NGID is hopeful! And good! Even if its origins could possibly be driven by profit. Even if the research takes a long, long while. Something positive will be gained by it for patients of the future. Maybe not in my lifetime. Maybe within a younger person's lifetime.
I had severe Crohn's Disease for 21 years. While I was learning to live with it, some smart researchers in UK were following their interests in immunity. Their discoveries led to development of infliximab. When Humira came along in 2007, I achieved a remission.
We do lose response to therapies, but I feel hopeful for what has come so far and what is yet to come through science. Who knows what the NIGD group will learn in the next six years and how it can be helpful to folks with Psoriasis? You and I may not benefit from the research, but maybe future generations will.
