ✅ Reduce long-term disability As an MS-specialized physical therapist, I’m excited about this research because it focuses on remyelination, not just immune system suppression. 👩⚕️ I’ll keep you posted as more info comes out, but this is an amazing step toward combining repair with symptom management.
