This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Hi Dr Flanagan, I have Transverse Myelitis, as a monophasic monofocal inflamatory demyelination of the spinal cord. I've read your thread as I find it very interesting. I was treated for CCSVI in March 2010 just 14 months after my TM diagnosis. I went from being housebound to now almost fully recove...

Cece I rescued this from the locked thread on this topic. I might be pessimistic but I think calling CCSVI an entity, a syndrome, or whatever will not help much now . Politics might be a part of the puzzle now, not just medicine. Mark W wrote It is important to understand what Prof Zamboni has done ...

lol! I think rats do not get MS, docs induce them a similar demyelinating disease.

Call me skeptical on this but I rather wait until the trial is done on humans...

The study has been done on rats. Humans need to wait Studies on rats by Cambridge and Edinburgh University researchers identified how to help stem cells in the brain regenerate myelin sheath, needed to protect nerve fibres. MS charities said the "exciting" Nature Neuroscience work offered ...

I have written this post in another thread but might worth duplicating: http://www.thisisms.com/ftopict-7800.html Docs have known for a long time that trauma and vascular issues can cause demyelization. Here a video of a 2010 symposium of rare neuro conditions. The speaker is Dr Pardo (Johns Hopkins...

Thanks Mark, When I complained to my docs that I was having excruciating daily migraines I was told that migraines were not common among MS or TM patients. Mmm. The migraines went away after CCSVI treatment. Here is what the Oxford neuros say taken from the link you shared (thanks! I had not seen it...

ikulo, it seems that he responded to one of his patients who is about to have CCSVI treatment. BTW, Dr Freedman is member of a team that is investigating CCSVI Project Details: This team is employing “3 Tesla” MRI technology that is twice as powerful as a standard MRI magnet to explore differences i...

The chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency syndrome P Zamboni and R Galeotti Chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI) is a syndrome characterized by stenosies of the internal jugular and/or azygous veins (IJVs-AZ) with opening of collaterals and insufficient drainage proved by reduced...

Mark,

Thanks,

Rox
