Let’s Talk About HSCT for Multiple Sclerosis - My Story - Part 3
This episode is part three of the story of my HSCT experience. I continue to take you on the journey of my HSCT experience and tell you my results so far 1 year past my procedure.
Below I am listing locations where HSCT is available as of now.
Stay strong and stay safe!!
HSCT (Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation) attempts to “reboot” the immune system, which is responsible for damaging the brain and spinal cord in MS. In HSCT for MS, hematopoietic (blood cell-producing) stem cells, which are derived from a person’s own (“autologous”) bone marrow or blood, are collected and stored, and the rest of the individual’s immune cells are depleted by chemotherapy. Then the stored hematopoietic stem cells are reintroduced to the body. The new stem cells migrate to the bone marrow and, over time, produce new white blood cells. Eventually, they repopulate the body with immune cells.

Let’s Talk About Handicap Parking Issues with Multiple Sclerosis or Other Invisible Illnesses
Another much-needed conversation. This episode is regarding the hate we get from uninformed people. This one is about those of us with invisible illnesses who get sneered at, dirty looks, mean comments and hurtful notes on our cars because we park in a handicap spot and don't visibly look ill. Join MS warrior Katie in her plight to get us an "invisible illness" parking placard. Listen on as we talk about examples of what some people struggling with visible illnesses go through daily when they mind their own business, fighting an unbearable struggle, and getting berated when parking in a handicap parking spot.
From Katie:
Invisible diseases and disabilities are real! If you have been diagnosed with an invisible illness or know a friend or family member that has one, unfortunately, they can be targeted for cruel acts.
Have you ever had a nasty note left on your car? Or have you been harassed? Has your vehicle been vandalized? Have the police ever been called on you for using your handicap placard?
These are cruel acts that happen every day, and it has to stop!
I created a petition on change.org to do just that! This appeal is to help spread awareness for invisible diseases and disabilities and to help educate the society that we live in today.
PLEASE click on the link below to sign the petition.⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
