Even my tinitus started when upon diagnosis i have had a five day course of solymedrol. A coinsidence?
Anyway, all i am trying to say is that i hope that problems in "secondary" smaller veins may not be as catastrophic for us since its gonna take a while for scientists to diagnose and treat.
Zeureka, keep smiling girl.
Given the fact i have cervical lesions (c2 and c4-c5) and no brain lesions (yet) would it be safe to make the assumption that the problem lays somewhere there IF CCSVI applies to me? Especially for the C4-C5 problem, from what you told us, it is more likely to connect with the azygous and NOT the Jugular veins. Goodbye doppler haha
On the other hand, you wrote: There are also veins that connect the cervical plexuses to the upper jugular vein itself. What's the deal?
Umm, maybe upper cervical spine drains to the Juggs and lower to the Azygous? Couldn't God make it a bit more simple?
why should only two type of veins (jugular and azygos) be affected in CCSVI? - very likely more other veins will be stenosed, just that we do not know as protocols not worked out for those yet.

So VERY SORRY should I have given a misleading message before...(that I came up with mentioning stainless steel stents was due to my ignorance on stent materials and based only on internet information related to the "Genesis" type stent that had been told have been used in Poland before or maybe were used in the procedure in the very very start?). I'll never stop learning....and SORRY again...

so it is possible that your lesions are due to jugular problems. Just as easily it could be that all of your flow from the thoracic and lubmar spine had to bypass the azygous and travel up to get back to the heart
ralph waldo emerson said people see what they are prepared to see. I would like you to be prepared for all the variations that can occur.
God simple.....i dont think so

Hi everybody!
Of course Dr. Simka told me before my procedure there would be no problem having MR. Everybody knows we, MS people must have sometimes MRI. I had my first MRV some 70 days after the procedure in Poland when I had my follow up.
I wanted the procedure right after my first Doppler - August 7th, 2009. Dr. Simka explained me that except other things he must get proper stents for this procedure.
It was me who wanted the procedure a lot. I was and I am aware of possible problems in the future.
I knew we must do something to have some results. Animals can not talk with you but I can![]()
I do not know exactly what kind of stent is Genesis.
So far I have no problems with it.
Erika
