This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Community: Knowledge & Support

I have had angioplasty and have one stent LIJ

Stabilization has been achieved Thank God

I use a Lazy boy to sleep in and it works great

Lately However, Mornings are generally good, but as the day goes on, Brain fog seems to slip in and a number of my old symptoms raise there ugly head.

Any suggestions what is happening

Gordon,

First, I have not had the treatment. My questions/comments are drawn from lots of reading here on TiMS..

1) how were things for you prior to treatment?
2) have you considered sleeping less upright to allow for circulation through your newly opened jugular/s?
3) are you able to get exercise? to get that blood flowing.
4) was your azygos imaged? treated?
5) how long ago were you treated?

just a start...

1) how were things for you prior to treatment?

I have mild MS and in genral, I am significantly better until last Friday. I made a mistake of having a couple of glasses of wine and overexerted myself exersize wise

2) have you considered sleeping less upright to allow for circulation through your newly opened jugular/s?
So when you stand up I guess they close and when you lie down they open. I will try this tonight

3) are you able to get exercise? to get that blood flowing.
yes I walk every day and will contine but less agressively

4) was your azygos imaged? treated? It was fine but may have to be rechecked


5) how long ago were you treated? August 14 so it is 10 weeks now

Good luck

At 2 1/2 months out, do you have a follow-up Doppler scheduled soon? They'd be able to determine if this is restenosis. Are you continuing to take an aspirin or any anticoagulant medication? Keep us updated if this clears up or if you find anything out via Doppler, ok? We don't yet know what the care and maintenance plan for stents looks like. Also in the event of clotting or regrowth, the IR can do more if it's caught when it's narrowed than when it is completely occluded, so time is of the essence there. Take care.

Yes, this is the most important!
Thank you Cece

THanks everyone

I had one at about 6 weeks and all was okay

Have another in mid November
