Re: CCSVI without MS diagnosis?

I am going to Synergy and will have the Hackke MRI/MRV (my choice) before my procedure. It is pricey but like I said, Doppler is just ok. I have had some of those done too. A venogram obviously is good.

Re: CCSVI without MS diagnosis?

Doppler is ok but not great for dx CCSVI. Venogram or MRI/MRV is gold standard. Doppler is very operator dependent and can't see the Azygos.

Rebif sides after two years

Does anyone still experience flu side effects after being on Rebif for a long time? I started on Avonex and the flu sides were awful at first but they got better over time. After two years on Rebif I still get the flu sides but keep taking it because it's apparently working (MRI was ok this time)

I was on Avonex for a year and in that time had two relapses and 4 new lesions on my MRI so my neuro said not strong enough for me. I have been on Rebif for 2 years and still have two relapses a year but MRI was a bit better on it. Thanks for asking and hope to talk again, take care!!

My name is Lauri and I was diagnosed with MS in 2004. I started on Avonex and loved it but unfortunately had to switch to Rebif. I have gone on disability in the last year.
