I talked to my Dr about CCSVI

[catfreak]

I had my MRI, Tysabri and saw my Neuro on Monday. No new lesions and no change in MRI. (yeah)

I asked if he had heard about the research being done with CCSVI. He said he had and it sounded very exciting. He said it was great the some docs were thinking out side the box and looking at stuff like the venous issues. He even showed me on a brain poster hanging on the wall the venous structure in the skull and tried to explain some things to me but I was lost. He said it was very very promising research. I told him I knew of some that were already getting the stints put in and it really seemed to be improving their quality of life. He seemed to think it would have to improve many things going on with MS. He believes the research will not just benefit MS patients but other disorders as well.

I go back in 3 months and may take some materials with me. When will Zamboni be published? Is Dr Dake going to publish his research?

Who all has been and had surgery and who is signed up to go?

Hey Cat-
Thanks for posting! Glad to hear your MRI didn't show any change. You are a lucky gal to have such an open and knowledgeable neuro. The Dake and Zamboni research and much more will be released on Sept. 8 at the CCSVI convention in Bologna, Italy. We'll probably be posting stuff then, so you can print it out (in case your neuro hasn't read it already.)
all the best,
cheer

This is such great news, Cat - no new lesions and a neurologist who is willing to look outside the box! A good day for MS.
