Are there any more tests like ultrasound after procedure?? When were you able to go home??? Next day?? In my case there was no other test (Doppler) afterwards. I think that varies depending on findings and other variables but you would have to ask the doctors. After they finished I had to remain st...

Siskin 8/20/2010 !

They have their **** together up there in NY. And it may be a scary thought before hand,but it's really no big deal. It's over before you realize what happened. I had to ask where it was, what they did etc. They keep you pretty loopy

I just have to say it is great to hear that so many of you are getting your dates.

Good luck to you all !!! The people in Albany are GREAT!!! And you have to stop in the Recovery Room for wings and a beer.

Great to hear the wonderful news BadCopy! Keep the improvements going. Did you walk from the procedure, or take a wheelchair to Hilton Hotel? How many procedures were done at the same time? Boo.. are you doing better? Did you see more changes after the first few weeks? I was able to walk both there...

THE HOTEL : If you can, rent a car. The hotel is good and the Recovery room has great food and drink. Use Soho pizza delivery. Ask the front desk they have coupons. If you dont have a car you are kind of stuck as for food, entertainment options unless you are a person that can walk a mile or so. Goo...

My insurance was covering the Provigal. If your Neuro prescribes it they may cover it. Truthfully I have been taking it for a while and it may just still be in my system, but we will see. From the start: Start in the IR check in,In the basement of ALBANY MEDICAL CENTER. like a clinic check in area. ...

Taking it easy really isnt me, but I'll try, maybe. I will give details on the " Just a Bad Copy" thread in the next day or two. Thank you all for the kind words!!!!!!!!!!

8) 8) 8) 8) 8) I just got home tonight and don't want to stay up late but just had to say that I was expecting absolutely nothing because I have had this so long. I can track things across a room with my eyes again (even when I have had a few). I would say that is at about 90% and it was at about 50...

Hi all- This is Tony's wife. I jus spoke to him from Albany, NY. He had his Liberation Treatment today. They found mild blockages in both of his jugular veins and a vein in his chest. He is doing good.

Thanks all !!!

The other day I was thinking "why would the medical, pharma, etc community not want to see the end of MS, or any other disease?" So I compared it to the tobacco INDUSTRY. What would have happened if we outlawed all tobacco use at once? Tobacco farmers out of work, processing factories, mar...

Do you know which doctor is doing your procedure? All the best BadCopy! I hope you get 1,000,000 Mg's of placebo ... each day for the rest of your life. Not sure. Just know that all the DR contact I have had has been with Siskin. And I am at the hospital. Thats funny, I was thinking that I would be...

Good for you BOOBEAR. Two birds with one stone Rest up and take it easy. Maybe some Nico gum if needed I quit a few years back and I ad a hard time with it. Some ppl I know just put them down and never had another.

Well I will be headed to NY on Thursday and "under the knife" on Friday. And I couldn't be happier. I will be at the hospital. Having been diagnosed way back in 1993 and self diag as SP since 2006-7 I don't expect reversal. I guess I just hope that I have the issue and it's correctable. I ...
