I underwent a stem cell transplant at Mayo for POEMS. My feet use to swell up like balloons. I still see some swelling but it is no where what it use to be. I love Mayo and their research.

@craigkopcho, it is awesome to hear your stem cell transplant helped with your swollen feet issues related to POEMS. Is swollen feet the only symptom that you experience, or were there others?

Same here, I had a stem cell transplant in 2016 I still have symptoms but my bloodwork makers aren’t “high enough to do anything yet” so I’m pretty much on my own. I also loved the care I got at Mayo Clinic Dr Joseph Miguel saved my life!
