I'm just curios if there's ever been any research done on stem cell use to treat pressure sores? I would volunteer my right butt cheek if the treatment/trial was free and not hazardus.

I'm having stem cells harvested from my bone marrow after chemo treatment, frozen & getting my own cells back so I won't need a donor. I know this is much different than what you all are discussing but it does shine light on stem cell research for us one day.

These two things alone along with what you learned in rehab and family support will determine how successful your new life is going to be. This is the new you and that isnt necessarily a good or bad thing it just is. Its a chance to start over in any case and build new. This window of opportunity slowly closes and you are left with what you learned, wrote, adapted and so on. If you waste the first few years worrying about things like stem cells I believe you will be sorry. If I were involved with these sci magazines, I would write a three page special on what to do after you have a spinal cord injury. Im so angry at times at what people told me to do when I was first injured that was foolish and Im paying the price now.I hope someone can take something I said and make it useful to a newly injured, scared person. Sci is not the end, its just the beginning of a journey. >> >> >>Ron out of St. Louis c7 almost 16 yrs post >> >> >>From: Don Price <donpric...@yahoo.com> >>To: Don Price <donpric...@yahoo.com>; "quad-list@eskimo.com" >><quad-list@eskimo.com> >>Sent: Thursday, August 22, 2013 1:43 PM >>Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Anyone have stem cell therapy? >> >> >> >>Some info I got about Stem Cell Therapy: >> >> >>Trish Stressman-She has a blog where she talks about stem cell research. >>http://www.stemcelltherapy.tv/tag/trish-stressman/. >> >>Trish’s blog with her contact info- http://tstressman.blogspot.com/ >> >>email- trish.stress...@gmail.com >> >>Also here’s an article about Trish as well from the local paper in 2011- >>http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/article_21eb2e96-3959-54de-bbd5-478c1121c26f.html >> >> >> >>From: Don Price <donpric...@yahoo.com> >>To: "quad-list@eskimo.com" <quad-list@eskimo.com> >>Sent: Wednesday, August 21, 2013 12:25 PM >>Subject: [QUAD-L] Anyone have stem cell therapy? >> >> >> >>Please email me if you have experience, good or bad, with stem cell therapy. >> >> >>Thanks, >>Don. >> >> >>From my friend Karen: >> >> >>I know this is probably a long shot but have any of you had stem cell >>therapy done?
