It’s Almost Christmas

December 11th, 2008

Hongwei - CEO of Stem Cell Treatments

It’s hard to believe how time has flown since Chris and I returned from Qingdao – almost 3 months. I’ve been extremely busy. Physically, I cant believe how well I feel.

Since the last treatment with stem cells I seem to have boundless energy, waking at 5am and on the go all day until bedtime at about 10pm. This is generally unheard of with people with MS. I sleep soundly all night which is a real joy.

So what of my MS symptoms? It is difficult to be positive but I seem to have more awareness of my body spacial perception. But :

- Previously I didnt know so what position my legs were unless I looked at them. Now though I know exactly where they are.
- Bladder control has improved more. Make’s life very easy again.
- Because I’m sleeping more and have energy, I am exercising more and as I slowly get stronger many aspects of living become easier eg getting dressed, cooking, washing up etc.

I so much miss all my friends in Qingdao and cant wait to go back to see everyone.
