Re: Notes from CureIous' at Stanford

Oh my Mark! Thank you for sharing this with us. I get an MRI every six months but that is basically it. I go to my Neuro Friday and I am going to ask him if he can see them on the MRI Scan. Prayers for you! Please keep us posted.

Hi Sandy,

Just to let you know I had migraines along with my MS and it was unbearable somedays. The CCSVI treatment has made a huge change in my headaches. I still have headaches but not full dead on migraines and my life is much better since CCSVI.

Take care,

Jimmylegs,

I am so sad to hear about your work situation. As smart as you are will find something. I remember being told I was over qualified for jobs. It is tough, you think they would want someone with experience!

You are in my prayers!

Rose, I understand how you feel. If I did not have this full time job that I need badly, I would be finding a way to travel and talk CCSVI. I live in a very small town and it's like GREEK to those who don't know what it is. They just look at me like I am nuts. I don't even know how a person would st...
