Clinical Trials

I went to clinicaltrials.gov, and searched for "Stem cell multiple sclerosis".

I have picked out the ones that interested me, and have narrowed it down to ones that will except my level of disability and there are some

that do not except a metal implant (Baclofen pump).

For the latter, I wonder if I only could have access to somewhere where they could check my baclofen pump after an MRI.  If only I could come back home and have the MRI here, and mail the MRI films back to them overseas.

There is a stem cell clinical trial in beautiful La Jolla, California.  

Don't get me started on California Love.  I spent most of my life and grew up in the desert of Los Angeles county. But, I had to leave and came to Oregon to get the home care that I needed, and I knew that the water situation would go bad at some point in the future… I didn't think it would be so soon after I left.

But I digress.
A 3-day hotel stay with medical transport will be paid for.
A "go fund me" campaign was suggested.
In this procedure, the stem cells are taken from body fat.

And it would cost us thousands upon thousands of dollars.

I don't know how much good this procedure would do me, anyway.
Reportedly, an increase in energy, and relief from bladder problems have been experienced. I don't need these. I have also seen reports of repeated procedures. I feel that this is primarily a money making venture. I have also seen a online video of a woman who very excitedly and full of energy, explains how much stem cell has changed her life. I am not aware of what kind of stem cell therapy she received.
Cemotherapy before the procedure to wipe out the immune system is not provided by this clinic.

I don't know how I would fare with chemotherapy.

So, my next step is to learn more about these bone marrow stem cell operations overseas.

And! The Biotin is in the mail to me.  It will be here any day now.  I have read that it could take nine months to show any benefit, but I feel that the benefit will be, even though it may not be seen.
