Seems like my hands are getting better. There is not much numbness left other than my fingers. I really hadn't tested out heat tolerance. But I do notice when I go out while it is sunny I "feel" it less. Makes me wonder if there was a better stent out there how would I feel. One side is 75...

They entered through my right leg.
Had first few nights of sleeping through the whole night. Unbelievable! I hope this keeps getting better! I have to say I am feeling pretty damn good!

I love the CLK's Nunzio. I have the E55.

My Azygos was checked and had very little issues so they had not ballooned it.. 30 days of Plavix is my treatment. Then baby aspirin after that. I am not sure of the balloon size and pressures. I am supposed to do a follow up in 4 weeks. They want a Doppler done as well but I can have that done clos...

CCSVI today in Tampa

Went in today with Dr Arslan.
Found both jugulars 90% blocked. Did angio. one vein is now 30%, other is now 75%. Decided to not do a stent and see how I did with much blockage opened up. Cog fog, gone. Vision better. hands now warmer and less numb.
I hope this continues. :D

My Dr., Dr Arlslan in Tampa stated he only does the azygos due to the location and not being as much movement. He said doing the jugular, your neck moves too much which bends the metal of the stent, which could eventually break. Just think of when you bend a paperclip back and forth enough the metal...

My Dr wasn't fond of stents due to the amount of movement in your neck they will see. When you bend metal back and forth enough it will eventually break. That is the best way I can relate to it and understand it. He is just waiting for some newer more flexible technology behind stents.

I tried it and it messed me up bad. My Neuro said I would feel odd for a couple of weeks until I got used to it. I couldn't make it past the 1st week. Messed me up more than it helped at all. It felt like I was spun around in an office chair really fast about 20 times. I don't even know how I made i...

Then it started really hurting. I was prescribed antibiotics and came to an open wound with dead skin ...
