I think it would be wise to verify that these people really do have MS. The criteria for diagnosing has changed. My friends on these groups say because they never took DMTs they never had an MRi...they were diagnosed before MRIs existed. They were told to just learn to live with it.

Stem cell therapy experiences vary among people with MS. A MyMSTeam member reported impressive results, sharing that after six years, they had no new or enhancing lesions and no longer needed disease-modifying drugs. They celebrated being in remission and free from medication side effects. Another member noted that their fatigue improved for about two months before returning.

The treatment shows promise for aggressive MS cases, particularly in those with lower disability levels when receiving the procedure. However, it's important to understand this is still a serious medical procedure with real risks. Important considerations before pursuing stem cell therapy:

• The procedure involves chemotherapy to reset the immune system

• It's not yet widely available for MS treatment
• If considering treatment abroad, be cautious of unregulated clinics
• Always discuss with your healthcare provider about whether this option is appropriate for you and if clinical trials might be available
