So glad you're doing so well! I'm also doing very well. Had May-Thurner's stented in July and both jugulars reballooned. Left leg and foot very strong, now. Lots of energy, cognitive great - I can even understand algebra! Becky, my daughter, and I were there with you and your brother. The best is wh...

Just keep searching, something will probably come to you that will answer your questions and send you in the direction that will work f...

6 week update: Just returned from a 4 day camping trip in the High Sierras. What a glorious time I had with my 5 and 7 year old granddaughters! I was able to climb a mountain trail in 20 min! I wasn't even huffing and puffing in the more than 1 mile altitude! Last year, it took me 1 1/2 hours and I...

Terrific!!!

5 Week MT Update : I went to my physical therapist, who does visceral manipulation, today. She has worked with me for about 15 years, so knows my body really well. She said that the MT stent is greatly benefiting the jugulars' and azygos' flows. 5 months ago, the left jugular had restenosed one day...

Dr. Arata attended Dr. Sclafani's symposium and is also in touch with Dr. Dake.

The survey is a great idea, but, for an increasing number of people there are several variances: first, second, or third procedures; immediately better, then worse; immediately worse, then better; slowly improving; slowly worsening. Also, a short section for a comment would be helpful. Just a thought.

Badger, A couple of things: have the MTS checked out. It can be manifested in the right leg, although it is more common in the left; and, make sure you don't have a low grade infection somewhere. I've found that if I have a low grade infection, ie, a kidney infection (very mild), or a gall bladder d...

So apropos'-gosh, is that the word? I've never actually seen it spelled out before

Newlywed4ever, I'm so excited for you and your daughter! It is particularly special to go through it together

Yes, after angioplasty of both jugulars and azygos, total relief from my moderate to severe RLS. When the jugulars began to restenose, it started up a little, but when the jugulars were reballooned it went away again. It's only been two weeks since the reballooning, but so far, so good.

CCSVIhusband, the stent I have is 24mm wide/70mm long.
