Hey Edser, this is good news. Shaved alone and survived... Fantastic. I hope you get out of your house soon... Try out those Liberated legs and let us know.

Just to add my new years best wishes to all on this wonderful site. It has brought so many of us hope and I tune in daily looking for updates from all those who have had treatment already, so many thanks for those.
Dr Simka has outlined April for me to visit him in Poland - I'm just so excited - Let all us msers dare to hope that 2010 is going to bring some great progress in sorting out this nightmare illness.

Hi fellow MSers:

My name is Sean McNeil, from Eastern Canada.

I have had RRMS for over 5 years. I have watched with great interest the CCSVI theory and how it is being played out in the medical field.

I have sent several emails to Dr. Simka but no reply. I was wondering if you had more information regarding Dr. Kostecki's contact information?
I am prepared to travel to Poland to see the doctor for MRV and Ultrasound testing. If they detect stenosis, then I will consider the surgery.

I have given up trying to get the proper testing done here in Canada because outside of trained technicians in a clinical trial setting, there is no other way to get tested. It is so frustrating and really deflates your hope.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Edser gaves us the following information yesterday earlier in this thread.

CCSVI testing is now available in Tychy(Poland) by Dr Kostecki whose email address is kosteckj@op.pl

Erika said she had met Dr Kostecki.

Hi Sean,
If I was you I'd mail Dr. Kostecki right away... all of Dr. Simka's communications were by e-mail. and it is probably the same with Dr. Kostecki.

For Edser and all others who have been liberated and site better balance as a result of the procedure...would you mind expanding on that?

I guess I'm trying to figure out is if what I feel 24/7 has a chance of being helped by this procedure. I feel a constant, 24/7 sense of dis-equilibrium. Not spinning vertigo, but more like I'm just slightly tipsy, all the time. So there are no activities I can't do per se if I really want to, but doing just about anything except sitting with my head still is not pleasant. Does that make sense?

And when I turn my head quickly or up or down quickly, it's like the back of my head doesn't come with the front, right away. There is a weird lag.
Basically I think my vestibular-ocular reflex is all screwed up and makes me feel "dizzy" all the time and I'm wondering if this is the kind of symptom that has been helped by the procedure.

Thanks and I'm so happy for all who have been able to be helped by this - it really gives me hope!

Hi SaintLouis, I don't think anyone can be categorical about what is going to get better after the procedure. What I can say (from what I have read here) is that everyone who has had the procedure done (with a couple of obvious exceptions) has had some improvement in their condition.
As you have probably gathered by now MS is a very individual disease and most of the MS patients I have read about or spoken to have symptoms that they have but not every patient has... so guessing what might improve is just that guessing.

Edser I want to hear all about that WALK when you get back!!!
