Hi from a Bluenoser (Nova Scotia)

Post by ToddH »

Hello all,
I'm a semi-retired husband with SPMS. I was Dx'ed in '01 after a looong and tiring battle. I have all the usual symptoms, fatigue, spasticity, bladder, etc. I am putting a lot of faith in this newer CCVSI, am I being too optimistic?

ToddH :D

Hi Todd, welcome to TIMS. As far as CCSVI goes, I would say be cautiously optimistic. From the sounds of the Buffalo testing, I think we can say at this stage you likely would find some evidence of CCSVI on testing. I don't imagine we can say whether your particular scenario will be easily treated. If you have not already done so, you can read about the experiences of other SPMS-ers post surgery, on the CCSVI tracking project 'sticky'. http://www.thisisms.com/ftopic-8346-0-d ... -spms.html

jimmylegs, I checked out that link and read some great news! I know it is different for everyone, but I think this may be worth checking into deeper.

lubylu, do you still live in NS? I am in Truro.

scorpion, I promise not to be too vocal in my rants. hehe

thanks all :D
