View 19 RepliesChronic Pain :: Stem Cell Therapy?
Haven'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)
Cerebral Atrophy :: Stem Cell Therapy?
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?

View 2 RepliesLichen Sclerosus :: Stem Cell Transplant Or Therapy
I 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.

I 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 1 RepliesLichen Sclerosus :: Stem Cell / Platelet-Rich Plasma /Photodynamic Therapy
I am a male with what has been diagnosed as Lichen Sclerosus. I am actually unsure that this is correct as I have no white plaques and have not had a biopsy for it. The skin condition was caused by taking fluoroquinolones, a type of antibiotic, and it was initially diagnosed as thrush- after seven months of trying treatments I managed to get rid of this using Eumovate steroid cream. Unfortunately a few weeks later I had to take the same antibiotics and it instantly returned. The doctors were extremely awkward with me from then on and never really listened to me- it seemed a real fight where they always knew best. I had steroid cream damage from taking them in different potencies for another year non-stop, despite me questioning this. The steroid cream actually atrophied my skin to the point that all the blood vessels underneath were raised and visible, they made me lose all feeling in the area it had been applied (sensation was reduced from the altered skin already) and eventually this caused me impotence at the age of 19. Fortunately with time the steroid damage has reduced somewhat and I am no longer impotent, but I have little feeling and still have pain from my condition. Tacrolimus did nothing but I managed to calm it down to an extent, getting rid of blisters using manuka honey, but it didn’t stop pain or swelling so I looked into essential oils. A lot of them calmed the skin but their anti-inflammatory effects didn’t take away the swelling until I looked at inhibiting cox-2. Mixing with Jojoba oil I found that 6 oils inhibited it and reduced swelling and symptoms dramatically, even bringing back sensation to an extent. I became sensitised to 5 of them, meaning I am now only holding on due to Frankincense oil, which I worry I could become sensitised to. I would not still be living if it was not for this. Yet I am not cured, I have little sensation and some pain and the skin is changed and thin. Therefore I cannot have sex and I am extremely self-destructive. I have always been about 5 steps ahead of doctors and had to fight for treatment, it is so under control in appearance due to the Frankincense that some doctors deny I have anything and say it is in my head, but I fought until I was sent to the doctor regarded as the expert dermatologist in the UK who said he could clearly see I had a problem. However he seemingly dismissed all this progress I have made and said I could either use Eumovate or have a circumcision. Now these are invalid options. I certainly cannot use steroids as one treatment destroys my skin now, while circumcision is bad for multiple reasons: I have stretched my foreskin so it retracts, it is the part with most sensation, and I may have to use those antibiotics at some point in the future which would put me back here but with no foreskin. I have recently talked to a doctor and she is writing to people regarding treatments I have asked her to enquire about, namely platelet-rich plasma therapy, stem cell therapy, laser therapy and photodynamic surgery. I was wondering if anybody has had these and if they had seen improvement?

View 1 RepliesScleroderma :: Stem Cell Transplant?
I’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?

Stem Cell Injection On Knee? Anyone?
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 RepliesConstant Vibrating Eyes Since UK Stem Cell Transplant
I'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.
