This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

I am having trouble tracking down the long term success stories of HiCy.
Most of the HiCy participant blogs only go for a year and then stop.

Maybe people would like to use this thread to share any HiCy success stories they know about?

Thanks,

Hi Looking,

I am about to start the Hic at Rush assuming my insurance goes thru.
It seems sort of silly for them to spend nearly 100,000 a year between drugs and hospital visits , and turn down this potential avenue for future good health. My Doc says the next option would be Gilenya for symptomatic control, there's 48 grand a year.
Anyway rant over, I agree, I don't know where people drop off to. I hope it's good place.

I ahd the good fortune to be introdiced to patient number 3 from Rush. She's now 5 years out. Feels great has no signs of disease activity, either on scan or otherwise. The last question I asked her was would she do it again, and she answered with a very hearty YES, In a heartbeat. I hope to have lunch with her this coming week, so if you have questions you would like me to ask, send 'em my way.

Best to you..
Colleen

Feels great has no signs of disease activity, either on scan or otherwise.

May I ask: how disabled was she before the treatment?

Thank you
