Three years have flown by! It’s almost surreal that I was in Russia this time three years ago undergoing HSCT for PPMS. My EDSS* was 6 then, today I’d say I’m a 4 on a good day. EDSS doesn’t take into consideration my other issues, only your physical disabilities, my main disabilities are cognitive, etc… I still have lots of damage and issues, but physically I’m stronger due to a lot of time in the gym, walking and biking. I’m not complaining, I was a 6 and progressing at 1 point a year that would make me a 9 now… 10 is “Death due to MS”. Obviously I’m happy with the results, and have put in the time to see what I could get back. You can read my 1 year and 2 year post to see my symptom improvements, nothing there has changed since the first 12 months. Other than that I really don’t have much to report. I’m often asked what my walking looks like, so I put together a video reviewing the past 3 years, and included some clips of before, during, and after. (see below)
