Patients Must Demand Tests

I get pretty exasperated when I read that patients are allowing surgeons/IRs to undertake balloon venoplasty or stenting without having a full discussion of their cardio-vascular family history and knowing that a blood screen has been performed before de-stenosis is performed.
Human beings are different so there is no one post procedure drug regime that should be given, they should be tailored. PwMS seem to have unusual CV/blood profiles than the general population. You (the patients with MS) must take responsibility for asking questions.
Read CCSVI Alliance and other info before walking blindly into de-stenosis.
