have you or anyone heard of Stem Cell Therapy? Apparently there are US doctors, in patricular in Texas who are authorized to harvest your own fat cells after liposuction and get your own stem cells out of it the same day - these will then be applied IV or IT injection and may repair nerves and other tissues as well as it may reverse the demylielisation into remylielisationialisation damaged peripheral or central nerves, this may be the future of medicine as such as these injected stem cells can change into any type of needed cells.

HI Felix @swiss, I'm hoping to learn a little more about stem cell therapy if I am able to make it to the August 4th Minnesota Neuropathy Association meeting. Their speaker from the University of Minnesota Medical School will be discussing some of the latest information (I hope).

I also feel it important to add it is so important to do your homework and due diligence when researching new treatment options. Stem cells offer a lot of hope. But where these is hope, there is hype and charlatans.

You can read more about stem cells on the FDA’s website here: https://www.fda.gov/AboutFDA/Transparency/Basics/ucm194655.htm

Have you been doing anything new to help with your neuropathy?

Hi John. Do you know if the presentation from August 4 will be available online anywhere? I cannot attend but I would sure like to see the program or at least read about what was discussed. Thank you, Nancy Banks.

Hi Nancy @banksnc49 -- Unfortunately they normally don't record their presentations. We sometimes get handouts or if someone takes good notes I post them on the website - http://neuropathy-mn.org/. I am hoping to go and will try to take notes. If I do and they have any handouts I will try to post the information here on Connect.
