I had the procedure done 5 July. The first week was great, much improvement. But the last week and a half I've been feeling like I must have re-stenosed or there was another vein we still needed to dilate or something. Many of the benefits I had directly after the procedure had gone--my balance was bad, huge limp, hard to walk, legs and arm very weak. It's only been 2 1/2 weeks since my procedure and I was really disappointed.
Then tonight we watched a movie, and at the end it was 9 pm and I was still awake. Not only that, I could walk better! Balance was better! Hand flexible again and stronger! Leg stronger! OMG! I feel like I did after the procedure, like the first week!
I don't know why or how, but I don't care. I feel good again. I have hope again. Tomorrow will bring whatever it brings, but right now is just fine.

Laura, your story sounds like my wife's. First incredible improvements and after 3-4 days positive effects vanished (and herpes attack same time) and it took 1,5 weeks before positive effects came back, little by little. Now its one month from procedure and wife is doing really great. Summasummarum: I have red that many feel ups and downs after procedure. Feels like MS just keeps hanging there and maybe with time will lose the battle. Now, the biggest fear is re-stenosis - just wish that it could be checked in hometown..

Thanks for all the good wishes! It is the next morning and I still feel good.
MShusband: I had severe narrowings in both left and right jugulars which were ballooned. Azygous was clear. Went in on right so iliac and renal not checked. I take vitamins and supplements. Still take vites but ceased all supplements when things got wierd.
Ernst: sounds very similar to your wife's. In 12 hours I had improvement. That was the middle of the night! The next morning my husband's back went out (very worrying as we were in a foreign country and were not sure he could sit in a plane a few days later to go back) and very little sleep then long plane trip and recovering. (He did okay on the plane with ice on his back). Still retained improvement till the 12th then symptoms off and on --then just on-- for 10 days then it all backed off. Now only feel better, ready to heal the rest of the way.

Some very kind people on this board told me this after my procedure, "two steps forward, one step back, your body needs to adjust to the new bloodflow".
I'm so happy for you!
