Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

Stem cell therapy is completely cost prohibitive in the USA, where I've been quoted treatments cost around $5000 dollars each from two different sources. I've been told by my CFIDS specialist that the treatment should be done every 3 months.

So I have a Christian holistic doctor with an MD educational background that amazingly offered me Chinese stem cell therapy at her cost, which was quite cheap since she had it shipped over with an order combined from a total of 3 doctors. I started it just over 2 months ago. I have autoimmune thyroiditis and immune deficiency. What I can tell you is that I felt a decrease in pain in my neck, where I have the most pain, but the effect was strongest right after I got the shot in both elbows, and it doesn't completely remove the pain. I still have to do my neck exercises and stretches and get adjusted by a chiropractor every three weeks so it doesn't become too painful for me and turn into headaches. I didn't notice an effect on my energy levels, but I got COVID-19 four or five weeks after the treatment, which hasn't helped me determine the results very well.

My doctor also has access to placenta stem cell therapy, which I would have preferred, but she wanted to try Chinese stem cell therapy on me first.

Thanks to keepontruckin at phoenixrising.me for showing us even better news on the current research for improvement on stem cell therapy for autoimmune treatment at Mayo Clinic here Scientists pioneer immunotherapy technique for autoimmune diseases

Will this new modified treatment turn out to be a less expensive option?

To understand the differences between Chinese and placenta stem cell therapy, here is an article entitled Development and regulation of stem cell‐based therapies in China and another article entitled Placental-derived stem cells: Culture, differentiation and challenges

Hi All!
I'm pumped! 😎👍👏💙
Maybe I shouldn't be, but I am so looking forward to the eclipse! Got glasses, food, family will be with me (Hubby and grown daughters, and a couple friends) I know it's only gonna be a little while, but we need this joy after all the sorrows we have endured lately.
Hoping All of You find some Joy, too!
Gentle Hugs. 💖 #Depression #Fibromyalgia #HashimotosThyroiditis #DegenerativeDiscDisease

So I got COVID-19 for the second time just over 2 weeks ago, and am unvaccinated. I have increased fatigue from the first time I got it more than 2 years ago, which has left me unable to work, whereas previously, with lots of treatment, I decreased my fatigue enough to work part-time.

I have CFIDS with immune defiicency and autoimmune thyroiditis. So I can't take any vaccinations using an autoimmune delivery system, which leaves only Novavax.

The only reason I would be interested in taking Novavax is to prevent Long Covid to try to get working again, since I have strong lungs and don't end up in the hospital with COVID-19. I am still trying new treatments for my immune system.

So have you taken Novavax, and if so, what was your response to COVID-19 after taking it? Are you immune deficient?

Thanks so much for responding to this. If you wish to speak more privately instead of posting here, please don't hesitate to message me.

I wish my Doggie's Doctor could treat me!
Let's back up for a moment.
Ahem. There. Ok. I took my Dog to her Veterinary office today because she was having problems. Turns out she is Diabetic. Her Doctor got her in right away. Everyone in the office was pleasant, and knew my Doggie's name, and she was not afraid one bit, I could just tell! They did tests, pronto, and had a diagnosis within an hour of my dropping her off! She will be in the doggie hospital for 3 days, get her sugar regulated, and I will have explicit instructions on how/what to do! Her Doctor called me and explained all options, treatment, everything --clearly--.
Now. I don't know about you. But I wish I could be treated by my Doggie's Doctor!

I read somewhere that now they think Fibromyalgia is a flaw in perception of pain by the brain. (Okaaaaay...)
So why are we not being referred to neurology??? Why the Rheumatologist???
I'm not actually expecting an answer, (goodness knows it's been a long time since we've had any that make sense) but just wondering if I'm the only crazy lady out here that has this thought. Thanks Mighties. I appreciate you. 🌹

My name is Aud, and this is the year I’m advocating for my health and not being quiet about how I feel. I found out today that I have had Hashimoto’s Disease for years, and my previous doctors never noticed/told me I had anything beyond regular hypothyroidism.

I’m not sure how I feel. Part of me is validated; I’m not crazy. Part of me is triumphant; I stood up for myself, and I’m starting to get some answers. But mostly, I’m exhausted; I know I’m just at the beginning of this journey, and it is daunting. #HashimotosThyroiditis #Undiagnosed #ChronicIllness
