Thank you for your post. My husband suffers from neuropathy and we just attended a similar conference and he wanted to sign up. Have you had any improvement since February?

Hello @rcicchillo, welcome to Connect. I saw your post in the Search - It can help you! discussion and it looks like you found the discussion you wanted. I'm glad you are doing your own research and not relying on a lot of the advertising hype on stem cell research for neuropathy. Here are some of the links from earlier posts in this discussion that hopefully will provide more information for you.

I'm hoping other members will be able to share their experience with you. Are you currently considering stem cell treatment for neuropathy?

Hi, @rcicchillo - I wanted to add my welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Researching neuropathy and options sounds both wise and caring for your husband. Glad you connected with @johnbishop.

Hoping that @alphawolftom and also @stanstory who were looking into it will have some information to share about whether they pursued stem cell therapy for neuropathy. What did you decide to do?
