I live in the town right next to Poughkeepsie! Who would have thought!

It looks like New York is becomming the Liberation capital of the world.
Sadly Michigan is not.

A line from the University of Michigan fight song goes;
"Hail! Hail! to Michigan the leaders and the best."

With regard to CCSVI we might have to change that to;
"The followers of the rest"

The rest of the BigTen has multiple versions of your fight song David ... maybe you'd enjoy them more as it relates to CCSVI ... though I don't think the school and state of CCSVI are intertwined.

Sorry, just expressing my frustration with the lack of treatment in Michigan.

BTW I did contact U of M's medical school and asked if they were studying CCSVI and if they would treat me for it. Their answer was a flat no! Maybe that was more like "no way!!!"

Can we add an exception verse for Dr. Haacke? He's in Michigan, he's doing all right by CCSVIers.

Most assuredly Dr. Haacke is doing great research. He's one of my heros. The problem is that in the state of Michigan treatment is not being done.

I know some folks know what the Novi, MI, address is, from the registry map!

I have the Novi address too but it doesn't help until they open their doors for business. Also I talked to them several months ago before they were involved with Hubbard. At that time they said they were thinking about doing the examination only and not the procedure. So it's possible that their balloon might turn green instead of red. Hopefully they'll do both though.

Ah, you are better informed than I am.

I hope treatment comes to MI soon. When it came to MN, I was caught off-guard, I'd thought it would take longer.

David and all Michiganders-

My daughter wants to fire her neurologist. He's that loveable anti-ccsvi guy from Wayne State. Any recommendations for a Michigan neuro?

PM me if you have a recommendation.

Brian - my neuro did the typical office exams (not MRI) and was impressed that I had improved since a year ago. He then asked me what I was doing differently. At that point, I told him about my angio for CCSVI. He had "heard of it but really doesn't know much". By the end of my visit he asked me if I would mind if he gave out my name & phone # to another patient!! I wasn't too impressed with this neuro prior to now. The bad news?...he's in Marquette.

Sorry but I haven't seen a neuro for over 7 years.
