I hope the term 'fence sitter' has the same kind of meaning in the rest of the world as Ireland - it means a procrastinator/wary person.:lol:

I'm finally going for a Doppler, next Wednesday in Dublin, Ireland. The sonographer has recently trained with Dr. Simka. There is no-one that I know of in Ireland that is yet doing MRV or any angioplasty for CCSVI but at least I'll know if it's present or not, and then I can weigh up my options.

Wish me luck Thisisms'ers! I was, I think, about the 5th or 6th person who replied to the very first CCSVI thread on here, and I've been watching and waiting all this time. I have to admit I feel cautious excitement.

Hi Wonderfulworld,

Well done on finding someone in Ireland that will do an ultrasound. Is s/he open to testing others? I am on the list for dr Simka in Poland but would be interested in getting tested here in Ireland if it was available first.

Thanks
Maureen

Yes, fence sitter means the same thing in California...and there's nothing wrong with being cautious! We've been yacking about this together for awhile now. Hope you get some answers-

I always understood fence-sitting to mean not committing one way or the other. In any case, find someone good to do the test.

You should not wish diseases on anybody but I hope they will find CCSVI in you

Erika, Mutley, Shye & Cheer thanks!

Maureen yes they are open to testing others, I've pm'ed you the details.

I kind-of know what you mean Lyon, I feel similarly. I suppose if I have a result of some kind it's better than not knowing at all. However, I am reserving judgement on it all for the moment, watching carefully!

Nunzio, I am hoping they find obvious CCSVI too. At least it gives me something to potentially be able to fix.

Will keep you all updated. :wink:

Hi WW!!

Down here in Mississippi we would say you were straddling the fence...

Glad to hear you have decided to have the doppler!
