This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Hi, i am after one liberation, still no restenosis (and i did the procedure more than a year ago!), but...i got a relapse, and from yesterday till friday i am on steroids... And? What you say? Hi ann, I'd say CCSVI plays overall a big part of a preventative role but there are unfortunately still ot...

Wow great list thanks Ik. ! Would you know if these trials accept also non-US citizens?

Thanks a lot Ik. that's very helpful to know. See you also did CCSVI - me as well. Did your old symptoms really come back after that or just did not have any effect in your case? Know I'm not in the right forum to ask that question...but saw it below in your footnote...I feel much less tired (as reg...

Thanks a lot Packo for informing us based on the procedure you had in Hadassah. The Hadassah clinic yesterday informed me as follows: "Thank you for contacting Hadassah University Hospital center, Jerusalem, Israel....Regarding Multiple Sclerosis treatment - at the moment a stem cell therapy is...

I don't have an EDSS score. I've not yet settled on a primary care physician. The infusion was in Athens, because Dr. Slavin & his team aren't allowed to administer the infusion in Israel at the moment. It's a political thing. Dr. Slavin's clinic is in Tel Aviv, and he & his team do the bon...

I have contacted the clinic of Prof Shimon Slavin for first information on the non-myeloablative haemopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) method for patients with Multiple Sclerosis. (Website: http://www.CTCIcenter.com) The seems standard answer I received by e-mail was either to take an appoin...

Hi George
Congrats for your improvements This treatment sounds very interesting.
Does the Univ hospital in Heidelberg offer it to MS patients on a general private basis or were you included in a clinical trial? (sorry if your blog might reveal that and I did not see it yet).

Thanks, Steffi

Just also read today an interesting article on that site on a new patent for generating embrionic stem cells without embryo destruction

Let me ask you another question then... For those who had thrombosis, were you prescribed with anticoagulants after the first intervention (when the stent was placed)? Or does thrombosis occur even when you're on anticoagulants? Spiff Unfortunately in the cases I heard of it even happened with anti...

Absolutely agree, their strategy is delay delay delay...

Hi Cece nice to hear from you :D. Right, integration earlier but do not know precisely timing for risk of thrombosis. Mentioned this 6 months figure since know Dr Beelen in Belgium in some cases of patients with thrombosis and stent reliberation has prescribed blood thinners for 6 months-1 year. Usu...

obviously the pharma will like to present that study isolated though. As they will enjoy presenting the study results financed by the Italian MS association (and from which Zamboni - at first envisaged to join the scientific committee - dropped out due to wrong measurement parameters). The sad story...

Know two friends with stent that got thrombosis. Even after intervention to liberate the stent again, thrombosis again :( blood thinners for 6 months until the stent is integrated seem to be crucial in these cases. The biodegradable stents that dissolve after 1 year seem to be maybe a good solution ...

Hi Ted ! That's wonderful news and so nice to hear from you again!

Same for me for the fatigue aspect (after 6 months) and can only share what you say about quality of life. And about CCSVI-tracking.com: seems then that we are joining forces on the fatigue and quality of life curve there
