Stem cell treatment for small fiber neuropathy

My husband needed to be detoxed every other day by IV for two weeks as the Repatha damage was throughout his body. At the end of detox he received the stem cells in each knee. I believe it was in the ballpark of $30,O00. People asked why we didn’t just sue the manufacturer of Repatha. I’m sure some may have, but we thought the money was better invested in getting him out of the wheelchair than in hiring an attorney and going through the exhaustion of litigation.
Of course we had motel and flight expenses in addition. This was in the fall of 2024.

Oh yes, we saw the effects toward the end of the six months. His neuropathy had been so bad, he could barely walk an inch or two at a time. Now he hops in our truck and drives where he wants to drive with no limping or pain 🥰

Hello

How long was your husband on Rapatha and what were his symptoms?
Has he fully recovered?

Thank you.
