Someone asked here about Kathleen a week ago too. Haven't heard. Her videos are taken down?

She is no longer on Facebook. A mutual friend texted her two weeks ago and then a few days later, with no replies. I heard she needed a break from all ccsvi all the time, but to me, her disappearance is worrisome.

I can understand wanting a break, she's been 110% full speed on this for a long time. I'd really like to just know everything is good and she's just enjoying life.

I would also just like to know that she is okay? Can one of her local friends please just let us know?
It will be much appreciated.

That was me asking.

She used to be more like 1000%. Perhaps someone that has firsthand knowledge will let us know. She initially was advocating for the doctor in Egypt. Then she went to Pacific in CA for retreatment, got a stent in her azygous, and was very vocal about them (in a very positive way).

Wasn't she also the one who made the conversation that a couple of MS drug sales men had on an internet forum (seeing us patients first of all as golden cows) public via the CCSVI facebook page?
This stirred quite some noise a couple of months ago. I hope, this - or anything else - has not brought her in trouble...
If someone could let us know, that would be appreciated

That was Kathleen. The mutual friend we have is one of the Seattle "stars" and she's hit a brick wall too. Does anyone have a relationship with Dr. Arata at Pacific Interventionalists? He's the doctor she got retreated at.

I too worry for Kathleen, but honor her space and privacy. She has a good support group. I wish her well, send warm and supportive hugs.
Many Canadians are a supportive army behind her.
When she is ready.
We are hear with open arms and hearts.

I hope she's ok. She's a trip for sure, but you can never question her dedication to all of this. Man I hope she's well.
