I’m sorry I haven't written recently, but October 27th marked my one-year “Stemversary”. I wanted to give a quick update on how I am feeling and what I have been up to. All in all, I would say that in the last year I have seen many improvements. Although I would not consider myself in… Continue reading One Year Later…

A Quick 6 Month Update!
Hi Everyone, I know it’s been a while since I have written anything. Things have been pretty busy with graduate school, my internship, wedding planning, and just life in general. On the plus side, I have been able to get everything done despite a few rough days here and there. My pain and fatigue are still… Continue reading A Quick 6 Month Update!
Day 100
I can’t believe it’s been one hundred days since I received my stem cells. It truly has been a roller coaster. Tyler and I celebrated by going to see country artists Kane Brown and Chris Young on Friday! Coming back from Germany, I was feeling tired but a little better than when I had left.… Continue reading Day 100
Week 11: Hoping To Get Back To Where I Was Before
I felt pretty good when I got back from Germany initially. I was just really tired, but my pain was better (not gone but better) and I had a little more energy than normal.

Arrival And The First Few Days of Treatment at Villa Medigrun
We arrived in Germany around 12pm on Sunday October 15th after traveling for about 13 hours. The owner of our Air B&B offered to pick us up, which was great. He drove like a bat out of hell since there are no highway speed limits in Germany, so it was about a 20 minute drive… Continue reading Arrival And The First Few Days of Treatment at Villa Medigrun
The “Oh So Wonderful” Thymus Injections
As I mentioned in my pervious post, to prepare for my treatment in October I have to receive thymus therapy via injections. These injections help increase the number of stem cells in your blood and start the immune modulation part of your therapy. The immune modulation and thymus injections will continue in Germany as well. I… Continue reading The “Oh So Wonderful” Thymus Injections
