Help to Heal MS With Stem Cells
Donation protected
My name is Kristy, I am a 41 year old mother to three amazing children. I was diagnosed with Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis in 2006, when I lost vision in my right eye and experienced numbness in my limbs. Most of my lesions are in my brain so I experience difficulty walking, double vision, balance problems, neuropathy, migraines, extreme fatigue and many other symptoms.
I have tried nearly every disease modifying drug with no success, I continue to get lesions and my disease progresses. I have frequent flare ups and rarely feel well. My battle with Multiple Sclerosis has led to disability. I am not able to work anymore and it is difficult to manage on a daily basis from the chronic pain. Recently I have been diagnosed with Sjrogren's Syndrome and Raynaud's Disease as a result from the progression of MS.
Yesterday I received exciting news that I have been accepted into a clinical trial that could change my life!
Neurologic Stem Cell Treatment Study (NEST)
It is the only stem cell study combining two proven delivery approaches for bone marrow derived stem cells to the central and peripheral nervous systems. You may review at www.clinicaltrials.gov Identifier NCT 02795052.
The cost is $14,500 and insurance does not cover it. The facility is in Coconut Creek, Florida. I am approved for treatment on January 15, 2019.
This is my chance to heal and truly experience life with my children. I to would love to dance, run and jump with them. With your help in funding me this will be life changing for my family and I.
Thank you for reading my story.
