Hi there everyone , Really impressed with the documentary on CTV last night about CCSVI, would reallly like to get checked out for the treatment as would many others,I'm sure. I have had MS for approx 20 years.went from RRMS to SPMS but am still very lucky to be able to walk with just the assistance of a cane. Have mild swallowing difficulty and of course very tired most of the time, need frequent naps. On Neurontin and baclofen which help alot with the leg burning and the leg and hand spasms. Quite impressed with this site. All the best to everyone else fighting this horrible disease!

Hi Kath,

Another Canadian. I'm in Ottawa and was diagnosed in July 2006. I have no symptoms whatsoever, so in a way, I guess I am fortunate. On a clinical trial for 2 years now. Everything fine so far.

You'll gain much knowledge by reading up here and welcome to the site!
