Yes, several MyMSTeam members have tried stem cell therapy with varying results. One member who had stem cells harvested from fat cells reported their fatigue improved for about two months before returning. Another member shared a more positive long-term outcome - after six years, they had no new or enhancing lesions and no longer needed disease-modifying drugs, considering their MS in remission. Clinical research shows stem cell transplants may help some people with aggressive MS when standard medications aren't working. In one study of 110 patients who had tried multiple medications without success, those who received stem cell transplants showed significantly less disease progression compared to those on standard treatments.
However, it's important to know that stem cell therapy isn't right for everyone with MS. The treatment can be powerful but also carries risks. The best approach is discussing with your healthcare provider whether you might be a candidate for stem cell therapy or if there are clinical trials you could participate in.
