Stem Cell Magic for Erica Kathleen

Hi friends So many of you have generously asked what you can do to help... and wanted & wished to be able to take my pain away.
Now, there IS something you can do and I’m being my bravest right now (ahem) and asking for your help & support.
My blood disorder (hemochromatosis) has destroyed my joints & damaged my bones. The ones we’ve looked at so far ... my neck, spine, low back, sacrum, and both hips. All deteriorating.
My doctors, X-rays & MRI’s say that I need many surgeries. One is total hip replacement of both of my hips. My paperwork is heavy & reads like “Severe, Advanced, Degenerative”
Up until now, I’ve tried to accept that this is how it is. I’m falling apart, literally. Things are just going to continue to deteriorate, until I’m in a wheelchair... and who knows what else.
Pretty rough.
The last specialist I went to, told me to avoid the surgeries at all costs. She told me to research Stem Cell Therapy. “It’s not approved by the FDA, but you NEED to research it. This is your job. I can’t do anything for you. There is no medicine I can give you. You NEED to look at Stem Cell Therapy.” ... then she winked at me
So I’ve done the research and it looks soooooo promising! I HAVE HOPE! I have hope that it can & will actually REGENERATE the damaged parts. They will draw bone marrow from my hip bone, concentrate the stem cells & then inject them into the damaged areas. The stem cells tell your body to create NEW CELLS
If I could move, I’d be dancing and singing and shouting around my house... I’m SO EXCITED & bursting with HOPE
So.
Ahem.
It’s super expensive. It is not covered by insurance. I have to pay half of it when I book the procedure & the other half 2 weeks before.
So, I’m holding out hope that miracles can happen. Not that things will just “be ok”, but that they can and actually WILL get BETTER
If you’ve ever wanted or wished you could help me, now is the time.
It’s hard, being bold enough to ask for help.
But you know me, I can do hard things.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you for not giving up on me.
I love you.
xo, Erica Kathleen
