This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Last year in the Spring of 2010 my daughter had no MS symptoms. In fact last May she went on a cruise with her girlfriends and had a ball. She danced, swam and "partyed" hard I am sure.

In June she was stricken with MS Symptoms. They came , and for the most part there was no "attack", they came and stayed.

In July she sought physician's care and by August she had been diagnosed with MS. She had displayed 12 symptoms by then . Had brain and a spinal lesion and had a positive Lumbar puncture. In August she had MS.

In Sept she got a venogram , had CCSVI diagnosed and had 2 vessels angioplastied. The bulk of her symptoms left within a day. Some lingered and waned over the next 3 months.

Last May 2010 she could have been a healthy control.

Great point!

What's ' healthy ' when you're in the controlgroup and have narrowings of your IJV's and/or AZY.

Maybe/probably your in for one of the ccsvi related deseases. MS is one of the options.

Last may, did she have laesios in her brain and spinal cord? Did she have negative results from lumbar punctrure? Did she have negative neurological results? As for MS, just because someone has no symptoms at a certain point of time it does not mean that she/he is healthy and has no MS.

That's my point. IN MAY she was a healthy control candidate.

She didn't have symptoms until June. In July she went to the Drs. In August she had 3 lesions ( 2 brain and 1 spinal) and tested positive for Oligoclonal bodies.

In Sept she had CCSVI venogram and a completely occluded Azygos and a partially blocked L IJV.
