After living with ms for the past 40 years I find it amazing that by surfing around and looking for treatment info on stem cell replacement I stumble upon your informative site.

In the late 1980s I discovered I never had RRMS but I had just been experiencing a slow progressive slide. At that time, since life expectancy on secondary progressive, was a little shorter than today I began intensive intravenous corticosteroid treatments which kept me ambulatory my attitude was just keep me on my feet. Then as they began advancements into interferon, Copaxone, etc life expectancy rose exponentially. Unfortunately, the toll of steroid, opiate, amphetamine, and a litany of other pharmaceutical aids which keep you feeling "normal" take a tremendous toll on your skeletal frame. I kept up this regime from the time of my diagnosis in the late 1970s until 2001 when someone decided to cross the double yellow line and we met head on just seven months after I had replaced a hip to keep myself ambulatory. Now I still live in a medicine cabinet even though I live life on four wheels but keep hoping that stem cell transplantation might hold some help for me so if you have any information you might be able to pass along on where, when and how we might be able to tap into this new therapy that information would be most appreciated. Your site was very informative and I am very happy I found it.

Hi,

I appreciate your statements.

I am sorry to report that there are no current programs for stem cell research. I will most definitely report any stem cell research or studies when I find out about them.
