Paying for CCSVI treatment

I have been reading all the posts about members who have had the surgery and I can't help but by envious. Do all of the people who have had it have insurance that pays for it? That's amazing it it's true. I can't get insurance. I have been in contact with Dr. Dake about a trial but since I don't have a doctor that doesn't look good either.

When Dr. Dake was doing the surgeries, I had turned in all my paperwork for financial assistance but now it's terminated.

I'm not expecting answers, I'm just having a pity party. 16 years is long enough and I feel like I am gonna miss my chance. I should move to a country with health care.

I am still contacting universities and centers to pay attention and hope they will do something, but as you know...no one is listening.

Hi SandyK,
I think you will be lucky with the trial with Dr. Dake. Try to get on a list.

And coming to Poland from the U.S. wouldn't be that expensive, I guess.
~$3200 for the procedure
~$1000 for the flight (if booked early enough)
~$800 for the hotel, food, taxis, etc.

~$5000
