🚨 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.

Multiple Sclerosis scientists from Harvard engineered "designer" gut bacteria that could change MS treatment as we know it. 🚨 👩‍⚕️ As an MS-certified physical therapist, I'm excited to break down this groundbreaking research for you...  Traditional MS treatments face 2 major challenges: 1️⃣ They can't effectively cross the blood-brain barrier.  2️⃣ Their effectiveness fluctuates throughout the day. But here’s how this NEW approach is different:  👉 Researchers identified that dendritic cells (immune cells) have a built-in "brake system" that can stop autoimmune attacks. They then engineered probiotics to activate this brake. Here’s why it’s so fascinating for those of us who work with people with MS: ✅ The bacteria never leave the gut ✅ Yet they reduced MS symptoms in the brain ✅ This confirms the gut-brain connection we've been studying in MS!! From my clinical perspective, this research is particularly exciting because: 💥 It offers a more targeted approach to inflammation 💥 The bacterial strain is already tested in humans 💥 It could provide consistent treatment levels, unlike current medications Of course, while this research (in mouse models) is promising, we'll need human trials to confirm these effects. But as someone who works with patients who have MS daily, I'm encouraged by this innovative approach to targeting the gut-brain axis. ⚠️ Note: While I stay current on MS research to better serve my clients, always consult with your healthcare team about treatment options.
