From the thread "Experimental MS treatments and the ethical issues." page 2


You can't find 'stenosis' per se by doppler (and that's a broad term anyway - and if the issue is valves as our doctors conclude, those are well below the clavicle, and would be seen via venogram, which this case seems to warrant based on "narrowing") ... you could see narrowings though. (you can ask Dr. Sclafani what he'd do if he saw narrowings on an ultra-sound though ... he's available)

again, I'm not getting into a tit-for-tat ... I'll just let the statements and arguments of others continue. Just think all the cards should be laid on the table for everyone to see what has been said and when.


just saying.

LETS GET THIS STRAIGHTENED OUT

COLLAPSED VEINS ARE NOT STENOSES VEINS
NARROWED VEINS ARE NOT NECESSARILY STENOTIC VEINS

IF THERE IS NO FLOW IN THE JUGULAR VEIN WHEN YOU LIE DOWN, THEN YOUR JUGULAR VEINS WILL BE NARROWED, JUST AS EVERY HEALTHY PERSON HAS NARROWED JUGULAR VEINS WHEN THEY ARE SITTING UP AND THE BLOOD IS DRAINING THROUGH THE VERTEBRAL VEINS.

IF YOU HAVE AN OBSTRUCTION OF YOUR JUGULAR VEINS, THEN YOU SURELY COULD HAVE NARROWED VEINS WHEN YOU LIE DOWN.

ok, bonus points for quoting drsclafani.
But I would think if a technician commented on the narrowing, it would be because it was abnormal narrowing, not normal narrowing. It's all carrot juice anyway, I was recently told, until you get to the catheter venogram.

oh, thornyrose. I knew concerned's story, I didn't know or had forgotten all of yours. MS is awful.
