I'm here too. Reading and learning

Hi Dr Sclafani As one who has been lucky enough to get another procedure soon, should we be asking our IR to go through the left side to check for May Thurner? Are you still of the opinion that cutting balloons shd be used? Any other techniques that you would use that may have changed in the last 6 ...

So... the bar of soap, does it have to have the packaging off? Do you have to be touching it?

Thanks Doctor Flanagan. Have sent a copy of his x-rays to you. It is great to have the experts so willing to help us. Very very grateful that you have come to this site. Partway through your book.
Cheers

Husband had first adjustment today. Very gentle as Chiro was a little scared after hearing his history and seeing the x-rays we had had done. Apparently the atlas is twisted and higher than it should be? and wedged up around the occipital? maybe I have this right... Doc Flanaghan, tried to get xrays...

My husband used to take it, but stopped as he was told that it increased fatigue, which is a big issue for him. Trying to get off all prescription meds anyway so this was the kicker. Didn't seem to increase the spasticity that he had at the time noticeably, but 18 mths down the track there is defina...

Hi Dr Sclafani Thanks for all the time you take answering all our questions. It is much appreciated, I have followed this thread from the beginning, fantastic information for us all. My husband has PPMS, full time in chair. He has been tested and found to have narrowings in veins, LIJV 10mm down to ...

When my husband had his tested they found that the left had a maximum diameter of 10mm with a narrowing to 1.7mm and the right a maximum of 6mm with a narrowing to 1.4mm. does anyone know what the normal parameters are? We have gone this alone and feeling our way as we go, not really sure where to g...

My husband has been doing IBT for about 2 months. He had his doppler done on Monday. He was still diagnosed with narrowed jugular veins and query on azygous. Can't say in your case, but in his the narrowing was still visible. Hope you get a good result.

Had ultrasound yesterday and both right and left IJV have narrowings. Not sure how much yet, have to wait for the report to be sent to us, however we were told that there are definitely abnormalities in both veins. We were so happy to be told that they was abnormal - seems so wrong to be pleased, bu...

Had the ultrasound done at CRG yesterday. Narrowing found in both right and left internal jugulars in the middle. No more info at this stage. The report is going to get written up and sent to our GP, who happens to be away for the week - so we have to wait ... but we are getting images on CD sent to...

Sorry didn't answer your question. It is for doppler ultrasound. If stenosis is found we will move straight onto venogram and ballooning, once we get accepted by a surgeon, but the guys at CRG are very encouraging.

Went to the GP. Chose a GP from our local medical centre who was open to new things. Haven't spoken to the Neuro at all. GP was a bit doubtful about it but said a diagnostic can't hurt, so gave referral. Is keen to get feedback about it. Chch radiology group (CRG) is who we have the test with, appar...

The ball has started rolling in NZ. Already some people have had testing done, and stenosis found and we are going for first test 12/4. Can't wait, So excited!!

@Phil/Brainteaser Can you let me know where/who in NZ is doing the ops/testing. I have had not much luck at all in getting anyone interested
Cheers
