I'm so very happy for you!!!!!! Welcome to liberation!!!!!

Great news , thanks for posting!

Congratulations!!! I'm so happy for you!

More and more great stories out there. How bad was you pre op in the EDSS scale?

Shouldn't this kind of info be considered authentic when judging the validity of a treatment? What IS wrong with the medical community? What is wrong with using these stories of success as just as important as the unethical "double blind study" where people are LIED TO. Whether they know it or not. The Placebo group is desperate enough to try anything. Is this tempting of patients with even the possibility of improvement- unethical? Please don't preach caring for the safety of clients as paramount in research when these same people deliberately lie...I need an explanation for this behavior.
But the dismissal of success is explained away as a placebo effect.
A very small % of placebo groups are really effected according to research: "placebo effect does occur with peripheral disease processes (such as Hypertension, asthma, prostatic hyperplasia, anal fissure, bronchitis) though not for processes reflecting physical disease (such as venous leg ulcers, Crohn’s disease, urinary tract infection, and chronic heart failure).[94] Placebos also do not work as strongly in clinical trials because the subjects do not know whether they might be getting a real treatment or a sham one."
Let's stop this nonsense and admit that someone who thinks our of the box has hit on a plausible explanation that's been experienced by so many disabled persons.

Not agreeing nor disagreeing but through history research was led by first hand anecdotal data, which they eventually, purposely got away from because, unfiltered, it led research astray.

To clarify, you're now saying the logical, the right thing to do is heed the anecdotal information from people on the internet who realistically might have 10 "thisisms" monikers, all of them finding fantastic results with balloon dilation?

There is no doubt in my mind either that it works. Non at all. Even if I had a little rough week most probably from over doing it, made my old symptoms flair up, or maybe it was a new attack. Who knows sertainly not me, and sertainly not my neuro.

For me it has been a month and half, and it is the best month and half I had in more then a year. The last couple of months before liberation I was deteriorating pretty quickly. I just got weaker and weaker, not like acute attacks but just getting worse. The last month I have been getting stronger and stronger.

Me and my boyfriend speak about it quite a bit, discussing if it is placebo, nonsebo, remission,or whatever it is going on wiht me, to us there is no doubt it is liberation.

I have found out, I am not cured, I still have my limits, its just all about getting used to my new life. I will provoke my MS, if I do not take it steady. But the change is so remarkable. It is a new life.

As for the money, it is easy for me to say it is nothing as I did not pay it myself, but had it given from my parants. But yes it has defently been worth it

What time of Ms do you have sofia? My hubby is also getting weaker and weaker..he has RPMS or PRMS as Dr Sclafani pointed out to me. Politely:-)

Were they sudden or gradual improvements?

Hello Daisy

I was diagnosed with rrms in 2002. I've had a few relapses, but more or less full recovery after each relaps, and no fatigue to speal of.
But spring 2009 I got a vertigo relaps that just didn't clear up, I also stared feeling fatigued, and generally weaker all the time.

Neurologist did edss score on me be procedure and gave med 0.0, but my quality of life was shite. My eyesight was not right, but I did not have reduced vision or double vision. But it was not right. Vertigo could make me throw up, feeling constantly unwell, but it did not make me fall. Legs were weak, but I could walk far. And completly nocked out by fatigue and vertigo, feeling sick.

It was a side of ms that I had nevered experienced before, one that I didn't know exsisted. But yes maybe it felt a bit like progression with relapses. I had not been given diagnosis spms, but I think I was heading that way.

RPMS is something we don't hear about that much. How is your husban doing, how is his disease developing? Will he be having procedure, can he have medication or is that not for him?

I hope you continue to feel better:-)
Were going to try Copaxone and also look at CCSVI in Scotland.
It's a frightening disease as you have no idea what a new day will bring.
Having a rare form of it means the doctors are usually pretty stumped too. That's what were going through..I hope CCSVI does something good for him, but as it's not so good for PPMS then I wonder how good it will be for us? I am really hoping it works...

I feel sad when I read that ccsvi treatment is not good for ppms.... The promise or unproven hope of ccsvi treatment for ppms is that progression will stop. So PPMSers may not see the recovery that some of the other groups (who experience recovery in their MS in general, back and forth) do. PPMSers may not get to film youtube videos showing them jumping. But if PPMSers get to have their progression stopped, right where they are...that is huge, that is something we have never had before as an outcome for a treatment for MS.

Still there have been some reports of PPMSers who did show improvements...all is not yet known, but it is good to go into this with reasonable expectations...and I personally hope that the results beat those expectations, for all of us.

Sorry Cece,

Did not mean to make you sad..guess it's my own fears of how much this CCSVI will help us or not. We have no idea if there is any stenosis in the first place and were waiting for an appointment.
Truth is we won't know much until we have more info from the research being done..and you are right, if it stops progression then that it in itself will be a gift from god.
