Hello, As per medical history given by you, we understand that you have shown to many doctors but with no help. You can still consider a neurologist's opinion. But sometimes these kinds of symptoms can also be stress or anxiety related. So we would suggest you kindly consult a psychiatrist too. He will assess your case and if there is no underlying medical cause he may help you. Moreover, there are many therapists who work on the development of muscle strength. A psychiatrist may be of help since there is a possibility of a lot of stress and anxiety build-up due to long illness. Wish you a speedy recovery. Keeping in mind that you require a holistic approach for this disorder, we are linking following pages for you hoping that it will help - a.) Psychiatrists in India, b.) Best Neurologist in India.

Hello, Transverse myelitis is an inflammation on both sides of one section of the spinal cord (in your case it is cervical). This neurological disorder damages the insulating material of the nerve fibres which results in interruption of the nerve conduction system. Usually, recovery begins from two to twelve weeks of the first onset of symptoms and may continue up to two years. In case, if there is no improvement in symptoms within several months then the recovery is difficult. About one-third of these patients show partial or full recovery. However, take a second opinion from a neurologist. Don't lose hope. Regular treatment will be of help. Hope our answer helps you. You can refer our page to find neurologists who can give additional information and second opinions - Best Neurologist in India.

The sensory test is also normal. There is an uncontrolled trembling that occurs frequently. Now, this symptom is gradually being observed in the upper limbs also. Progressive myelopathy with no medication available has been diagnosed by a Neurologist. What are the options available for the treatment?

Bracing, physical therapy and medication are treatments for mild myelopathy and mainly reduce pain, allowing you to return to your daily activities. Nonsurgical treatment does not remove the compression. Spinal decompression surgery is a generally preferred treatment for myelopathy to relieve pressure on the spinal cord. A surgery can also be used to remove bone spurs or herniated discs if they are the cause of myelopathy. For advanced myelopathy caused by stenosis, a surgical procedure to increase the channel space of your spinal cord (laminoplasty) recommended. Consult a spinal surgeon - Spinal Surgery doctors in Mumbai, you can also search for a different city.

My sister was diagnosed with Leukemia and doctors have advised Stem Transplant which can be done at specialist hospitals in India. Please tell us the cost of bone marrow transplants in such hospitals?

Hello Oladapo,

  1. Since Acute Myeloid leukaemia, Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and even Chronic myeloid leukemia usually require an allogeneic bone marrow transplant, therefore she will have to find an HLA match donor for the stem cell transplant. And then send all the tests, medical reports and HLA results, so the oncologist here can confirm the prognosis.
  2. Siblings are the best candidate for stem cell donation in this case. So the cost of an allogeneic stem cell transplant in India is around 25,00,000($35,022) - 30,00,000 ($42,027). In case she requires an autologous stem cell transplant, it will cost around 15,00,000 ($21,013) - 17,00,000 ($23,652).
  3. This could enhance your understanding of bone marrow transplant procedure - process you should follow to get Bone Marrow Transplant in India. Hope our answer helps. You can find hematologists on our page - Hematologists in Bangalore. Let us know if your city is different!
  4. you can also check our blog 60 days after a bone marrow transplant for post surgery information.

Can an HIV patient go through a Bone Marrow transplant?

Hello,

  • Assuming you're HIV positive with cancer, and in need of Bone Marrow Transplant: we will first have to check your reports. We will have to see the diagnosis, medical reports, medical history, etc, to see whether a Bone Marrow Transplant would be necessary or not. There are ways to control HIV like increasing the CD34 count. Apart from this there are also other ways but only after that can you be considered a transplant.
     
  • Now, Considering you are seeking cure for HIV through Bone marrow transplant (BMT):
  1. There have only been two successful cases where HIV was cured with Bone marrow transplant and in both cases the patients had cancer with BMT as a last resort treatment. In case of both cases the patients were suffering from life-threatening advanced stage cancer. The first such case occurred in Berlin, where an American Patient named Timothy Brown had myeloid leukemia and was also HIV positive. He was in the advanced stage of this blood cancer and the doctors had decided to do a Bone marrow transplant and also attempt to clear the HIV simultaneously. Since HIV patients can only get an allogeneic transplant, they had searched for a donor with a rare genetic mutation of the CCR5 gene for both the Berlin patient to make them HIV-resistant. After that the Berlin patient took regular bantiretroviral drugs that suppress HIV and has been virus-free ever since.
  2. The second successful case was in London, where the patient with Hodgkin's lymphoma and HIV virus was also in the advanced stage of cancer as the doctors decided attempted a stem cell transplant for their cancer and simultaneously attempt to clear HIV. And similarly they searched a stem cell donor with a rare genetic mutation of the CCR5 gene for the patient to make them HIV-resistant. The London patient stopped taking the medication 18 months ago and there is no sign of a return of HIV.
     
  • They are not likely to do BMT just to cure HIV. But if you are a cancer patient you should consult a hemato-oncologist for added information. Our page could help you find experts, refer it - Medical Hematology - Oncologists in Mumbai. Let us know if your city is different, I hope our answer helps
