Just thought I wouold update everyone. I had my first autologous stem cell therapy 10-03-08. This was part of a private trial, so I will not have specific information that I can share about it. I do however want to share what I can.
First off, it was very enlightning to meet and work with Doctors that are directly involved in the research.
I can share some successes that I have already seen and am sure other Stem Cell Pioneers can confirm some similar results. I have a problem with shaving (since I have gone on Blood thinners). The morning of my therapy I developed a severe razor burn. These normally take at least a week to go away sometimes longer. Within 24 hours after my therapy it was gone. I am saying this in order for those that are sceptical to see the healing that can take place with stem cells. I am also blind in one eye, not related to CMT but due to some extensive lazer surgery to correct a blood vessel bursting within my eye. For the past 10 years, I have only had a little periphial vision and it was limited to light and blurry colors. Since my procedure, my vision has increased and I can know see outlines of objects with this eye. Even though these are totaly non related to why I had the therapy, I thought I should share this information.
What I am seeing that ties to my disease CMT is an increase in energy which hasn't been around in a long time. I am also having some numbness/tingling in my hands which I hope is directly related to helping my problem. It will probably take a long time to see actual results, as first we have to fix the nerves and then the nerves can fix the muscle degeneration.
I am scheduled for my second treatment in Novemebr (exact date not set yet) & will have another in late December or January of 2009 for a total of three treatments. I will keep you updated on my progress and hope that someone with my diease CMT will someday stumble across my post.
