A problem with this petition is that it appears to say that MS is not an autoimmune disease, but what I've gleaned from this forum is that though the initial cause may be CCSVI in most cases, the reaction of the immune system to the iron passing the BBB and the brain cell damage then takes it into an autoimmune disease phase. So setting ourselves up as being "anti-autoimmune disease" is not what we want to do, IMHO.

He's booking me for tests in March, although no space for procedure until September he says. He said they can't cope with demand!! This is what was said on TiMS earlier on today. Last week he was booked out for Procedure's untill March & when Anna rang Dr Simka in November he asked us "WHEN" did we want to come for the Procedure. WOW Dr M.Simka & his team are very busy.
I've also signed the petition. :D

I think there has been a turn in the tide in the last couple weeks. I think that when I got in touch at the end of November things were still manageable but I have noticed that since then many more people are seeking treatment in Poland. Maybe we got in because we made the intial enquiry before this happened.

Regarding the petition, we could start one for the UK but maybe we should run it past the people who post here before we circulate it.

Edser. It would be good to be able to comment on the article in the Antrim times but I could not find a way. Some of concerns it raises are answered in the thread Cheerleader created called Just the facts ma'am' and would put right some of the misconceptions of the article, unfortunately there is nowhere to post these.

Yes, I have no problem with the idea of a petition, but let's get the wording right. An improperly worded petition could just slow things down, because instead of getting people on our side, we'll confuse them by taking indefensible positions.
