This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Community: Knowledge & Support

Hey everyone,

Since I first heard about CCSVI, "It just made sense".

I'm not one to just jump at every little get well quick scheme, but I am already viewing my illness differently. When my legs start to tingle, it's hard not to wonder if it's nerves, or blood circulation issues.

Anyways, I can't hardly wait for these clinical trials to do their thing.

I am in Texas, and there doesn't seem to be much action going on here. UT Southwest has a top of the line research team though.

I just HAD to do a little research on my own to see what kind of research they were doing, and were interested in.

I came across a few research doctors that should be interested in CCSVI. Whether they conduct clinical trials of their own, or just follow along, and learn the procedure, they need to know so they can be prepared ASAP.

Hope this info. helps for others in and around Texas!
