Hello is there any furtgher updates on this?
Yes, here: http://www.thisisms.com/ftopic-8526-0.html
His name is Rici, I think he is over 50, I think but I am really not sure he is SPMS, he had his first Doppler about 10 days after me so it was in August 2009 - he also has one problem with his right jugular - it is too wide - he will have to maybe have open surgery but so far nobody in the world made valvuloplasty in jugular.
You can see Rici alsohere:
Part 1:
Part 2:
He is the gentleman in T-shirt. His stent in left jugularis OK.

Hi, I had the same ptoblem , then I got this.
Dear Sirs.
We are informing that you have entered our waiting list for 2011 and took your place in our program. Doctors’ schedule is fully booked for 2010.
We are also kindly asking for your patience – please do not send neither follow-up messages nor any messages to doctors because all of them are sent back to our mailbox. We will contact you in due time.
The more messages we receive the longer is the process of registration!
Thank you very much for your understanding.
Kind regards,

I got the same mail today after a 2-3 weeks wait. Just glad to be acknowledged and on the list to be honest. 2011 is better than the gazillion years it would take for the UK to research and react

I just want to thank everyone for sharing their experiences and valuable insights. Your support means everything!
I'm not well enough (unfortunately) to type with 1 finger, so I can't post as often as I'd like.
I have an appointment July 20 in Bulgaria. I'm excited and scared at the same time. I'll be sure to post here all about it.
Best wishes to everyone,
SofiaK
well done

Hello, I am writing on behalf of my mom is suffering from MS for many years. I would like to know what steps we would need to go through in order to be put on the waiting list for the cssvi liberation treatment. If anyone can help provide some information that would be greatly appreciated. I don't know where to start in our search to provide her with some relief.
I look forward to hearing back. Thank you all so kindly.
Sincerely,

Brandon, there are several treatment centers around the world going full speed.
And AMEDS in Poland (Warsaw) which is relatively new. Think heard they said to start May/June 2010 with program, so the waiting list should be shorter than Simka team in Katowice (where heads to 2017 now!): http://www.ameds.pl/

Hello, I'm Katy, new to this thread. Wannabe, you just mentioned Costa Rica having a CCSVI treatment program. Do you have more information on it?

We need people whom have been liberated to start posting their verified EDSS before and after liberation which would help demonstrate the benefits to the medical community that treating CCSVI with balloon dilation is a safe and effective treatment to be considered in treating patients with MS.
