We have now treated 13 patients and each patient is a learning experience that teaches us something new that adds to our knowledge base. Everyone is unique, but even now patterns are emerging that are quite intriguing to consider. The string we are following leads on…please stay in touch and have an enjoyable weekend.

Ok,

I'm off to eat a late lunch and then go to Columbus to fly out in the morning. So here is where I'll post stuff after the surgery. I'll put all the techy stuff in the appropriate thread, but off I go into the wild blue yonder.....

Venous Collateral Circulation Of The ...

Hello Everyone,

I'd like for my first thread to be a valuable contribution to your wonderful forum.

I have learned much, and my doctors and I (Albany, NY) are scheduling the necessary tests to see if I'm a potential candidate for CCSVI corrective measures.

I hope the JNNP-published eLetters (below) to the editors of JNNP regarding Prof. Zamboni's CCSVI article will make for interesting reading and discussion. I apologize if these have already been posted. ...

I talked with Alex at Dr. Dake's office last week and asked her if I needed to call my insurance (PPO) or what. She said she would check with them and get back with me. Haven't heard yet. Don't know if others insurance is covering the testing and intervention. Can't set up something definite with Stanford until I know about the insurance because if it is not going to cover the 80% looks like we ...

My symptoms started 2.5 years ago, a couple of months after some lymph nodes swelled up in my neck. When the lymph nodes didn't go down, they were removed and biopsied, dx: Mono.

I know a lot of people say their MS was triggered by an infection like mono. (I've not been diagnosed with MS and have not yet seen an MS specialist, but my neuro suspects MS because of my symptoms and positive spinal ...

I don't know if there is a specific way ...

I talked to Island Girl last night she did not have any answers yet and more testing today.

She did NOT have an operable stenosis.

She literally took one for the team guys. She had her MRI MRV and then dopplers. All appeared normal, but Dr D wanted to look with venogram and make sure so she agreed to do that just to make sure nothing was in there beyond the MRV.

There was an ...

I was wondering if you'd be willing to share the MRV CD contents with the community? It might be helpful while we're trying to 'recruit' new doctors if we can share some of the scans with them along with the studies? What does everyone think?


If so, I'd be more than willing to help get the CDs converted to ISOs and show you how to upload them online.

How are you doing?
