I’ve received an email from Dr. Simka today. He confirmed that I’m on the waiting list for October 2010.
This calls for a celebration.

Oh it is so good to hear that people are still able to go to Poland even if they have to wait 10 months for the intervention.
Congrats.

This wouldn’t have happened if not for you. Thanks for the help and friendly push.

That is great Guest. Something to look forward to. Maybe you will feel so good to swing over to Bavaria for Oktoberfest.

I just received my email from Dr. Simka! I'm on the list for January 2011. That's a long way off but having never been to a foreign country before it gives me time to get a passport and learn some Polish!
I can't stop smiling and weeping. I feel like pressure has just been released from my head.

Anything is possible. Even though I’m a light drinker, I sure appreciate a good quality beer.

You read my mind.

I’m so happy for you. There is light at the end of the tunnel after all. Welcome in the club.

I too have emailed Dr. Simka and am waiting for a reply.
Fiddler, I am also in Canada - Montreal. I was **disappointed** in the response by the Montreal Neurological Institute to CCSVI and do not expect any assistance from the MS health practitioner community whatsoever.

SandyK,
That is very good news, and I am very glad for you. There is more light after these darkest of days.
Alica,
You can always hit the south of France for the Vendange. Red wine interferes with iron absorption, you know... (I was so pleased to learn that! And coffee too!) A nice bottle of Macon would do the trick for a celebration.

Jaguar, not sure if you have been trying St. Mary's in Montreal, but this may be a good lead for you. Read the entire page, there is a Dr there that is interested in CCSVI and apparently willing to look into it.

His name and phone number are in the link.

Congratulations everyone! I just emailed him a few weeks ago and still waiting to hear back. I guess I would be sometime in 2011 if I hear back.

Congratulations to everyone who has joined the club... guess we all have a lot more hope going into a new year.
Jaguar and others, regarding the information about St. Mary's hospital, there is more information in a later posting of mine:
http://my-darn-ms.blogspot.com/2009/12/ ... aging.html. In summary, I found out that the CCSVI testing is going to be done in a private clinic, not at St. Mary's. I'm waiting for them to get the MRV going before I find out more so as to decide whether I want to risk the time and money going there to test for CCSVI. I can see one situation where what I could find out there might change my plans: if my veins are occluded by bone growth, it is possible that the people in Poland will not be able to help me.
