Amy Faulconer-stem cell treatment
Donation protected
My dear friend Amy needs a stem cell treatment ASAP! Here's her story.......
"I was 17 when I was admitted to the hospital and underwent multiple tests until I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis after misdiagnosing me with a stroke , Lyme disease and other things.
I went on Copaxone and on multiple occasions had the rare side effect that caused my tongue to swell and breathing to be difficult. So I quit that and tried the bee venom , multiple natural remedies and then avonex which caused flu symptoms for the whole next day after taking the weekly shot. Most recently I did the newer drug tecfidera , that caused horrible side effects as well, but doable in the beginning. I didn't have it for 2 days which caused horrendous side effects so I got off of that. Throughout all the years I have eaten very well / healthy. When I have a relapse it is usually brought on by extreme stress such as my dad dying (lost vision in one eye), a hard time after having Kalen (vertigo and temporarily loss of vision in the other eye) and the worst was when my ex husband and I seperated(Severe vertigo-bed ridden for over a month) Due to the unending stress currently, I'm having a very difficult time walking and getting around.
The multiple doctors / neurologists that I have seen all want me to get on more Ms meds. The problem is I always seem to get the side effects. The side effects range from feeling like you have the flu, to seizures and dying. The meds that they have now don't fix you they just hopefully lessen the amount of relapses.
One morning I saw on my Facebook feed a story about a woman that had a stem cell transplant and how it has helped her so much. I knew right then that it had to be good news. I spent many days researching it and found almost all good things. It was expensive so I stopped thinking about it for a while but then I kept hearing on TV and Facebook and a few friends contacted me. I decided to call them (stemgenex) and at first they weren't sure if I was a candidate. Then about a week later they called and are so excited for me. Ist's only a three day procedure and they do it in La Jolla California. You first go in and meet with the doctors and get some fat taken out. They put it through a machine and pull the stem cells out. The next day you come back and they put those stem cells into individual areas that need work in your body. They put you in a hyperbaric chamber the third day and give you a plan of what vitamins to be on. Then for months they follow up consistently. I believe it is over 90% effective in some way. They don't guarantee anything and you never know what it is going to help but the main problem right now is walking and that is what seems to have been helped in all the stories that are out there. And also energy levels in Ms are low and stem cell treatment helps a great deal with that."
As you can see Amy has gone through so much in her young life and she is a fighter! She is the nicest lady you'll ever meet and the Mom we all dream to be! Please, if you can help her out in some way.. Financial, prayer or good vibes! We all would appreciate it! We love you Amy and want to see you walking and running after those kiddos of yours!
Let's do this everybody..every dollar counts! Let's get her that stem cell treatment she so deserves!
