STENOSIS PROCEDURE HISTORY
Date/location of testing/procedure:
August 31, 2010 Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
Type of venographic study: (MRV, Doppler)
Doppler
Diagnosis: 2 Disfunctional Jugular Valves
Type of procedure: 20mm Balloon Angioplasty that was also "pulled" a bit
Procedure/drug related symptoms: Stiff, sore and tired after, neck slightly swollen
[Repeat this section if there have been more than one procedure]
Number of relapses since first CCSVI intervention:0
Impact on your MS symptoms in words (include date in brackets if there have been multiple updates):
Less Headaches, More Stamina, Better balance, Better Visual Clarity and Mental Clarity. There are up and downs as I can feel my body still changing. The other day I ran down the stairs in my house without holding on to the handrails. I could not have done that before the procedure. I have also noticed if I stay up late I don't get a hangover type feeling the next day just regular tiredness.
EDSS as of this update (self-assessed or physician-assessed?) it's hard to tell I have good days and bad days and it has only been a little over a month since my procedure.
FSS as of this update: similar but it comes and goes, probably a little better
MSIS as of this update: similar but it comes and goes, probably a little better
