Kerrie
O'connor, 4th February, 2010
There is hope for everyone!
Date of Birth: 1951
Home Country: Australia
My name is Kerrie O'connor. I am married and am
59 years of age. I have had Multiple Sclerosis
for 19 years. I first realised something was
amiss when, quite suddenly, I lost vision in my
left eye and the left half of my body went
quite numb.
I went to my local doctor who in turn sent me
to a neurologist. He did all the tests such as
an MRI scan, lumbar puncture and a number of
neuro tests. Then, I was told the news that I
has MS.
All my systems returned to normal for sixteen
years. In the last 3 years, I have become a lot
worse: fatigue; my left leg does not want to do
what I want it to do; everything that goes with
MS, I have. I was put on injections which, I
still have every day. I just didn't seem to be
showing much improvement.
I researched the Internet, did my homework, and
came upon the Xcell Centre in Germany. I did
lots of research on it and decided to e-mail
the centre about what they do regarding adult
stem cells. The treatment sounded as if it was
for me, so in November 2009, my husband and I
went to Cologne, Germany for stem cell
treatment. We decided if I could have a better
quality of life, we would give it a try.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
I have been home now for nine weeks and I feel
so much better. I can stand for a longer time
on my legs, my balance has improved, my walking
has slightly improved and I can walk for longer
periods of time unaided. & I look healthy
once more. I can only hope that I keep
improving as much in the next nine weeks as I
have in the past nine.
The centre was just fabulous; very professional
in everything they do. I was so lucky to have
been able to go to Germany for treatment.
My family can see the improvement in me.
