I am back home following venogram and bilateral balloon dilatation of the jugular veins at 2 pm.
I feel well, my back is less stiff, my movements are quicker and my right leg feels already more powerful.
I am not on any blood thinners.
The procedure was carried out at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast by the radiologist Dr Anton Collins while I was under the care of the vascular surgeon Mr Robin Baker.
All the team were extremely excited and believe in Zamboni's theory.
I sincerely hope that today represented a breakthrough and that many patients will benefit in Northern Ireland. The ice has been broken: I look forward to a bright future for MS sufferers.
Thank you all for the good wishes,
GiCi

Oh my goodness! This is FANTASTIC news. I hope that this procedure continue to benefit you and you recover well. Do you think other UK patients would be able to contact these doctors? Was the procedure on the NHS?!
best wishes for your speedy recovery
