I have an appointment next week at Placidway to discuss whether I will continue with the stem cell transplant for Parkinson's Disease in Europe early next yr. I have many things on my mind and I plan on asking a lot of questions. I'll try my best to understand and be relaxed. Lol! Anyone can help me on what to expect?
View 1 RepliesI'm 19 and 6 months ago I had a SCT. In August 2013 I was diagnosed with ALL(acute lymphoblastic leukemia). During chemo and after SCT I had cycle but it was a bit different. For a few days I have been feeling bad, I am vomiting. Today I found that I am pregnant. What should I do?
View 1 RepliesI’ve been suffering from scleroderma for more than three years now and as the disease progressed my current treatment (Cyclophosphamide transfusion) seems completely unable to stop scleroderma to progress further to my lungs. So, ever since I got my diagnosis I’ve been searching online for possible treatments and one that came up is stem cell transplant that they seem to do in Singapore. The name that pops up most often when researching this topic is dr Loh Su Ming Yvonne – she is the one doing the stem cell transplants. I’m sure the whole thing could be too expensive, especially if she doesn’t operate in US, but still, if anyone went through stem cell transplant, could you please tell me did it help or not?
View 2 RepliesI wanted to say that my regular gynecologist shared with me when she diagnosed LS, that she has a patient, who went to Italy, for some type of stem cell therapy. I do not know what happened, in terms of results, but plan to ask, the next time I see her. I am in the US. Has anyone heard anything about this treatment? It may seem radical, but I understand why one would do it. It probably is expensive, and not covered by insurance.
View 22 RepliesI've had Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma since 2011, and had a Stem Cell Transplant in late 2013. Since the transplant I have constant vibrating eyes which last about 15 secs and then I'm OK for 2 mins. This goes on 24/7 and also is the same with my eyes shut, hence I need to take Zopiclone Sleeping Tablets every night.
I have been on 300mg pregabalin for a number of years, for my neuropathic pain in my lower legs.
I also have a suspicion that I got Lyme Disease in 2006 but that has never been backed up by blood tests.
My condition has been described as Oscillopsia or Nystagmus,
Can anyone offer any advice.
I try and do the VRT exercises daily which I have done for 3 months now, but they do seem to be taking a long time to work.
I'm retired and 64years old.
My wife has recurring Styes (Chalazia) that must be addressed before Chemo / Stem Cell Transplant for Multiple Myeloma. We believe that the previous chemo drugs (Dexamethasone, Thalidomide/Pomalyst) contributed to the eye styes. They have been recurring for over a year now. She has tried antibiotics, antibiotic eyedrops, hot wash clothes, hot tea bags, and had one stye surgically removed. She was free from them for about a month following a break in chemo treatment and hitting them hard with antibiotics, but they came back. She has to clear them up again before she begins a Stem Cell Transplant because her immune system will be very weak.
Please help! Our Oncologist and Eye Specialist both seem to be at a loss and just trying the same antibiotics over and over.
Does anyone know of any U.K. hospital that carries out stem cell treatment for hips rather than hip replacement
View 6 RepliesMy mother in law suffered from Alzheimer's disease for 10 years . Now I'm seeing symptoms in my husband (He often forgets like the name of his friend, etc..). I was alarmed and asked help from a friend. She recommended me the stem cell therapy for Alzheimer in Asia where we tried and stayed at the medical clinic for almost 2 weeks. He is on his 2nd week of therapy and I really hope that everything goes well.

View 1 RepliesI was just wondering if anyone in USA or Canada has heard of this and what they thought? I have talk to a Dr. and a Nurse from the States and they say it does work, but cost a few thousand . No one has called me back in Canada yet. Before I spend the money, just want to make sure it's safe and will help.

Has anyone had Stem Cell Injection on Knee with Osteoarthritis? They will repair a torn meniscus. The stem cell injection is a new procedure that is supposed to help people with osteoarthritis to help grow cartilage back. It works in most people from what I am reading. Wondering if anyone has actually had this done and what is the outcome? I am facing a TKR in time but they won't do it now. This is my only option.
View 2 RepliesHaven't posted in a long time- years....I have a family member that is an adult pain patient. In 2004 he began his journey when a surgeon damaged nerves during surgery and now he suffers severe pelvic floor pain that radiates into his legs and toes.
Medication regimen is MSir and methadone; pain levels are 5-10 without remittance. Pain specialist has tried every available block, implantable device and nothing has worked due to where the nerve injury is.
We've talked about a motor cortex stimulator but the chance of something going wrong (seizures, stroke, hemorrhage) keeps us at bay.
I recently read that stem cell therapy has been attempted with success on pain patients and was wondering if anyone has any experience or knowledge of this potential therapy. Some centers use autologous stem cells and others are using banked, pooled cells. UCSF (I've heard good things about their pain service)
My Mother is 60 years old and recently she is diagnosed with cerebral atrophy. We have consulted neurologists for the same and all gave same opinion that physiotherapy is the only way to minimize the effects.
Then we heard that stem cell therapy is the solution, which will not cure this disease but one can live normal life with this. Please suggest is stem cell therapy really works that ways?
what about stem cell and the story of dana white cured 100% from meniere's is that true?

View 2 RepliesI have asthma, bronchiectasis and pseudomonas for at least 2 years now. I was wondering if there is the possibility of stem cell therapy for our condition at this time. I sure hope so for all of us. I would give about anything to be rid of this condition. If any of you are aware of this I would be greatful for any information you could share. I live in the Northeastern U.S. Thank you all so much for being there with encouragement and just knowing I am not alone in this nightmare.
View 9 RepliesDid anyone have mesenchymal stem cell treatment done and did anyone have any results. What else can be done?
View 1 RepliesThis is a very small study, a little more than halfway complete. The study is of HSCT, hematopoietic (blood cell-producing) stem cell transplantation. Participants own stem cells are harvested and stored. Their immune cells are then destroyed using chemotherapy. The harvested stem cells are then reintroduced. The goal is to reboot the immune system. The latest results show 78% of the participants have had no MS relapses after 3 years. The details can be found at link below.
