Funny approach. Well, at least here are some prices for doppler ultrasound: Wow, that's cheaper than an order of magnitude or 2 than I expected (or I might have been cleverer enough to check ebay myself). Among the useless time I’ve spent lobbying politicians in my life, one of the times that actua...

Lobbying: Cost for doppler clinic?
I'm trying to think about how to proceed in the lobbying effort. Here in Canada, it's not the hardest thing for any group of twelve constituents with letterhead and an email address to get a meeting with an MP (federal representative) or, even easier, MLA (provincial). In my experience, that MP or M...

3. I don't believe for one second that this doctor has MS 4. If this dude has MS AND he's a doctor, he would know a lot more about MS and CCSVI Without addressing the issue of whether he has a clue, or is good or bad, he does seem to be a doctor with MS.

Dr Ludwin on CBC
Yes Dr. Ludwin was very positive! Some quotes (my transcription, not official from the CBC): His advice to patients: "Get excited, but not over the top... don't stop your regular medicines. But call your local MS Neurologist to see if the diagnosis at least can be set up locally.... (!!) "...

overhead exercise unbearable
I always hated doing the Military Press (like a bench press, but sitting or standing upright and pushing straight up) - or any similar "overhead" effort, like, say, changing a lightbulb. But almost a year ago, when I was still undiagnosed, but in what I now understand was the relapse which...
