Two months in

Hello Everyone

I've had the stemcells for two months and things seem to be going well. I havn't noticed any strange growths or any thing like that, which is good. No big changes have occured, but my energy level is quite a bit higher than normal. I find myself being able to fight through some of the normal fatige. I've been getting out and doing some yard work and taking walks in the nice weather, which I enjoy very much.

I've been in contact with Dr. Reed from the San Diego clinic. We are working on a monthly schedule to monitor my progress. I have my first follow-up MRI scheduled for this week. I am hopeful that it will show positive results. In April, I will be seeing my primary neurologist Dr. Klein in Salt Lake, which I'm looking forward to.

Hopefully the next couple of months will bring more results and I will have more to report. Until then I keep my fingers crossed and look forward to any improvments.

Thank you for your intrest and support

Hi everyone

It's been a while since my last blog, so it's time to update. About five weeks have past since I received the stem cells. Not too much has changed yet. My hopes are still high. I have noticed that the regular cramping that I have in my feet and legs has subsided quite a bit, though it may be the supplements I have been taking in conjunction with the treatment. I did manage to take a little vacation with Shawn to Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. A wonderful place. The beaches are to die for. It was very enjoyable. I managed to do things that I haven't done for some time. I crawled into an underground river, swimming and crawling my way, as well as lots of walking and shopping. There are still several weeks(6-7) before the doctors said I should notice anything, so keep your fingers crossed. I will update in a few weeks. Until then I hope everyone is well.
Thanks for your support.
