I also am feeling confident since I've now had two different imaging tests done both of which were interpreted as positive for CCSVI. No reason to think the catheter venogram would show any different.

I need more smile emoticons!

I think there is every reason to consider that venography will show things more clearly, and indeed identify things not recognized on mrv or US

and good news! i finally got my IVUS up and running today. and it did help me.

Cece, you must be ecstatically happy!

CCSVI, Dr.S, and IVUS!

Here's a handful of smiley face emoticons for you!

You're right, of course. I am happy if the catheter venogram shows more or more clearly, as long as it too shows CCSVI.

That is great news on the IVUS.

HappyPoet, thanks for the smileys.

Now that I've identified my jugulars in these dang images (to which I'm aware that I'm paying too much mind, they are carrot juice to the promised champagne ), I see that I misidentified the bright light on the long image of my left jugulars. That light is just an artifact of the imaging, it moves out of the way when I twist the image.

My left jugular is the one on the right that has a diagonal slash across it but does seem to exist again below that slash.

I think having both jugulars and the azygous appear to be messed up is a good thing when it comes to treatment, because it's three opportunities for improvement.

Still seven weeks away from treatment. I am not good at waiting. Although Christmas should be a good distraction.
