maybe I did not understand right but it is because of chemo or other drugs.
[i]The authors pointed to two factors that could increase the cardiovascular risk in these patients:
Pre-transplant chemotherapy and radiation
Treatment for the transplant complication of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)[/i]
Friend left few sessions?
the cost per session???
You know PFS is back if you don’t shed hair. I know this fact. Shedding hair is a good thing in our cases.
That’s not true Brice. Some forms of PFS cause people to rapidly lose their hair, such as myself. If I was to get better, my hair would grow back most likely. ALSO, Joetz had stem cells placed into his scalp, and the doctors even told him his hair would grow back because of that.
Been awhile since an update, makes me worried =/. How ya doin’ over there joetz?
i’m still very skeptical…photos or nothing. lol
Interesting that you find the situation funny propeciashiz (noted from your little lol addition).
For me, PFS is no laughing matter, nor is trying to treat it.
Please check the forum rules BEFORE posting.
Please point out where i was laughing about PFS? Are you serious mate? I was questioning the hair growing back…Lighten up.
I don’t understand the intrigue over the photos. This isn’t a hair loss forum, this is a forum dealing with PFS. I only mentioned it because it showed the power of the stem cells. I have the photos but only have use of my iPhone and can’t upload them now but I will when I have access to a real laptop. You can’t tell much because the photos were taken under different lighting conditions but it is a lot better. I’ll try to upload the photos tonight
I sense people are getting impatient here and I totally understand that because we are all anxious and want this shit to be over yesterday. No one feels that way more than me. I’ve had it with this bullshit and want to get on with my life.
It’s been a weird last few weeks and I think my progress got somewhat derailed. Got really sick with Bronchitis and was on antibiotics from the 5th to the 10th. Had a fever of 101.3, which is extremely unusual for me. I haven’t had a fever in years. I usually have very low body temp. I noticed since I kicked the fever that my body temp has stabilized and is now 98. Not sure if that is a coincidence or it means something. I find it really interesting that I got sick in the first place. I haven’t been sick like this since PFS started. I think once I recover from the bronchitis I’ll be feeling a lot better.
I saw my doctor yesterday and they tell me ill hit the peak in six months. That’s when I’ll have the most stem cells in my body. I started with 80 million and at this point in month two I probably have a few hundred million stem cells. Libido is maybe 25% better than at my worst but I am feeling more self confident, more aggressive and my eyes and skin are way better. Appetite is much better too. Basically my gains are holding, which is really good news.
I’m very anxious to see where I am in six months. If I’m close I may spend the $$ and have this done again. I know I said the lipo sucked but PFS sucks even worse
i wouldn’t take any details or changes in your body as coincidence. we really have to look at EVERYTHING that is happening. everytime something in your body changes, something is changing and happening, u know? i think you getting a massive fever and having bronchitis is telling us something. did you have massive mucous and all that junk coming out? that’s one thing that seems to be common around here… that it doesn’t happen and the mucous no longer occurs.
although i’d have to say, next time be more weary of antibiotics… i’ve read other reports here of people saying that their symptoms started after an antibiotic treatment. (plus antibiotics kill your natural gut flora, and we all know how screwed up our digestion is…) to combat this kind of stuff, it’s better to green shake it up, and get some serious vitamin C and other anti oxidants and tea in there… just plow through.
anyway, good shit man thanks for updating.
Give the man a fucking break. jesus christ dudes. let him focus on the therapy and stop demanding those crazy photos (mandi…), especially in the middle of the protocol.
Yeah dude don’t do antibiotics again unless other options are stressed. But no biggie, just focus on rebuilding yourself etc.
Asking for pics seems reasonable enough. Since there is no scientific evidence that just injecting stem cells into your scalp will grow hair back I’d be interested too. It seems a fairly wild claim on the part of the clinic. Of course labs before and after, particularly vit d and 3 adiol G would be interesting. The more info the better from a research point of view.
Agree with Boston… vitamin d and 3 adiol g before and after comparisons would be interesting.
The upload for the photos isn’t working. If someone wants to put the photos up for me, PM me and we can figure it out
I’m trying my best to be a good guinea pig. Normally I’m like a hypochondriac, constantly trying every supplement I can get my hands on. Since I started my stem journey I’ve stayed off every supplement so that I’m taking zero medications/supplement. This way we don’t have to guess what’s giving me results and what isn’t.
I know antibiotics kill your natural gut flora but I had no choice. I got sick on october 1st and started to get better by october 3rd. Then on the 4th I took a sudden turn for the worse and on the 5th I was so desperate I had to go to a walk in clinic. I was in such rough shape they thought I had pneumonia and immediately x-rayed my lungs. Turned out to be acute bronchitis. I was prescribed the zpack (Azithromycin) and finished it up on the 10th and I’m almost better now.
joetz
are your nose and Ears still not dry? I mean your ears are making ear wax and nose is making mucus (boogers)?
Lots of mucous, but that’s to be expected after being sick. I got lots of ear wax the first week and 1/2 of the therapy, but as of right now, as I am typing this, ears are dried out and itchy.
thanks.
To me these are most important parameters.
The photos do not match the hair color.
I do not look fake
The hair color looks different because of the lighting conditions at the doctor’s office, vs natural sunlight. Know what, I’m glad you think they are fake because I really don’t want to derail the thread and have it become about hairloss. Lets just keep it on topic, just the adipose stem cells IV treatment. Unless you think I’m faking that too, in which case you can just ignore the thread
