Guest guest Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Has anyone out there done stem cells for their RA? There is a clinic in Costa Rica that I have been to several times with my daughter(for other medical reasons). And the moment I got diagnosed with RA I wanted to run there and get (ADULT) stem cells in an attempt to halt the damage in its tracks, before it gets bad. (www.cellmedicine.com) I have only been diagnosed for 3 months. But it is very severe. Every week I look at my fingers and toes they are changing. Two months ago I only had 2 deformed fingers on each hand. one month ago I had 3 on each, and as of this week I now have deformeties in all fingers and thumbs. 4 months ago my hands and feet were perfect and I never had any pain. It just came on so fast and agressivly. I am in constant pain from head to toe. Have zero energy, I wouldnt even have the energy to get my ass out of a burning house. Some days I can not even sign my own name. And walking has become unberable most days. not to mention I am only 34, and taking care of two children under 6, by myself. One of them is autistic. Long story short......I am really seeking anyone who has done the stem cells and looking to see what, if any, good news you might have. thank you -julie H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
