A friend of mine underwent this with the founder of the stem cell procedure at Northwestern in Chicago. He was in really bad shape but the procedure seemed to stabilize things.. This was about 10 years ago when it was still an early stage experimental treatment.. Given that you are in Ft Wayne, and not far from Chicago, you may want to get in contact with Dr Burt and his team at the Northwestern School of Medicine.. They have been working with stem cells for MS and autoimmune diseases for a long time.

I was communicating with a woman who went to Bangalore, India and had a stem cell transplant. She had such a miraculous recovery from MS that she enrolled full time in college and was on her way to getting a degree. Unfortunately I lost contact with her - she was too busy. Now I can't even remember her name. I am following Richard Cohen's blog about his stem cell transplant and wishing his success.
