Pre-diagnosis x20 years: Dx'd with hypochondria "you're just hyperventilating" -- 2 different docs told me that's why I had numbness and tingling First major relapse, so weak I could not lift a fork, neuro told my husband, "Your wife just needs to get back on her horse." Mother-i...

Well this oughta start a debate... now what? 1. It appears the vein is not wanting to stay open, too small. 2. Re-opening via balloon only leads to more scarring and worse narrowing. 3. Every time you go back in it's further trauma to veins. 4. I vote covered stent. Yes, it has issues of its own, in...

Oh I'd say you have sailed thru quite a few storms, Ted! Congrats on the good report for your 3-month mark and here's to even smoother sailing in the months ahead!

Trish what a sweet thing to say! Thanks! :) Anyway... it's been almost a month so here's an update.

I then thought about something: Why is it that while I had the identical venous problems 10 years ago, I could more or less walk normally then and I can't now? I had the exact same stenosis in the exact same location. What is different? Donnchadh, out of curiosity, how do you know for sure what you...

I realise that the 'group think' on the chatroom is that all MS drugs are the work of big bad pharma whose only purpose is to make money from poor sick pwMS. Hey Mark, I still think you made some valid points in your overall post (pardon the above quote taken out of context), but one thing that has...
