This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Quote: The MS symptoms are not changed, such as gait, balance, parathesia, spasticity 'hard symptoms'. i do not agree. Any one of many of my patients are most welcome to chime in. i have seen loss of foot drop, return of balance, color vision and vision clarity improved, numbness evaporate, wallwalk...

Dr Warren Goldstein, Richmond Hill...he has heard Zamboni speak, thinks he has some good ideas, and was supportive when I went for my CCSVI last month. He doesn't think its a cause/cure but a piece of the puzzle...

Hi Doc, Was just reading NotJohnson's Brooklyn Bound post, and NormB said his lower back pain improved after the procedure. I noticed my lower back pain dramatically decreased -- I hate to jinx it and say disappeared -- the day after my May 6 procedure. My back issues started with the onset of my d...

Oh I was just looking at my menu from La Villa...we were there last week. In fact we ate there twice! Hope all went well...

Yikes...the case above is the one you had after I kneed you for 3 hrs Friday? And I thought I was challenging.

Here's a wee benefit with mixed emotions...my spasticity is gone for now...yay...but I can't use it to stand up...so rehab it is.

Dr S...you are my hero!

I have a feeling the site was down right after I posted twice yesterday. To Dr Sclafani...thank you for your answer. I'd do my best to try and lie flat. My left leg lies flat (if my right is supported by a wedge)-maybe it would be prudent to enter via the left groin? And to Bluesky re botox...I'd be...

How would one treat a pt with angioplasty (venous or otherwise) who can't lie flat on their back. My MRI was ruined the other day by a leg that pulled up and relaxed constantly for 40 min in the tube despite ativan and clomazapan. Its a positional reaction to a shortened psoas muscle and spasticity ...

Yes....why?

Please do...I'm just about to put down a ddeposit....

Hmmm, interesting...I think I have low grade chronic sinusitis...and Cece, thank you also....

Of course now I am doubting my selection (typical Libra)...where should I go and how fast is the list?

Thank you both. Yes, I was going beyond the azygos vein into the iliac etc. I wasn't aware most others did look at those. One reason I was looking at PI was a shorter waiting list. I think Dr Sclafani has a much longer waiting list-and honestly, I am losing too much daily to wait 6 months...Obviousl...

Any advice is gratefully received...cause I'm just so confused. I have lesions in my spinal cord only...C4, C5 and T8...and spinal cord atrophy. I am quite disabled. In looking as to where to go to get angio, I found that Pacific in Calif. (I am in Ontario-this would be a bit of a trek) checks all v...
