In the autumn of 2006, I was diagnosed with swift onset, severe rheumatoid arthritis, triggered by Lyme disease. After months of researching the promising results of adult stem cell therapy studies and the many of the off-shore clinics offering the treatment abroad, I was happily surprised and relieved to find the treatment had become available here in the US through StemGenex.

My 3 day experience with StemGenex was wonderful, the patient advocates guiding me through the process of getting everything in order to make the trip out to California in July 2012. The surgeon was a reassuring, gentle presence, happy to answer all my questions and I felt entirely in good hands, excited by the promise of adult stem cell treatment. The whole process could not have been made easier by the StemGenex team, who were on-site all three days, from orientation to check out from the hotel.

In the months following, improvements came in very slow, subtle ways. The burning in my feet disappeared and circulation in my legs below my knees and feet was improved. The swelling and pain in my knees was reduced. Soft tissue pain and other affected joints felt so much better and I was beginning to be able to straighten my arms at the elbows. I also felt less fatigued and the constant toxic feeling most RA patients can probably relate to had disappeared. By the following summer, I was feeling so much better overall and would definitely consider another booster treatment in future.

StemGenex continued to be supportive post-treatment, checking in at intervals with progress and offering reassurance and insight on what to expect and how to get the best results from the treatment. I wholeheartedly recommend the StemGenex experience!
