This is a subject that needs you to contact a provider of the procedure and ask them for Information. It's a huge thing for which you will need support all the way through.
Am not trying to put your off Just get lots of info, so you can make well informed decisions.....
I'm being a clucky mother and feel a bit protective 😄
Reading my message back I sound like a teacher 😕

Hello @rachaellouise. Like you, I was diagnosed last year. My personal plan I agree with myself was to wait until 2022 (5 years after diagnosis) and see how this treatment has developed over time before considering it. It’s either going to ‘sink or swim’ as an innovative treatment so I shall watch and wait.....

@rachaellouise like @vixen I am waiting to see how it all goes and until it is perfected. At diagnosis I was all over it and keen to look into stem cell treatment further. like here is the medicine to get rid of this mentality. 
On consultation with my first neuro he said "stem cells aint stem cells" (there was an old commercial here in Australia for motor oil which said oils aint oils.... just some context as I forget we are not all Aussies on here). 
He said that stem cells are not always safe and that during the trials (albeit the ones with chemo in Israel) several participants died and a few were still in ICU. 
At that point I thought, well maybe I will look back into it when my MS worsens. 
Then I looked at the fasting diet to replenish stem cells naturally... that just made me really really hungry. 




@ cammo - their are different types of stem cell procedures . Something that I need to do a load more research on . 
Are you talking about the chemo one ? I’m thinking about that in the future but talking about just stem cells
I really feel in heart of hearts it is for me... question is when. ?
Also I wouldn’t just accept and believe the neurologist might be trying to scare you which he or she did . From what I’ve learnt lately theirs a lot of dodgy things going on , and comes down to money ! That’s something for us all to bare in mind.  

I know it’s in infancy but I’m not talking about the chemo one I mean the one which might give you some relief of symptoms.
I need to do research so all I can say which I didn’t know before is their are different types that might help people with diseases 

Thanks -

Hi 

I am still drawn to this since I was diagnosed last year 
I was wondering if any of you knew anything about the one that doesn’t require chemo where they give you a stem cell transplant and not one with chemo ? 

I was wondering if this one might give some relief without chemo 

Thanks 

Rachael
