Three times for me, but not only because of restenosis, but because of missed blockages too.

I am so happy to read your update! Congrats to you!!!

Fantastic results and a very happy outcome! If it weren't for you and Jeff, we would not be here celebrating all of our recoveries. Actually, most are out living, and not spending too much time here any longer. That's a good thing!
Hope you two have fun celebrating!

Yes, my legs feel lighter and I haven't had any shooting pains or stiffness in my calves.
All the best to you too!!

It's been two weeks since my third treatment. I feel amazing! This time I feel even lighter and more energetic. I have no symptoms now. There is something different about this time. Even though I felt relief after the previous treatments, this time I feel incredible. I've been sleeping less and doin...

Karen,
Haacke is the best when it comes to flow and MRV. I think that is a really good idea. Once you see the blockages (assuming there are any) it will be easier to make a decision about treatment. I hope you find some answers!

I did have balance issues, stiffness in my legs, weakness in my hands, and some neuropathy. They all improved, although they do crop up from time to time. It's been two weeks since my last treatment with McGuckin (in Durham, NC) and I feel even more improvement this time than I did the first two tim...

Seabea, A lot of your symptoms were very familiar to me prior to my CCSVI treatment. I have benefitted greatly from this treatment. Dr. McGuckin did my last two procedures. (Yes, you will probably have to be treated more than once.) It was covered by insurance. He is amazing and is more thorough tha...

Hope everything is okay!!!!!

I'm so happy for you! Keep the updates coming!!

Thank you. I hadn't even considered the lesion reacting or healing because of the treatment this time. But, my MRI was improved prior to this latest scan and I know of others who have had their lesions disappear after ccsvi treatment. If this new lesion reacts to the treatment I will be thrilled!!

There is more benefit in focusing on diet and supplements than we really realize. I think it is VERY important. Best of luck.

I meant the arch. Both jugulars are normal size. You understand the flow better than I. The doctors thought the problem would be jugular related. The 20% does not seem significant. Dr. Dake will be comparing my MRIs. I am wondering if the lesion really is new. He will know for sure. Doesn't seem lik...

Haha! Congrats! When your body doesn't work normally, these small things are important when they come back.

So, he went in and found that my left iliac had a 50% blockage. Last time it was 70%, I believe. He placed a large 20mm stent there. Next, he studied the left renal vein. It was 70% blocked. Last time it was 80%, I believe. He stented that vein too with a 14mm stent. He said the drainage was really ...
