Has anyone tried stem cell therapy for their neuropathy and had any luck? Where did you go for treatments, did your insurance cover it? I've read quite a bit about stem cell therapy and would be more than willing to try it if it helped ease the burning, tingling, numbness, pain, etc.

I haven’t tried stem cells, as I just can’t find any research that shows it has any great affect. I still think there is a lot of hope for future success, I just don’t think the science is there yet. I have been doing a great vitamin protocol that has seem to hault any progression, and will start intraneural facilitation at Loma Linda hospital Monday in hopes of further healing the nerves. Also to answer the question I don’t believe stem cells are covered by insurance yet.

@pjfrahm Good evening. I read your posts about intraneural facilitation including your first treatment outcome. It appears that you experienced some relief and are hoping to take another big step at Loma Linda. Please let us know the results of this treatment or is it a series of treatments? It is encouraging to know that Loma Linda has opened a neuropathy climic.
Thanks in advance. And please be safe and protected from harm. Chris
I have just been to conference at a local hotel showing basically the same information and stating that it will cure both diabetic and peripheral neuropathy. Offered at a discount price of $5312 per shot. They also stated that the shot can be split in 2 and applied in each leg. I have been trying to find a reliable source of info to verify or not the effectiveness. I just joined here within the last hour. I am sorry that it did not work for you but at the same time you have helped myself and many others to avoid this type of false and predatory claims. THANK YOU !!

I just read your post because I was trying to do some research on stem cell therapy. What is intraneural facilitation? Did you have it yet? Did it help?
Hello @jlsoerens -- Welcome to Connect. I have no medical training or background but I've not read any breaking news about the use of stem cell therapy for neuropathy. I did a search and could not find any posts related to anyone who has tried it. However I did find an interesting article on using stem cell therapy to treat arthritis.
@jlsoerens may I ask what your neuropathy diagnosis is? Are you able to share what type of treatments you have tried? I have idiopathic small fiber peripheral neuropathy but only have numbness in both legs and feet. I do not have any sharp pains that go with it.
my neuropathy is in the feet ankles down three fingers and thumb, I do have the numbness and also the pain, burning feeling, sharp light 22 shell just shot you mostly at night. cant sleep some nights

Hoping members like @rcicchillo @alphawolftom @ludite @jordanabrams30 @stanstory @jenniferhunter can let us know if they have gotten any stem cell treatments thus far and if so, if their insurance covered this.
Have any medications or other therapies you've tried thus far had any helpful effect, pjfrahm?

Saw an interesting Health News story on stems cell clinics that may be helpful for those searching for information.

Are you able to share a little more about your diagnosis and any treatments you are using or have tried?
Hi, @gregsmobil - how has your sleep been the last couple of nights with the neuropathic symptoms you mentioned you've experienced?
