The Stem Cell research didn't happen for me. Though I called the company and was told that I had been approved, they did not follow through. My neurologist wasn't able to get a response from them either. She is relieved--studies that require participants to pay are not the usual sort of study, and this raised red flags for her. My thought is that the closest we have, now, to an answer to MS is the stem cell therapy--but not for me, not this time.
Immediately I was sent (by my fabulous neurologist) to another study, low-key, looking at genetic markers for MS and for rate of MS progression, sponsored by Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center. I wanted to do a study, and this was a way to be involved in the effort.
Meanwhile, I will focus on clean eating, exercising, continuing a life of de-stress and of living more--that is what MS has taught me so far, and that is what works for me!
As for Stem Cell Study, not this time.
