Stem Cells for Hope Provides Adult Stem Cell Transplantation Therapy for Texas Woman with RR Multiple Sclerosis and Optic Neuritis

In October of 2008, Angela, a Customer Service Representative from Austin, Texas, was diagnosed with Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS) and Optic Nerve Atrophy. A disabling disease, RRMS is characterized by optic disturbances, muscle weakness, paralysis, impaired speech, vertigo, and a host of other crippling conditions. Having received no relief from conventional treatment methods in the U.S., in February 2010, Angela left the country to begin a five day treatment at Stem Cells for Hopes affiliate treatment clinic in Mexico.

(This is a journal that Angela, a Stem Cells for Hope RRMS & Optic Neuritis Patient wrote while she was at our Treatment Facility in Mexico. She has given us permission to publish this Journal as well as her email address below so that she can discuss her experience with Stem Cell Transplantation Therapy. It is a long read but worth it, enjoy)

February 21st, 2010

I awakened this morning nauseous. I should be excited, and in many ways I am, as this is the day I traveled to Mexico in hopes to regain health Ive lost to Multiple Sclerosis. I also hope to retrieve the life this disease has stolen from me. I know most of my stomach issues related to my anxiety about flying. Though I understand the physics behind flying, it still seems unnatural to me to be that high up in the air. I mean, Im over 200lbs. and I dont fly (LOL). Though I was a nervous wreck at takeoff, I have to admit the flight was not as horrible as I thought it would be and I handled my stress well.

I realize a lot of my unease also related to the larger picture at hand I will be facing this week and the coming days which follow. I have spent six months building my faith that this procedure will be the answer in repairing the damage MS has done to me physically. I really dont want to be disappointed. On the one hand I want this to work; however, if it does I have so many things in my life to face in terms of getting back to work and getting my life back. If it doesnt work, life will be more living with an illness that is nothing more than a series of mysteries. MS appears to be the Polio of the modern era.

I must be really tired and anxious here in Tijuana as I am full of internal conflict. Actually this is nothing new for me since Ive been diagnosed; perhaps tonight it is just more intense with tomorrow being day number one. I am really nervous about the procedure for my eye and how all that will play out. I never thought I would have an illness that could take my vision; so I definitely never dreamed I would require a procedure that would place a needle in my eye in an attempt to return my vision. What a crazy, wild ride this existence we call life can be.

While I sit here writing about my thoughts, I am deeply grateful for this opportunity no matter how anxious and nervous I am. It is the hope I now have that it is possible to regain my health I hold in my heart to influence my dreams tonight. Tomorrow is not merely just a new day but hopefully the start of a new life and future for me without the daily plague of MS extremes. Goodnight old life and hopefully goodbye to MS.
