bump!

I thought I would just bump this list up. Many of the newbies will never recognize some of these names. This is a list of those who were tested and/or treated at Stanford, except for a few at the end of the list who I don't think ever made it to Stanford because things came to a hault.

Wish we would hear some updates from this Stanford group who haven't updated in awhile. It was good to hear from Jamie recently about how Mel is feeling. If anyone is lurking, let us know (good and bad) how you are doing.

Catfreak,

I love your avatar! Did you make it? Really captures the true essence of "catness" lol

Hi Donnchadh,

I was just hunting for a cool avatar and found this one. It looks just like my cat Amber. I don't remember where I got it now.

9/3/09 Stanford - Dr Dake - Stent in R-J to unblock Arachnoid Cyst in Sigmoid Sinus. Stent in narrowed L-J. Balloon in narrowing where R & L Jugulars meet.

It's a smaller list than what it seemed reading back through old posts.

Maggie Mae,
I am one of the Stanford Stenters. Had the stents and angioplasty Oct 2009.
I am doing amazingly well. I do not have MS anymore.
I do not have any of the MS problems I had for 10 years.
No fatigue, heat sens, Cog Fog, muscle weakness, vision problems, stamina issues, muscle cramps, NO PAIN, etc.
NO pills. I take one baby aspirin once a day and Kapidex for my hiatal hernia.
I am active, non stop. I never have to sit down. EVER. I never have to look around for a place to plop my failing body.
I am better everyday as I continue to regain all the strength I lost doing nothing for 10 years. and now I know I had MS for years before the diagnosis, because I never felt THIS GOOD.
I am praying for everyone who wants this screening and indicated treatment to have it available.
I feel guilty for being able to have had it done and then it is so hard for everyone else. BUT, I want to be a vocal proponent.
Let me know if you have any questions. Sincerely, Rose

Thanks for posting Rose2. So great to hear of your improvements-- very encouraging!

Rose2... Thanks for giving us more hope !!

Fantastic!!!

Dr. Dake called me on October 30 2009. And I've heard nothing since. I want to be you Rose2!

I started this list over three years ago when the first patients were seen at Stanford. I thought about it the other day. Wondering how many (from this list) still read this forum and how they are doing today.

So for easy reference, can we refer to this group as "The Stanford 41" ?

Who us?

Working, doing great, so many piles of stuff to do I had to actually start making LISTS. Oh the tragedy...

Never been better. Up at 4 am, get home 6:30 to 7. Last hour's as good as the first.

Proof's in the pudding as they say...
