Some memories are etched on people’s minds for years together. Just like the story we have here today. His is a story to tell the world not because of his struggles but for his unfailing determination to beat his own disabilities. From the outside, everything seemed right for this young dental surgeon at 40’ at least, that was the presumption people had of him. He kept strong and never showed people his other side. Since at the age of 12, he started experience weakness in his leg muscles. He could not run on for long. He would either fall or get tired. Taking the stairs became a nightmare for him. His weakness got worse with time and by age 35, he could not walk at all. One would have expected him to give up hope and stay in his sick bed. But this incredible man took a step forward and continued with his work.
He made sure he gave undivided love and attention to his parents. Never a day came that he missed work as he did not want his loved ones around to notice his disabilities. But as luck could have it, his condition again showed signs of getting even worse at the age of 40. This time he could not keep up with work because of his upper limbs weakness. Even then, he ignored his pain and continued with his work as usual. When work eventually slowed down for him, he decided that he needed to find a cure for himself.
He made a list of several treatment options until he zeroed down to Neurogen. Things changed from there and he was never the same person again.
Patient’s life after treatment at Neurogen
The doctors examined his case and detected that his leg muscles were really weak and therefore could not keep up with movement. They studied all his weak points together and suggested him to go forward with stem cell therapy for becker’s muscular dystrophy. It was followed with extensive rehabilitation program and a string of exercises to for better muscle performance. That was followed up with psychological counseling to help him keep up with his confidence. The first improvements noticed in him was that he was able to sit without taking any assistance and switch positions from the chair to the bed independently. After completing five years, he was able to stand with the help of a splint and bilateral support. Satisfied with the first therapy, he went for a second round of stem cell therapy. After eight months of completion of the second therapy, he improved even further. He was able to perform his exercise without much trouble, was able to walk with the help of walker and no longer needed help to do his toilet activities and bed mobility. He was determined to further improve his condition and therefore went ahead with yet another therapy. He became almost independent in all his daily activities by the end of the third round.
How has it impacted the lives of those around him?
His life story inspired many people including the whole team at Neurogen. They were equally moved on seeing his determination and inspired with his fighting spirit. The team is determined to bring up stem cell therapy to a whole new standard.

Today he is leading a normal life and that is nothing short of a gift to his family. Their belief in miracles is stronger than ever today!
