(see rough sketch further down)
I'm confused, thus the sketch is very half baked, but i find simple pictorials most clarifying. I welcome anyone capable of correcting it, if they'd do it in the form of a pic.

Maybe:

(1) one group (labelled MS) has CCSVI

(2) another group labelled either MS or FMS have both CCSVI & PAD

(3) another group labelled FMS, and/or geriatric, and/or stressed lives have PAD

(4) another group labelled ...

I came across these 2 posts.
1) I think I just uncovered a big piece of my health puzzle. I have a completely undeveloped right transverse sinus, meaning it doesn't really exist.
2) I found out via the process that I am a venal anomaly. My right IJV has a loop in it and is forked and one of the forks runs across the front of my neck adjoining to the other side! Dr. was ...

Another sad new. Here is the link

Isn't silicone more human-friendly than metal?
So, since I myself probably have atherosclerotic (plaque) causing peripheral arterial disease...
(here's a demo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhwX5zO17qk

i got to thinking:

• on the one hand, there's the metal scaffolding, which seems like it might be painful.
• on the other hand, there's these floppy balloons of angioplasty, which are then removed.

So there's no such thing as firm, silicone scaffold-stents, such as the silicone of ...

She has passed away after a battle with both breast cancer and MS.
Back in 2010 or 2011, she'd been treated for CCSVI. There was a video where she talked about it. I can try to find it. She also attended the 2011 CCSVI symposium put on by Dr. Sclafani in NYC.
Condolences to her family. :(

It is already over, but it seems that they have given a name to their proposal: CCS = Cranio-Cervical syndrome

Maybe there will be some more symposiums in the years to come.

New article from Zivadinov which relates CCSVI and CSF flow.

Changes of Cine Cerebrospinal Fluid Dynamics in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis Treated with Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty: Case-control Study.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23523158


Abstract
PURPOSE:
To investigate characteristics of cine phase contrast-calculated cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow and velocity measures in patients with relapsing-remitting (RR) multiple sclerosis (MS) receiving standard medical treatment who had been diagnosed with chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI) and underwent ...

OK, I don't have MS, but I do have long-standing Fibromyalgia, and I was wondering if anyone has ever discussed venous insufficiency of other areas of the body for people who have pain?

Even IF that pain doesn't have a boxed-in Name such as Algia or Osis or Itis... :?

Would these same doctors also test for stenosis of anyone complaining of serious issues, and insert stents? ...
