This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Community: Knowledge & Support

That would be very interesting as I am curious to know if anyone has truly had significant, life changing benefit as a result of their treating a diagnosis of ccsvi. I was treated in Bulgaria and would love to have a place to chat about it.

After my treatment I believe ccsvi is caused by other conditions, one of which is Multiple Sclerosis. I have had much change since the operation on May 5th and all for the worse. I'm significatley more disabled 10 weeks after the operation.

You're not the first to report a worsening of symptoms. Have you posted on the 'Post if CCSVI treatment did NOT work for you' thread?

Ups, sorry, I misread your post! I saw the word 'decline' and not 'decline in disability' !

I dont know I was Holly Sheans Boyfreind for 13 years.I believe it was the blood thinners

According to Holly,She would do anything for her symptoms.She know it wasn`t a cure but a relief from her progressive ms.

Were you rechecked to see if you have restenosed?

L you had it right, 10 weeks after ccsvi surgery in Sofia I am more disabled than ever, obvious to anyone.

jerkbutt, I am so sad for you, I don't know what to say. I did not know what to think but then last time you posted that she was on two blood thinners? I don't know of any doctors who are putting people on two blood thinners for this, that doesn't seem right.

Chris, if you post in Dr. Sclafani's thread, I wonder what he would suggest could cause this? It's the nightmare scenario, to go for this and get worse because of it. And of course after I type this I realize we're in the thread of someone who lost a loved one to this, which is beyond a nightmare.

Jerkbutt, I'm so sorry for your loss. I won't go into details here but I've lost many people that I love. I know how painful it is. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Hi Jerkbutt!

I miss Holly as well. I wish you the best. I hope you solve the problems with house soon.

You're right Cece, there are some who are suffering the loss of a loved one from this horrible disease and jerkbutt my heart goes out to you.
I hope you can find comfort in the many happy memories you're sure to have. I hurt for you.

Cece, I will try to find the energy to write in Dr. Sclafanis' thread. Energy is hard to come by and fingers are failing big time. Give it a college try tomorrow.

Night All,
Chris

A vague try: heart muscle, if pumped at the wrong time or with particular valvular problems, it seems to me should cause significant reverse circulation. A (right) heart-driven reversal will cause significant instantaneous vein pressure into the brain. The symptoms of insufficient tri-cuspid valves are the same as those of MS. The prevalence is higher. I have seen them called 'jets'. That may be why Dr. Schelling advises against removal of right jugular valves. I don't know.

But I'll be damned if I'll forgo this procedure because of some ignorance. Some may. Not me. If I were king I would have it available for all who wanted it. There's where we need research: the complications, the exceptions. And all of our hard-to-treat hardened disabilities. Stem cells. My friend with the broken neck. Those with worsening symptoms should be 1st priority for research. How else can everybody avoid it, if we don't even allow people to find out about it?
