This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

garyak, I don't know how Mark is submitting these. The message that's being passed around does say 'first hand' so I can only assume directly from him. We won't know if they're accepted or not or even if they are read once they are accepted but we won't know unless we try. It would be hard to turn d...

garyak,
I only realized it was posted after the fact :/ It's ok, it's a reminder. I think Mike had some 75 sent to him and we know there are more than 75 of us who have been treated in Canada.
take care

PCakes,
I just reposted Mark's request. I was asked to post it. . . I guess he didn't know it was on and I didn't look down far enough to see this.

I am posting for Mark Lane: Mark Lane is requesting that all those Canadians who have had angio/venoplasty as treatment for CCSVI or MS to send a 1 page testimony of your experiences pre and post op to mark@marklane.ca. Please include your name and contact information. This anecdotal evidence ...wil...

BadCopy, My angle was not to bash the Society but I realize the reporter has to get all sides in. To have the lady from our local chapter say there is no connection just. . .. grrrrr! We're not going to move quickly on it with that attitude. I did not expect to get this much out of the treatment but...

I am thrilled they decided to do a segment on CCSVI on our local news, for sure. I also understand how they have just a minute or two to condense an hour and a half of interview time! I remember going through the list of my improvements such as bladder urgency, balance, walking, leg stiffness, brain...

Mark, Hind sight 20/20 . . . What I know now is different from what I thought I knew back in November of 2009. Like most things, until you have the patient on the OR table and you 'open them up' you really don't know what you are dealing with. Yes, venogram, venogram, venogram :) I am thankful for m...

Thanks Curious! Yes, I was one of those with negative MRVs and pretty non-impressive doppler results so I went in this with low expectations thinking I'll be thrilled if they find something. So when I thought I heard the words 'balloon' I had to ask the doctor, "did you say balloon?" lol I had steno...

Good luck, Rici! Stay strong and all the best to you!

Funny, I keep saying I feel better when I'm on vacation. Guess what I do when I'm on vacation. . . . swim in salt water.

I have to go in the water gradually because the shock of the cold on my skin makes my legs give out from under me and I do a not-so-graceful face plant.

Interesting.

Johnson!
I haven't been on TIMS lately but I've been thinking of you! Looks like you're a success story! Yay! lol I'm giddy for you!
I hope you are home resting and getting caught up on life missed. Can't wait to see what you'll be painting now!
best wishes!
