The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.

If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.

    When I was first diagnosed I was told by my then consultant that a cure was 'just around the corner'. That was 50 years ago & I've gone round the corner so many times I'm dizzy.

    Yet another announcement of something that could fail in human trials many years hence. I do wish they would hold back on these until there is something positive to say in the actual treatment.

    Hi Del, I am sure you are probably right and in a way I wish they would say nothing until it can be used as a treatment but on the otherhand it is still good to see mention of arthritis in the press and that we are not completely forgotten.

    :smile: AC put the link on FB so I thought I would pop it on here in case peeps were interested that are not interested in FB.

    I know why they print these things but I do wish they wouldn't. Surely they won't know how to stop it until they truly get a handle on why the damn stuff happens in the first place. To my mind OA is a 'logical' kind of arthritis, the immune ones anything but. Understand the causes then that might help with the cure - and I bet you that what works for one won't for another. :smile: This is a perverse set of conditions and a 'one size fits all' will never work - well, it doesn't with clothes and they're straightforward!

    Hi, I have already had a stem cell injection and believe me it isn't a revolutionary jab and it probably won't halt arthritis, maybe just repair some of the damage caused by arthritis. Stem cell injections have been available worldwide for years, people can go and try an injection now if they wish. 1000's of humans have been treated, me being one of them, and I'd have it done again. Its not something you have to wait years for. Bear in mind this doesn't mean it will cure you or relieve you of your pain.

    As we know there are lots of different types of arthritis, but I think this article was focussing on OA and not all types of arthritis. I had a bone marrow derived stem cell procedure, the article talks about fat derived stem cell procedure. The UK is developing stem cell procedures to help suffers of OA and has 4 centres focussing on this job right now. In my lifetime I think stem cell or gene therapy are my only chances of avoiding or delaying further surgery to my OA riddled joints. Please read this article now for further information on this matter.

    http://www.arthritisresearchuk.org/about_us/arthritis_news/press_releases/2011/tissue_centre_launch.aspx

    I will update my own stem cell post with my post procedure results later in the year. I hope it will be of interest to some.

    Thanks Elna for posting. It is always interesting to read these sort of articles. Anti -tnf/ biologics had to start somewhere.
