This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

So what does that mean for us? Is the problem that we cannot get this catalyst close to the areas where there is demylenation?

I have done a lot of searching, but have not found any visuals or definitive proof of "Plaques healing after CCSVI treatment"! Does anyone know of this? My Aunt who is a Doctor in the US said that a patient can have a "temporary blood high" from the treatment, which eventually go...

This may be a very basic question, but my Aunt is a Medical Doctor and she was wondering what Zamboni's theory is for why plaques form in the spinal area, not the brain?

How does CCSVI explain non-cranial (brain) plaques?

Thanks...

hargarah, Do you take those combine at the same time? Do you take them year long or only when you have a relapse/symptome flare? I have chronic pain, worse since procedure, I have tried all the neuroleptics, anti-depressors for pain Cymbalta, etc... I am on heavy dose of painkillers combine with pa...

MS Hug: I have had this feeling for years....to the point I needed to wear loose clothes, because the touch of them against my skin would light up a fire! There are two drugs - without which I would not be working today. 1) Amitryptalene - spelling might be off, or Elavil. This drug works, although ...

Scorpion, The day I was diagnosed with MS, by Dr. Freedman, he asked me if I would like to participate in one of his studies. He then was joking and laughing with the nurse and said to me, "I don't want you to feel like a guinea pig, although you kind of will be". Now you tell me, HOW WOUL...

This article is the best!!! http://liberationtreatmentccsvi.com/2010/09/ms-doctors-attacked-for-their-skepticism/ MS Doctors are feeling the heat!! Dr. Mark Freedman feels like the public is against him...poor baby! And he got a hug from a patient, awww! This piece of #$% is the worst doctor in the ...

My neuro. He said it would be a waste of money to do it in Montreal. Then Montreal caved in and stopped doing them. All of a sudden I saw a posting here, Excellent Site: http://liberationtreatmentccsvi.com/2010/08/video-ccsvi-testing-in-toronto-ontario-covered-by-ohip/ I told him, through the nurse ...

PCakes, Yup!! I was so surprised too. The only cost was to take a day off work and the trip to Toronto. The guy was trained by the Dr. in Barrie and he is very knowledgeable. The point I was trying to make is that as he was doing the ultrasound of my veins, we were talking (sometimes he told me not ...

Got a copy of CD. Only I cannot understand anything. He is going to make a report and send it to my Neuro.

We will see!

A quick note: I just came from a two-day trip to Toronto. More specifically, the Toronto Centre for Medical Imaging. They were very pleasant and extremely nice. The cost of the ultrasound, following the Zamboni protocol is covered entirely by OHIP (for Ontario patients). The technician was very frie...

The answer is really not that complicated:

GET ANOTHER NEUROLOGIST!!!!

I switched from Dr. Freedman, who is a low-life piece of elephant @#$% that should be shot at dawn!

I am so glad you mentioned that name: Dr. Freedman. This self-indulging prick is the biggest goof in the world. He cares only about his own opinion and has screwed up countless patients, both emotionally and with treatment. Little do you know how many people have verbally told this piece of %$#@ to ...

What are these learned "Neurologists" smoking? We are not talking about depression or anxiety or pain. How can a "placebo" effect reconnect nerve signals? It is physically impossible! MS causes "physical" damage to nerves - not just sensory problems, but actual PHYSICAL...

Just to put this out there: I have seen so many posts and articles related to studies worldwide that question the validity of CCSVI. I have also read that the criterion of these studies is questionable and "smoke and mirrors" may be at play. My final conclusion to everyone is "If you ...
