Third CCSVI treatment tomorrow

[magoo]

I am scheduled for my third procedure tomorrow with Dr. McGuckin. I was initially treated by Dr. Dake in 2009 with great results. I had a second procedure with Dr. McGuckin in 2011 because I had a return of symptoms, especially heat intolerance, headaches and fatigue. Again, I had great results. In January of this year I began to experience fatigue, cognitive changes, bladder issues, dizziness and increased headaches. It lasted for two months. I went for an MRI and discovered a new lesion. So, I am heading back to hopefully figure out what's going on with my veins. I will update after my treatment.

I hope this works for you but....if it does not I am living proof that here are other ways to get the blood flowing.
All the best.

You know, I don't want to say anything at all about whether you are doing the right thing, and all of that, because I know, it can sometimes not live up to it's reputation, and I have been so adamant about it. I know you don't want to hear, and I don't want to say, anything negative. Myself, I could easily have foolishly left it too long, and now it might be too late to have the thing done again. Don't know. But I just want to say, if it does go south again, and you do end up not wanting to risk it again (and Dania, I am more than respectful of your going for the gusto, too and hope for smooth sailing , I think worst case we are all easily better off, even just for having had temporary improvements. I have abundant confidence in yours and a lot of the other interventionalists. Reading Dania's doctor's CV, I think I would let him work on me in a heartbeat, and the same with yours. Regardless of how I feel about it, I hope for the most successful outcomes of all for you. I want you to know I'm on your side, whatever happens. I think that's true of a lot of your friends here. Keep yer thumbs up. It'll be great. Keep yer stick on the ice. Rah, rah, etcetera. Luck and success tomorrow.
