should i pay $90,000 for stem cells?

A few of you may be curious about a few details of my IV treatments and since I don't know how to use any PR communication methods but this one I will butt in again! Please pardon...

My infusions were given daily, 7 days a week, at my doctor's infusion center which is located in a hospital about 45 minutes from my home.

I started with 2 weeks of oral doxy, no response, then began infusions.
The infusion was 2 mg of Rocephin daily. I had some B12 shots at my request but had no response so ended those.

The first weeks I had a good bit of nausea but not on a daily basis. Also had fatigue, some days more than others.
Very extreme fatigue--but I am so used to fatigue--what was what? Meds or CFS?

Very gradually I had a positive response. I ended my 15th week yesterday. Missed 8 infusions but got in all the others.

Going into that setting on a daily basis, so many different illnesses, such varied personalities--quite an experience on the human level too.

Going to study all things tech now; I'm sure I just violated at least 6 rules...
Be well--
