I found a related post in another subform here: http://www.thisisms.com/ftopict-15312.html but it doesn't really address venous pressure

I was treated by Dr. Sclafani in June, and specifically asked him about diving, knowing this trip would be after my treatment. He could think of no contraindications, and I had some great dives. I still feel great (thanks, Dr. Sclafani!).

I bet it would lower the risks of restenosis and thrombosis, and speed up the symptom improvements. You could even hope for more improvements but that would be a tough one to prove, and who would pay for that? _________________ "Try - Just A Little Bit Harder" - Janis Joplin CCSVI procedure Albany Aug 2010 'MS' is over - if you want it Patients sans/without patience
