Default Not Car related BUT Car guy related !!!

As a lot of you know I have been diagnosed with ALS.
A few of you know I have been given the opportunity to partake in a research study called Brain storm research study to find a cure for ALS. I am one of only 48 people in the United States to be involved in this study.
The procedure is they harvest some of my Bone Marrow then rework some of the cells from the Bone Marrow and in 24 days it is reintroduced ( injected ) back into my spine & 12 spots in my right arm.
After that I am back and forth to the hospital on specific dates & time to track the progress of the procedure .
Up to today there has been 3 visits to the hospital to do all the work up's for the start of the procedure.
Today we went in for the Bone Marrow Harvest.
All went well & am not hurting at this point but we will see what the morning brings.
We are hoping that this Research study will have " SHOCKING "
( just to keep it car related ) Results.
Not just for me / I feel in my Hart of Harts this won't cure me but maybe slow the progress of this Disease.
My hope is that this helps in some small way to cure ALS in the 30,000 +
people that are affected in the United States.

As a side note Research is finding that the single LARGEST individual group that is getting effected is for some reason the MILITARY

If you would like any information about what I know about ALS or would like to donate to the cure of this Disease email me at:
[email protected]

It's a little late to go to the garage now But in the morning it's back to my own form of " SHOCK THERAPY "

Brother Bill: Margretha and I knew about the ALS, of course, but not about the study / treatment protocol. You and Lee are certainly in our prayers, and we will redouble them now for the Brain Storm study. You are a fine example for the study: warm hearted and ever the optimist....Our precious Lord has a plan and we know the best is yet to come!!

This is just a thought , only halfway through my 1 st, tea this AM
What about in say a month or two we look at something 1/2 way between us.
( Date / Time / Location to be determined later )
Some type of 2 day deal.

Boy my brain is on fire here must be the real tea not the decaf type.
We put out the request to the Barner to join us & charge say a $10.00
fee / donation to go to ALS research.
Do you think there would be any takers ??

Thanks , Bill, for taking part in this research. I pray for a good outcome. After my 50 yr old daughter had a stroke, I took her to Baltimore for 2 different studies, made over 40 trips. It didn't help her much due to the neurological damage already done, but it will help others in the future. Well worth the effort.

Keep plugging Bill. I never met you but read a lot of your posts. I've got my own fight going, not ALS, but the only progress medicine seems to make is thru these experiments.
Its interesting they will use your own cells.

Bill K
This is a brand new study just excepted by the FDA in the last 6 months.
It came from Israel where there study's have had shown good results.
Most of the FDA approved study's require a 50 / 50 test 50% new drug
50% placebo
The Brain Storm study they are allowing a 75 / 25 test 75% stem cells
25% placebo
So it is all Good We Know there will be a few set backs with some participants , and that will be hard to take / But it is all part of the learning curve.

Just a follow up.
Today I go back to Worcester UMASS Memorial Hospital to get the stem cells put back that Dana Farber removed from my bone marrow That was taken from my right hip last month.
I have to stay in the Hospital through Sat. so they can watch for any negative reactions to the procedure .
Then for the next 10 months we keep going back to check up on how it is effecting the ALS that has effected my body.
The first part of the week with Lee being my hands we go back into the garage for what I call " SHOCK THERAPY " ( rebuilding your shocks )

If any one wants to donate to the Defeat of ALS they can go to this link and you can donate in my name or anonyms .

Here is my update on > A lousy situation = ALS <
Today we go out to Waltham Ma. @ Boston's Children's Hospital to Bank my voice .
This is a way to record & save my voice so that when I lose my voice
( and I will ) we can use it in a machine so I can communicate using my voice instead of the computer generated ones that we have all heard before . Will let you know how it goes ! ! !

Good on you Bill. As a Medic myself I am constantly amazed what is on the horizon. This treatment may or may not be the answer but at least you are helping all mankind by trialling it and determining this for us. One day we will cure ALS and it may not be far away.

When at med school I remember one of my Professors talking about the invention of the first Parkinsons drugs. He detailed how whole wards of immobile patients with Parkinsons Disease (who were there basically waiting to die) were given the drugs and got up and walked out of hospital . This generation is due another miracle !

I don't know you, but I have been following your progress since you first announced you had ALS. There are a lot of folks on this site who are thinking of you and praying for you. Your willingness to share your struggle with us is appreciated, though it must be difficult to do.
We are all pulling for you. Good luck.

Bill I just finished reading an article in my August issue of PN [paralyzed news] that an investigational new drug application from Q Therapeutics Inc. received approval for testing from the FDA for ALS. Great strides are being made in the cure for many disease because of people like yourself. I saw on the news tonight where this young lad had transplants for both his hands which he did not have any from birth. His words are worth repeating " believe in your dreams". He was all smiles,you never know he may turn out to be a great sports star. I pray that God will bless your efforts and the efforts of all those that participate in your trials.

Bill, thanks for all you are doing in this study, and may God grant you strength. I think of you when I drive my 35 over bumps, smooth! Paul

Two falls this month , first one I got up from my chair / all was well then my left knee gave out & down I went ( that makes the 6th fall since my ALS started )
This time Lee could not get me up , had to call 911 for help / paramedics came and got me up / no harm no foul nothing broke or out of place.
Well yesterday Lee & a friend from AZ & I went out to supper when we got home they were helping me into the house when my foot caught on the door sill & down I went.
This time I caught my right arm on the door latch on the way down.
putting a nice L shape cut on my arm.
Lee called 911 the paramedics came & got me up , then took me to the hospital where I got 7 stitches before going home.

( WITH EVERY STEP I TAKE IT'S ONE ALS DOES NOT TAKE FROM ME )

Hi Everyone, Bill, thanks for the update. I like your tagline, WITH EVERY STEP I TAKE IT'S ONE ALS DOES NOT TAKE FROM ME!

Really enjoying the ride of my car with your shocks.

I think I'm gonna try to find a bucket of ice! Who should I call out? Maybe all 'Barners?

Did they let you bank some curse words?
