After twelve years on DMARDs and biologics, Margaret found a different path forward.
After 12 years on methotrexate and two different biologics, I was tired of the constant infections and feeling rundown. Three months after MSC therapy, my morning stiffness went from 3 hours to 30 minutes. I'm gardening again, holding my grandchildren, living my life.— Margaret K.
Long-term DMARD and biologic therapy with recurrent infections and fatigue
Regenerative treatment targeting systemic inflammation, coordinated with rheumatologist
Shorter morning stiffness, gardening, grandchildren on her lap
Fourteen years into her RA diagnosis, Margaret was cycling through medications to stay ahead of flares. The medicines worked — mostly — but the infections and fatigue never let up.
"Every cold turned into two weeks. Every flare set me back another month."
Sterling's team reviewed her rheumatology history carefully and coordinated with her specialist at home. The goal was modest: reduce inflammation, potentially allow lower medication doses.
"They weren't asking me to stop anything. They were adding a tool."
By month three, the morning routine changed. The three-hour stiffness window that had framed her day shrank to thirty minutes. Garden mornings returned. So did picking up her grandchildren.
"I'm not in remission. I have RA. But I have a life inside it again."
