Well said, and some more for them that forget were are we and why we are here:mmcc wrote:Why would you want people who have not neccessarily jumped in the CCSVI pond not to come here. Personally, although I am going to have the procedure, I think opinions from those who have decided to wait or not have it at all to be valuable.
This is not "magical." It should be a rational, science based decision. The truth is that "belief" is not the issue. Even the inventor of the procedure thinks more research needs to be done.
There have been many discoveries made which over the long haul were not nearly what was hoped for. This could be one of those. The risks are not yet clear - NO risk is clear in less than a year. The benefits are also not known - are they only a few months, are they years, are they permanent?
Anyone who thinks that they are having the procedure and are not being guinea pigs is not being realistic. NO DRUG would be administered by doctors without far more testing than this procedure has had.
If this thread becomes nothing but a cheering section, it has no value. The value is in sharing information - good, abd, and ugly.
