Please correct me if I'm wrong on any of these and I will edit.

Note: There are others who have had testing and procedure, but they have not posted on this forum, nor has anyone posted for them (so I don't know who they are).

So impressive that you've kept all that straight. I'm always in awe of the administrative mind that can do that. Did you intend to "date" everyone on the list or just the most recent? Not sure it matters but thought I'd mention it. Thanks!

At first I wasn't dating. Then, as I started to add the names of those who had scheduled (not had procedure), I started dating. Maybe I should go back and add dates to all.

Randi (7/15/09)

And, not to create more work for you because this already is so great, but want to add numbers so we have a tally? It will be so interesting to know how many people we know have gone.

Thanks!

Looks like we have many more to contribute and arrive at some interesting statistics!

Bump - I added dates

Nice work Maggie! Its great to have this list!

Just added Radeck and CRHInv to the list.

We are still waiting for our appointment. I started this procedure back in June with our neurologist. After a failed MRV (radiology did an MRA instead) in July and contacting Alex in August, we finally talked to Dr. Dake the end of September. I have e-mailed Alex a few times and have not heard back. This is getting frustrating. I think because of my husband's age (60) and he has been had MS for 35 years, they just aren't interested in him as a candidate.

Oh, MaggieMae
I am 66 and Dake treated me.
Be patient - I think they are just overwhelmed. We forget that Dake does other things in addition to working with the MS patients. He is a busy person.
Thanks for keeping the list updated.
