Thanks Cece.

Anyone know the vein compression code?

Vece--Great news! Glad it all went well. I can relate to the driving & parking issues. Been along time since I worked downrown & drove it.

If this BC/BS policy change wasn't effective until 4-12-11 why was newlywed4ever who had the procedure on 1-28-11 & a check to AAC cut on 4-5-11 denied? I don't understand.

You sound just like me. I forced them to do the spinal tap because I was sure it was MS. My sister has it & I knew the symptoms. They just kept saying it was anxiety but years later it was confirmed. In fact, I even saw a chiropractor looking for help when they couldn't find it. The first thing ...

jml- I had exactly your symtpoms at age 32. Went thru every test possible. Mri, spinal tap etc. I, too, was told it was anxiety & it did go away for quite sometime. As time went on the legs got a little worse and 15 years down the road I fell & broke the shoulder. Then they found it on the m...

Trish, Dr. Cumming is very good & so willing to help. I have been treated by him & he is so on board with ccsvi. He is so willing to follow up even when not being treated by him. I hope yor DM will consider seeing him but realize how it is when you must know your boundaries. MS can be such a...

I've been on 3mg. for 18 mos. now. Even though I didn't show any positive effects I have no negative & am hoping for help to slow progression. It is such a inexpensive drug to take. For me 4.5mg. incresed my spacisity so I went back to 3 mg.

I never did feel any effects either good or bad.

Thanks. It made me smile!

Cece---- Thanks for the update. It is truly inspiring to hear of the wonderful outcome. I can't be happier for you & your family. Never thought I'd see this in my lifetime and even though I saw no positive changes I'm so happy for you & all the others with such positive results.

Cece--Welcome back. Glad you're doing well & experiencing positive improvements. Miss your views & expertiese on the forum but know you need to rest for now.

Cece- So glad it's over & that was impressive blockages. I did have neck sensitivity. Never bad but 2+ months later I feel the sensitivity at times. I'm sure stretching the veins is the culprit but think it is natural to feel some sensitivity. Take care!

Cece, thinking of you. I'm so glad you're having this done now, avoiding progression . Praying for you for the best possible results.

Cece-Thanks for posting all these wonderful outcomes. It gives some of us hope & inspiration to keep the faith.
