2 YEARS ON – IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE
It is now two years since Chris and I traveled to China for stem cell treatment. It’s hard to believe that time has gone so quickly.
But I am pleased to say that I am feeling fabulously fit and well – full of energy and very much in control of my life. The lasting benefits of improved bladder control and sleeping at night are still with me. The levels of pain in my feet and legs are dramatically less. I must admit that I am amazed that these improvements have lasted – and in fact I seem to be feeling better all the time.
Just two weeks ago I competed in the MS 24 hr Mega Swim to raise money for Multiple Sclerosis. I swam two ½ sessions, completing 1km during each session. Since the treatment in 2006, physically I have remained very stable while emotionally I seem to be improving in great leaps and bounds. I need to mention that for the past 12 months I’ve been taking LDN as well as vitamins.
I am still use my wheelchair to get around. The stem cells didn’t miraculously enable me to stand up and walk……… but even before the treatment I didn’t expect that would happen. I have been off my legs for 15 years so it would have been a big ask. But since the treatment I am far more active, energetic and extremely happy and content.
So in September this year I have made arrangements to go back to Qingdao, China for another course of stem cell treatment. It will be interesting to see what other improvements I get, or whether it will just boost the current improvements, or whether nothing at all will change. We’ll just have to wait and see. I am really looking forward to meeting up with all the friends we made there in 2006.
So watch this space in September to see what happens.
