Dr. Bill Code has MS and has been investigating CCSVI for over a year. Here is his personal story--testing in Buffalo (where he showed 4/5 of the Zamboni criteria), treatment in California and recovery back home in Canada.

Quote:
In short, I believe CCSVI is the “real deal” and is a part of the critical puzzle for the signs and symptoms of MS. Historically, coronary artery bypass grafting and coronary angioplasty were developed for symptomatic relief of chest pain. Why not angioplasty CCSVI for relief of fatigue, headaches, neuropathic pain, sleep disturbance, muscle spasm and balance problems in MS?

Thanks Cheer!
That is quite an article. He hits on so many good points and I thought the information on using an anti-inflamatory diet was very interesting.

I found this sentence to be of greatest interest:

Quote:
In fact, some of us will require a stent in the azygos if the heart muscle impinges on the azygos vein up against the front of the vertebral column.

But wouldn't a stent there then impinge on the heart muscle?

Great perspective. I hope Dr. Code will consider joining Dr. Scalafani's thread for docs.

Glad you liked his writing! I thought it was terrific too. Clear and concise.

Dr. Code is a wonderful gentleman, articulate spokeperson, and has been writing about his MS since he was first diagnosed. He hasn't visitied this site, but I'll encourage him to come over and join the doctors' thread. He's just started Facebooking, and is active thru his website as well. We had a very long phone conversation on the science of CCSVI and the need to get more doctors involved worldwide. His viewpoint will help---
