I did the aspirin thing last year when I was heavily fatigued and sleeping heaps during the daytime. It worked quite well for a few weeks, I was taking 2 x 500mg per day. Then I started to have stomach problems from it, like I had an ulcer sort of feeling, so I stopped. I still take an aspirin now ...

Hi Alby Your question is on my mind as well....while my improvements were minimal at best, its hard to tell if there has been restenosis, and I am debating returning to Poland after 6 months for a followup...there is discussion of the issue in Parliamentary committee here, and it may be better to s...

One of my FB friend's wife had restenosis as she was one of the first 20 patients done in Poland. She was good for 3 months then had restenosis. Her husband wanted to check out Bulgaria. There they found way more than the original stenosis and she is doing very well. Val i am thinking of doing some...

I have the feeling that my ballooned jugulars are renarrowing again!!!! :cry: :cry: :cry: I was in Poland in febtuary and all went good :D :D :D , but ...

Alby, I had my procedure done at Euromedic with Simka and Ludyga team in Katowice. Dr K. is working separately at the hospital in Tychy. As far as I know he doesnt have his own clinic. He is performing liberation tratments after his normal duties at the public hospital. So at Euromedic I got discha...

Hello AMcG, On my discharge paper it says SMART sent only. I checked on the internet and SMART makes both type of stents. I email Dr. K 2 weeks ago but he did not answer yet... Since you were there at the same time as me I assume we have the same type, which is ??? There is only a Plavix dosage on ...

thank you all for the info, now i feel better. Alby, I am just wondering, Didnt you get your stent certificate? I got something like this, where it says what kind of stent is it and all the details and I am supposed to wear it on me all the time, just in case something happens like and acctident or...

I had heard someone say on TIMS that Euromedic used cobalt in which case six weeks would be right. But I suppose they could have changed. You really need to find out which you have. AmcG, Euromedic uses Nitinol stents which is an alloy of nickel and titanium so I guess it classifies as bare metal s...

:lol: You are put on blood thinners a few days before the procedure, then if you have a stent you are on them for life, you also have to inject yourself for 14 days after, this is not as bad as it sounds as you get used to it very quickly. lol Alan i have a stent in my azygos vein, and dr. ludyka t...

Mutley you are absolutely right. MS, brain & spine legions have become the focal point :roll: I am sorrry to hear about your current condition. hope you get better. and when you are there, you might ask for a full body MRV and see what they say, theyll probably be more open about it than here. :...
