I also I’m not doing a trial as I want to continue with all the other aspects of my care that I too have figured out for myself. I agree with you… You are diagnosed, patted on the head and told to get your affairs in order.

I started off with a three week treatment where…[Read more]

I have not noticed that the twitching in my legs has stopped. In fact sometimes it’s ‘worse’ although that’s on days of my workouts and a fair bit of physical activity.
I guess it’s also hard…[Read more]

I was diagnosed in June 2020 and started stem cell therapy in July 2020. I started with a 3 week treatment (1/week for stem cell injections over the three weeks), totally 120M cells. I am now receiving the ‘booster’ treatment of 40M cells. My plan is to get them 3/year. 20% are delivered IV and 80% IT, and is accompanied with vitamin and O2…[Read more]

Kim,
Where are you getting your stem cell therapy? I’m looking for stem cells trials, but can’t find any and my doctors have warned me against commercial stem cells.

Kim, where are you getting this treatment and does insurance cover any of it? I’d be interested in learning more about what you are doing.
