I agree. I don’t see anything upsetting either. My posts were not written with anger at all. I simply assumed that we were having a conversation amongst adults. Anyway, I’ve moved on, as I don’t sweat the small stuff.

Your warning is noted. Thanks.

How do we get in contact with Dr. Simka? It seems everyone but me has been in touch with him. Would someone print his email for me so I can stop this fruitless search, please.

Thank you.

You're welcome. Good luck!

Are you scheduled to have the whole procedure? If so, how did you get scheduled? What did you do to get in touch with Stanford?

Looking forward to your reply.

Ok, I have been misunderstood once again (except by Bob: I am not a Walter Mathau fan, although I do like Jack Lemmon). Anyhow, I am going to stop here, and let the subject lie.

Hi WhyR,

You haven't been misunderstood and I for one, respect your common sense approach on this board. I wouldn't be too concerned about our Canadian friend - she clearly has a few issues. Sniping at others will distract her from the main game, which should be to get CCSVI testing and treatment ASAP.

Also, don't take Bob too seriously - at least you know where he stands and he's always good for a laugh!

Yes, you think, Bob......I think.

Not Matthau or Lemmon, though. I see you more of an American, Sir Les Patterson - here...............

Hello MSers
Happy New Year.
Is e-mail the best way of contacting Dr Simka?

would you folks please post the update contact info for Dr Simka and cost for the procedure (sorry if you have done this before but I couldn't find it by search)
I just have an e-mail address for him which my e-mails get bounced back

Thanks in advance,
brave

hi Brave,

Dr. Simka's email address is
mariansimka@poczta.onet.pl

As far as I can remember from reading somewhere on here, the cost is between 2,500 and 4,500 Euros, depending on if, and how many, stents are needed (stents c.1000 each).

Good luck and happy new year to you.

ps. Dr. Simka can take 2 weeks or more to reply so you need patience too!

Hi Brave

this is what i received from Dr.Simka,hope this helps

Hello,
You are in the waiting list for "the liberation operation". The estimated time of the procedure is March 2010.
We will do our best to make the treatment possible earlier, but actually we receive more requests than we can manage in a proper time. I will inform you about exact time of the examinations and potential operation in 1-2 weeks.
Best regards
