Hello

I am a norwegian woman who has been following you carefully for the last six months. I am really impressed by this forum and by all the information I have got from you.
I finally managed to go to Frankfurt to dr. Vogl and he found out that my right jugular vein was 50% narrowed (MRV).

Have any of you had a 50 % narrowing and noticed improvements after treating it? Now I am going back to Frankfurt to be treated, but dr. Vogl says it is important that I have an insurance.
He wrote "please check whether your insurance is covering your treatment in case of complications either here or in your country"

What does he mean by that. Is it enough to have a simple accidentinsurance. It`s difficult to translate these words (ulykkesforsikring in norwegian). Does anybody know?

hello I think he is talking more about a health insurance, since there might be complications and then you should be able to turn o your health insurance in Norway...I guess....did he write in english or german?
If he wrote in german I be happy to help translating and explaining..[/b]

Im from Sweden and is allso following tims every day.
And I have seen how important it is to have an veunogram done with the diagnose. Not only MRV and doppler. There can bee moore problems with your veuins that not showed up.
This will be done att the some time as the surge because they only need to shift "tools" on the catheter.
Be sure of what tecnics your dr. will use.

No, he didn`t write in german (only english). He wrote the same words as I wrote in the quote.

I will ask him to do a venogram. thanks for the information. I also hope that he can find more interesting stuff about my veins during the pretesting.
