What happened to this forum???

These forums USE TO be a great place to see what was going on in the world of ccsvi. Now its completely filled with childish bickering. Each and every thread I look at seems to end up the same way. I think some serious moderation is in need. Facebook has become a much much better place to avoid all ...

Theres billions of dollars at stake with the MS drugs. Much less then that amount of money brings out the worst in people. All i can say is that if the companies felt at risk to lose this source of income. They will do anything in their power to stop it. What scares me is the amount of power billion...

When I first started injecting I would flush for about 5-10 mins after the injection. My face would go beat red and I would be sweating. This went away after a month or so. I would recommend not using the auto injector. I was on rebif for 2 years prior to copaxone and I got used to injecting manuall...

The ms society is not in our general interest. First off how many members of their board have a direct link with ms? such as family members. How many are members on pharmaceutical company boards? There is a definite conflict of interest there. They are looking for a drug that will help everyone. Not...

Re: New Wheelchair Kamikaze Post on the Current State of CCS

Just posted to my blog late last night. This post may cause some angst, as it's not blindly pro-CCSVI, but it's my honest assessment of where we've been, where we are now, and the best way to move forward with Dr. Zamboni's theory. http://www.wheelchairkamikaze.com/2010/06/some-thoughts-on-current-...

Why is this terrible news? Others have had relapses and have gotten worse after the procedure. But seriously all have had some benefit. Maybe they had a re-stenosis. Maybe more veins are involved. Maybe we need to be on drugs for life. Who knows, but to lose faith because one person got slightly wor...
