This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

I think you'll find that people with the mildest symptoms seem to get the best results from the procedure.

I started Plavix in May. No side effects at all.

I won't be going off it anytime soon on advice of IR here.

After speaking with my neurologist about these funding grants, I realize that there are many neuros who are also very dissatisfied with the grants and feel that the MS Society may have done more damage with badly chosen research projects

Couldn't agree more

Livabird-Rick Sorry to hear about Jayne. This is not easy for her. My MS has progressed since the procedure in Poland, but I have always been a skeptical believer, so it doesn't surprise me. I am not ready to believe that I have restonosed, or that blood is clotting my stent. I don't see why I shoul...

Just a further note on the above In Canada the MSS put an average $9 for every MS sufferer in the country into CCSVI research, over 2 years. That's $4.50 per year. I know I gave them more than that last year!!!!!! In the States it's just a little over $5 (I sure hope that's not over 2 years, but I f...

Personally, I find the constant reference to 2.4 million dollars for CCSVI research by the MS Society reprehensible and insulting. The MS Society of Canada provided $700,000 - over 2 YEARS, yet they consistently try to convince everyone (quite successfully) that they have invest 2.4 mil. And the MS ...

As far as I know - we have absolutely no idea. Some of us who are "liberated" come to TiMS, many of us don't. You hear bits and pieces of info, but no clear picture exists. That's why there does need to be studies - we really have no idea what's going on. We think (and feel) that this proc...

Mila, that would be a lot easier for you than for me! I would go to Ameds for the checkup... why not? Unless it is prohibitively expensive, which I would doubt. I'm off to my neurologist today - he has no time for CCSVI. He'll be suggesting that I start with cyclophosphamide, something I don't want ...

Hi Mila I too have worsened since i saw you in Katowice. I don't believe that the procedure has anything at all to do with it. I was already declining and that hasn't changed. I'll be back at the end of October - who knows what they'll see. It's not like I can get checked here in Montreal... In the ...

I'm glad all went well. Enjoy Krakow.

No pain. I stayed in the hospital/clinic for the night (didn't sleep)

Then just needed a good night's sleep and I was good to go.

The only thing to watch out for is exerting yourself at the beginning - it seems only common sense not to raise your blood pressure (if you have a stent).

Le Saint Sulpice is perfect. It's not far from the center of the jazz festival (Ste Catherine and Jeanne Mance) Are you mobile and able to do a lot of walking? You are right beside a fabulous museum (archeological) of Montreal called Pointe a Callieres. It's not big and is a quick visit - well worth...

Hahaha! What to do? the whole city has gone crazy starting today. You're coming just as our Jazz Festival starts... Hands down best Jazz Fest in the world. Music in the streets, in the bars, in concert halls. A huge area right downtown is closed off with stages on the street corners. Free music with...

Yves Savoie said that the MSSC is "probably" a house divided. This is a great part of the problem- a reluctance to actually see what is really going on. It most certainly IS a house divided. I have lost all faith in the MSSC due to their handling of the CCSVI issue. As the only real source...
