Muscular Dystrophy

The muscular dystrophies (MD) are a group of more than 30 genetic diseases characterized by progressive weakness and degeneration of the skeletal muscles that control movement. Some forms of MD are seen in infancy or childhood, while others may not appear until middle age or later. The disorders differ in terms of the distribution and extent of muscle weakness (some forms of MD also affect cardiac muscle), age of onset, rate of progression, and pattern of inheritance.

PATIENT EXPERIENCE

Picture
COUNTRY U.S.A. / AGE 48

Primary Condition Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD)
Secondary condition Diabetes IITreated Marc 15-April 21, 2009
Course of Treatment4 bags of umbilical cord stem cells via IV; 4 bags of S/C via intramuscular site injections (Round I: 60 injections into my biceps, thighs, and scapula/back; Round II: 24 injections into the front of my thighs and calves + 16 into the back of my legs); 1 Bone Marrow treatment.

Reason for Coming for TreatmentStanding is still difficult, but I am no longer falling when walking. I fall easily if I step on an obstacle, but this is rare. I have more energy and can now exercise every day for 1-2 hours without fatigue. In general, I am a bit stronger. Others have told me that my walking and gait are faster and smoother.

Follow Up CommentsMy overall experience was excellent. The doctors and staff at Beike were warm and friendly and treated me very well. They were genuinely concerned about my comfort and achieving results. They were also honest with me about the necessary physical therapy and exercise I would need when I returned home in order to give my treatment its best chance at success.I understand that given the need to rebuild muscle due to my condition, that several more months of therapy and exercise, combined with the time necessary for my stem cells to complete their replication and maturity process, will be required in order to fully discern my results. However, I feel that for the first time there is hope, and this alone has changed my life.
