This is MS really should have a separate thread or survey where people with MS can report which type of vaccine they get and how it has affected them. Thanks for reporting on your vaccine experience.
How are you feeling now? I hope your symptoms are improving.

Re: Cortical Grey Matter Hypoxia in MS
Wow, THAT's an interesting study, isn't it? I have had only one brain MRI that measured my brain perfusion. The results of the MRI said I had reduced brain perfusion, but the comments did not quantify HOW reduced, what percentage less than normal was I? I found that frustrating and also to me at the...

New study: Cerebral hemodynamics in patients with multiple sclerosis
Here is a study published online on June 17, 2020 that was conducted by Italian scientists. If someone else has already posted this study, I apologize for the repetition. It seemed like it might be relevant to CCSVI. I've copied the Highlights section below, but you can read the full study at: https...

Article on CCSVI in Veins and Lymphatics 2020; Volume 9:9053
Here is a link to a new article in Veins and Lymphatics 2020; Volume 9:9053. If someone else has already posted this, my apologies. I couldn't find any reference to it in my brief search of ThisIsMS CCSVI posts from this year. It discusses a re-analysis of the Brave Dreams trial, finding improved ou...

Re: Vascular malformations masquerading as demyelinating disease. May be the explanation?
Wow, I'd sure like to read that study, but its behind a paywall. It does list the highlights of the study which include: Highlights • AVMs/dAVFs can mimic demyelinating disease like NMO, ADEM, or transverse myelitis. • Symptoms of vascular malformation can be worsened if treated with steroids. • In ...

Hi Frodo, This seems like an excellent study that Joan should know about if she hasn't already seen it. I don't see a link to the study though. Can you post one? Thanks!

Re: Bosentan and chemical CCSVI
Thanks Frodo, Another good clue to MS. A long time ago I had an MRI that said my brain had reduced oxygen. I was amazed the doctor didn't seem to want to try to fix that. Reduced oxygen makes so much sense. I feel groggy all the time. And even though I used to be very smart, I feel like I'm trying t...

Re: vascular problems in the MS eyes
Interesting study! 5 out of 7 subjects with MS had this, that's a high percentage (71.4 percent). Even though a very small sample size. Hopefully they'll follow up with a larger study. Thanks for posting this study.

Re: Beijing Institute--neurosurgeons treating jugular veins
Hi Joan, Thanks so much for posting this. I think everything you have done so far to contribute to the sharing of information about CCSVI has been extremely helpful. Its not your fault that the western world of medical research has the limitations it does. That's incredibly good news that China is m...

Re: eye research supporting CCSVI
Hi Cece,
Great find! I think you should share that eye study with Dr Sclafani and Dr Zamboni, in case they aren't already aware of it.

Hi Jimmilegs, Thanks for posting this!

Re: Cannabidiol attenuates EAE
Thanks for posting this!
I know its just mice, but it sure sounds hopeful.
CBD is legal where I'm located, so might be worth a try. I will keep searching ThisIsMS for more information on CBD oil for MS.

I found your old post from 2015 by searching for TLR9, which stands for Toll Like Receptor 9.
