Have been taking Esbreit for about 4 years with no side effects…..It has helped slow down the progression……..I have been lucky…….Waiting for the Bio-techs to come out with something that stops it…….PRM 151 I think is going to Phrase 3…..Promedoir I think is the company…..

Hello Jim, thank you for keeping us informed. Let’s cross our fingers that your disease never progresses. Let’s also pray for a cure. I am not familiar with PRM151 but I am going to look into it. There are several other medicines in phase 1 and 2 that also looks promising. Thank you again for the info. Mark
