My azygous was completely missed in Poland, though not Euromedics, but Dr. Kostecki. I got a second opinion upon arrival back to USA. Interestingly, the assessment of the stenosed azygous was made from the MRV done in Poland, but I had another Dr. (in USA) analyse it and clearly point out the place ...

Yes!

He was the one who re-evaluated my MRV after I was pronounced "just fine" in Poland.

Whatever I have in my PayPal is going to the posted address!

I somewhat agree with the accelerated aging notion. I do feel like I aged about 30+ years since the onset of MS (3 years ago) - shortness of breath when performing even the slight activity, bad memory, bad sleep, incontinence, aches and pains - lots of this comes when you get older. But not when you...

Congratulations on having it done!

I know we all expect immediate results, but I did not get them either. Will join you in patiently waiting.

Open veins are good no matter what

Inability to list those symptoms util reading the posts of others and exclaiming "Oh yes! I have THAT!"

I do not think Lyon's job is relevant to any discussion at any time here on this board. I have said this before too, I find it strangely upsetting, it comes across as an attempt to cut him down to size. If it is ok to use "Lyon is a gardener" as a way to make a point, then it would be ok ...

Why do you repeat yourself over and over? Why not post in the Stem Cells forum and watch as no one disagrees? Why post, what purpose does it serve to repeat your opinion over and over that the CCSVI theory may have no basis? I was wondering the same thing, Lyon. You said that you yourself do not ha...

My BP was always (as in - way before Dx with MS, after Dx with MS, recently before Liberation, after liberation, what-have-you) been within the textbook 120/80 (+/- 2 or 3 either way)

Whoa Merlyn, thank you!

Let me read up if it can be taking in conjunction with pharmaceutical blood thinners (like Coumadin for example)

Merry Christmas to you too, Mags. Wonderful news about the doctor! After-care is very important.

Please talk to the person who prescribed the heparin as soon as possible. This is not a matter for a chatroom discussion, rather a medical one. MarkW I agree with Mark. Internal bleeding can just as bad as a clot. I am not talking little under skin bleeding = bigger bruises. There is a possibility ...
