Welcome RickyBobby.

Thanks, I have had 2 stem cell treatments in Panama that have helped me quite a bit..

My biggest issue is due is my vision ....or lack of....lol
The double vision keeps me from doing allot of things......like driving n enjoying my hobbies of fishing n wrenching on my cars

I am currently doin oxygen treatments in sets of 20 sessions every few months....as money allows since I had to retire after my accident n am now on a fixed income...

The oxygen has lessened tremors that I'd get on my affected side (left side) n has recovered some feeling to my face, which in turn has helped my speech

The folks at the oxygen therapy have recommended that I go see Dr. E. Tobinik in Boca Raton Florida as they've seen his patients improve with his treatment/injection..
I have n appt. on July 10th!
