A Doper’s wife went for some kind of revolutionary surgery in Europe(?) a year or three ago. It was, IIRC, something like ALS, or Parkinson’s…something like that. Multiple Sclerosis? IIRC, the wife’s symptoms were almost immediately stopped/curtailed. Is there an update? I don’t think I’m hallucinating… ---

[I think you’re looking for this thread.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=540940) **Uzi** ’s last update was about a year and a half ago, and it sounds like things were going well at that time. ---
