A possible glimmer of hope?

Hi All,

I read this on the BBC website today

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7560535.stm

I know it's to do with RA, but at the bottom of the article it states that this could possible be applied to other auto-immune diseases :)

Fingers so firmly crossed :)

Thanks for that.
Does look hopeful doesnt it. I was interested in the news of it today. Thats given me a bit more information.
I was diagnosed with RA for about 12 years so I know how devastating a disease it can be. In a way I was glad when I was finally diagnosed with Lupus.
Sounds like it could also work for other auto immune diseases too. Its going to be a while I suppose and very expensive but at least it gives us some hope that maybe one day they will be able to cure this too.
Hope you are doing ok today.
