This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

msscooter,
I was thinking the same thing last night. What postures are good and not good for me in relation to venous return from my brain and spinal cord.
Kind regards,

Hi just got a phone call from Albany Community Care. They have opened up some dates in Dec. I originally got my first call back on June 3. I am Canadian. I could have gotten an appointment on December 17 but I have decided to wait until February. They will be calling me back when they have the Febru...

I am on the list for the Sisken, Mandato, Englander clinic. Could part of the problem be that some people are signed up for the Mehta clinic?

I am Canadian and I received my first phone call back from Dr. Sisken's Albany clinic on June 3, 2010. I am on the waiting list but I have not yet received another phone call with an appointment date.

Thersa, If the only days you can't go to Albany are Dec. 7-8, then you can be pretty that's when your appointment will be. That's the way these things go. I'm just kidding.

The research doctor told me that nothing could be done to treat that problem at this time. I am assuming ...

Dr. Sclafani, As many others with MS, I am extremely grateful for all your hard work and effort you have and you continue to put forth to study CCSVI and help those of us with MS. I have been fortunate to be a participant in one of the diagnostic CCSVI/MS studies at the Buffalo Neuroimaging Analysis...

Thank you Erica, Lucky Girl, I have emailed him. I hope that it does not take too long to hear back as his popularity is now well known and he is now incredibly busy. Probably still faster to see him than the waiting period in Canada with the research (2 to 4 years I've heard)and then the waiting li...

Hi from Canada,
I am interested in seeing Dr. Simka and Dr. Ludgya in Poland. What is the best way to contact them? Thank you for the info.
