Thanks Preston, that is wonderful to hear. Who else do you know of that has gone to Costa Rica that would not mind discussing the journey with a prospie like me?
I believe they understand it as much as they can. Dr. Neil Riordan, who is the CEO of the clinic, has a very good understanding of what is going on...You can find a number of his papers posted online by searching.. He is a research scientist and dir…
Dear Preston, I have Cerebral Palsy and am on the fence about ASCT. I do not have the terrible fear and pain of a degenerative diisease breathing down my neck as you did; I think that makes the leap of faith a little harder for me, if you know what…

- I am a Fort Worth Police Sergeant with Multiple Sclerosis who sought the umbilical cord stem cell treatment in Costa Rica in May 2008. The treatment was absolutely amazing!! I am MS symptom free. I can't tell you it was a cure but my quality of life has really improved.
Now, I try to spread the hope the treatment has given me.

Stem Cells in Costa Rica
This journey is a big leap of faith. It was for me and for anyone seeking the treatment. I can't say it is a cure but I feel a million times better than the day I left for Costa Rica in May 2008.
My symptoms included a cognitive "cloud," fatigue, depression and a staggered walk. The fatigue and the depression was bad enough I didn't want to get out of bed and "live" every day. I had too. I have a wife and children counting on Dad. So I continued to push.... like everyone else has to do. I was ju… Continue

- Hello Preston,
My name is Dewayne Kelley. I too am a law enforcement officer. First, nine years as a deputy/detective at the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office in Florida; and the last 18 plus years as a US Probation Officer, and a Supervisor for the last eight years. I am now in the process of taking disability retirement, due primarily to my reliance on a walker and enability to meet several physical requirements. I had the stem cell treatment about 3 weeks ago. I have had some improvement, but hope for more.
OK, enough about me. How are you doing. I was sorry to read of your return of symptoms. I hope and pray you are improving. Please update us when your able.

- Prestom, you speak with so many people. I was wondering if you have heard of anyone with PPMS having any luck with stem cell. Be safe Sherry

- Your posting from June suggests that the stem cells may not have worked for you...do you feel this to be true?
It is quite expensive for the treatment, so the thought of having to ge back yearly or every two years is concerning.
Do you think you had another exacerbation?
Your posts are very helpful...thank you for taking the time to share with all of us...
My partner and I are heading to CR August 30th for the four week treatment...He was diagnosed 20 years ago and after a 1985 exacerbation he was in remission until 2005 when he had a relapse, optic neuritis, right sided weakness, and fatigue..
He is doing better now..but not back to full speed...tried Avonex, Tysabri and neither helped...
As I have shared with others...our purchase of two Segways has truely changed our lives and since he can stand with no difficulty...we are able to cruise all over our town...
But still, the walking is his biggest hurdle..
