I'd have to be much further along than I am to consider this, but this is amazing: "Complete resolution... complete remission."

Wow, fascinating!

I keep asking for a whole new immune system...maybe someday they’ll give me one. You know you’re not doing well, when being nuked with chemo so you can hopefully accept a transplant, actually seems like a wonderful option. I would sign up tomorrow. I miss not needing 16 hours of sleep to function, waking up without tremors, actually feeling hungry and being able to eat.

Dreams.

I sought bone marrow transplants from both university of pennsylvania hospital & Thomas Jefferson University hospital. Both did stem cell transplants on multiple sclerosis patients approx 9 years ago but neither are interested in putting auto immune disease patients into a remission that could last year's. My only guess is that financial /insurance gurus decided it's not feasible
