Funding... That's nothing. For pwCCSVI proceeding is sometimes not even possible...
Actually I was going to ask you something: what regime do you use for anti-coagulation lately? Do you expect that to change soon?
My experiences with that:
1. was on Plavix for one year after my heart-attack related angio, where 3 stents were used. I bruised a lot then because I had not had the procedure, and I probably tried to do more than I should have, a few years ago. I'm learning. Anyway for whatever reason, every bump or fall made a bad bruise.
2. was on Plavix for 1 month following procedure for CCSVI in 2010.
3. since heart incident of early 2009 have taken 1 aspirin/day, initially regular adult size, but cut back to baby size because I thought I must be getting nosebleeds from the dry air in winter, combined with a blood thinner. If I was right, I will not have them this winter. I will go back to the adult size in May if that works.
What I want to know is, since length of treatment seems to matter, are we paying that any attention? I hope my heart stents keep working. I don't know if you get clots with arterial stenting and it must be different for veins.
I have heard of everything from none to coumadin for life.
