CCSVI TESTING / TESTS CCSVI *CANADA*

Post by SickButHappy »

*VERSION FRANÇAISE DANS MESSAGE SUIVANT*
The purpose of this thread is to get an overview of CANADIAN that got tested for CCSVI. Here we hope to collect as many accounts as possible, neatly organized without interruptions.

So, the idea of this thread is to have one post per patient, each of which will hopefully be updated regularly using the "Edit" feature, basically however often patients like (though probably not too often as this might make the long term development hard to follow). Edits should be to the point and could include past MRI and other test results, original CCSVI testing results, side of major IJV stenosis (if applicable), side of most lesions as well as symptoms.

**This is not a thread compiling treatment** (might be coming)

Finally, if you could post MRV and other images, that would be fantastic to give people a feel for what kinds of malformations we're looking at. I found http://photobucket.com/ a hassle-free site for uploading and hosting images anonymously.

For the sake of keeping the thread neatly organized, we ask others to refrain from posting comments on patients logs. [u][u]Comments outside of personal CCSVI accounts will be erased by the moderator.[/u][/u]

*the moderator does this to help Canadians with MS to get information, but this doesn't represent any form of statistical analysis, the moderator cannot verify the information submitted and finally, this IS NOT a governmental site or from for the MS Association* THIS IS PURELY INFORMATIVE.

Donc, l'idée de cette compilation est d'avoir un message/patient CANADIENS, que vous pourrez mettre à jour si nécessaire en utilisant le bouton "edit". Les mises à jour doivent être courtes svp, pour garder le tout facile à lire.

**Ceci n'est pas un lien compilant les traitements** (un suivra sûrement)

Finalement, si vous voulez mettre vos images MRV ou autres, ceci pourrait être fantastique, rendant le tout plus tangible. Le site [url]http://photobucket.com/[/url] semble facile d'utilisation et permet de mettre des images de façon anonyme.

Pour le bien de la compilation, nous vous demandons de ne pas commenter sur les messages des patients. [u]Les commentaires sur les messages seront effacés par le modérateur.[/u]

*le modérateur fait ceci pour aider les Canadiens ayant la SP à obtenir de l'information, mais ceci ne représente pas un exercice statistique, le modérateur ne peut pas contre-vérifier l'information et enfin, il ne s'agit PAS d'un site gouvernemental ou de l'Association de la SP* CECI EST PUREMENT INFORMATIF.
