This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Scorpion, sorry if I was overbearing there. Full disclosure, I'm here because my wife has MS, and I have been helping MS Liberation . ca in my free time; they put me on to TIMS, and my wife's pending treatment in less than 3 weeks. For my own sanity, I need to stay positive about this for just a lit...

Scorpion, I'm relative new here, so if you've answered this before please just point me to the thread -- are you someone with ms, a family member, a volunteer, just interested? You seem down on this whole thing, and yet you make a ton of posts. Love the contrarian spirit here, but saying the ms soci...

From the Symposium, Siskin admitted that he might be under-treating too. Dr. Sinan in Kuwait was having better results without being allowed to use stents at all, but he was very aggressive with the balloons (sizes and techniques), and in severely damaging the valves (where that was the case). Dr. P...

The only way you can say there is "no evidence" that Zamboni's theory works, is if you say Zamboni is a liar, Simka is a liar, Petrov is a liar, Sinan is a liar, MacDonald is a liar. They didn't invite any of these people to the meetings - in fact they didn't invite anyone who has done the...

The more information the better - PCakes, maybe you should retitle this post as "Canadians - Give Mark Lane your treatment results by 10Sept2010

I applaud Ted Warren's stance on this.

Dr. Sclafani, Since your symposium, have the physicians who participated started to fall in line around a common treatment protocol... are most sharing information between each other - or are most people practicing in silos? Thanks Absolutely not! i.... the promise by SIR (society of interventional...

So upset about the CanGov back down after their meetings with the MSSC "experts" that I missed the Albany Study gettign the go ahead. Sweet!

(Anyone know the rules on unblinding the study?)

I am literally fuming right now. How cruel and unusual is this - wait 2 years to do treatment studies? Everyone who suffers any symptom progression, or any symptoms while waiting for these guys to pluck their noggan's out of the re behinds should consider who is responsible - probably these unreason...

The President of the Canadian institute for health research announced to a parliamentary subcommittee that they would fund this in June, and now they reneging. This is shocking - and the MS Society is behind it: "Backed by experts from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the MS Socie...

Squiffy, any word on David Boyle. I watched his videos on youtube, and at the end he seemed a bit disappointed with the relatively mild improvements. He hasn't posted anything in a while He really opened up and put himself out there and did a great job raising awareness. I hope he is doing OK, and i...

I can't wait to find out who attended this meeting. I fear no one with any actual experience in performing the treatment was invited to present what they have learned.

Dr. Sclafani, Since your symposium, have the physicians who participated started to fall in line around a common treatment protocol? Balloon sizes? Order of treatment? It sounds as if there are many doctors performing the treatments; are most sharing information between each other - or are most peop...

For every good news story - a bad.

What do people think of this one?

Joge, sorry to hear that your own Dr. not only doesn't have an open mind, but is prepared to call you a liar instead. Just to be clear, I am interested in hearing/reading about the 10 person safety study at UB Neurosurgery which took place the last 2 days of June, and whether they have started the 2...
