While I have been lurking for a while so I thought I would introduce my self. My name is Jason I am 36 and I was DX'd almost 1 year ago RRMS and found the CCSVI info about 2 months ago so I am scheduled with my PCP the 23rd to get a refferal to Stanford then hopefully that portion can happen quickly, luckily I live just north of Phoenix so Stanford is not to far of a drive for me and my wife.

Good luck, zipfed !!!! It would be so great if your neurologist is open-minded about CCSVI.... Please keep up posted...

I think he is getting referred by his general practitioner and not a neurologist, which is probably the best idea.

Thanks everybody, and yes I am getting referred by my GP as I cant even get my neuro to return my calls most of the time.

I also went to GP and before to an angiologist. My neuro is my friend, but I still have not tol her a word about CCSVI.
Only one neurologist in Slovakia wants constantly more info from me, which is very good, she is young, she speaks very good English, I go to see her tomorrow.
Another neurologist is from Prague - my ex teacher. He also wants more info, he finds it positive.

Hi Zipfed and CRHinv,

I am Grant and I live in North Phoenix. I am extremely interested in trying to get in to see Dr Dake.

Can you give me some information about how you approached your Dr and how you got into Stanford?

I hope you don't mind if I PM you both.

Thanks,

Grant
