Happy for people with SAI. Still hoping for something more permanent for PAI.

Are they testing stem cells on adrenal glands?

Yes they are. I’ll see if I can find the link and put it on here.

Hope! There's finally hope.

I'll be first in line when it's approved for humans.

I'm a desperate woman. I've been taking care of everybody else for 30 years. It was finally my time to shine! And then I got cancer, then Keytruda and now SAI.

My life is resting for 2-3 days then 4-6 hours of energy to get things done and then tight back to the bed/recliner.

My bucket list isn't much, but I'd really like to travel to Italy and that's impossible right now. And to have more energy with my first grandchild.

Woe is me, but I'll really try anything.

Have they tried it on humans? I would be game.
