"all of the above" is now 57%

How did that happen??

In some cases they have also found that some participants who were contacted to go into the next phase of scanning informed the investigators that they had gotten the venoplasty procedure, which made them ineligible to continue in the study.

I guess some people couldn't wait......

My wife stopped taking DMD's years ago, she tried both Beta-seron and copaxone, and neither one did anything for her. She had the procedure on Feb 23, 2011, and just had a follow up ultrasound yesterday, everything is still wide open and flowing. She is getting stronger and stronger...and is up to w...

He uses your symptoms as indicating veinous compression....

The Dr my wife used doesn't suggest ultrasound or MRV....he said that if we wanted them he would order the tests, but for CCSVI diagnosis, considered them a waste of time & money

Dr. Cumming, glad to see you here on TIMS today! I've been meaning to ask in your thread if you've given up lovenox entirely for plavix instead? Is this due to what you'd been saying after ISET, that there wasn't much consensus on what anticoagulation if any? I'm interested in this as well....my wi...

Back on topic.....Zanne why don't you just have a bunch of T-shirts printed up for you and your friends to wear with something like

"Ask Me About CCSVI"


Then have some informational brochures with you to hand to anybody that asks

My wife had her procedure on Wednesday....left Jugular was 70% blocked, right jugular 50% and the azygos 40% The azygos was the hardest to open, the Dr had to go to a 16mm balloon anyway, she is on 60mg of lovenox twice a day, and will be for 5 more days and it seems to wear her out... has anybody b...

I know of two doctors, when using Plavix, who start the Plavix 5 - 7 days ahead of the procedure. Seems smart to me. There was a video on the link? It didn't show up for me. :oops: My wife's Dr is one of them..plavix for 5 days before, (not the day of) and 6 weeks after lovenox the day of and for 7...

By the way, I believe at least one physician does *not* shave. The patient, I mean.

Best wishes to you both.

yes we do, and I shaved when I had my vasectomy.......I'm to manly to get waxed

My wife is having her procedure tomorrow, and wants to know if she should go get a bikini wax today to make the nurses job easier

Thanks

this study used rats, and lasted one week, I wonder what the results would be if the study went on for say 3-4 months
