This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Erika... I am just so amazed... You look so beautiful and happy during the procedure. I just emailed the link to your video to my own neurologist and 4 other scientists/doctors here in St. Louis. I didn't need to know Polish to watch a miracle happening... It has impact in any language. Thank you so much.

Awesome videos Erika

The ms comunity owes you a great deal for what you have done to advance understanding of the stent procedure. You are a star in the making

Thanks for sharing these videos and a big thanks for allowing the whole procedure to be filmed.

Feel honoured to have been able to observe this.

Your doctors were very profesional, and focused on the whole process.

It's great to see science moving along at speed rather than crawling along at a snails pace.

This all feels like a dream, something unreal - I mean all this CCSVI. Even Erikas story is like a dream, story of a woman with big will and fight to get stent operation done.. and now we can see it from tube.

And Cheerleader Joan ja Jeff, another fantastic story, once again.. about big heart and will.. and lots of good things. And Jamie & Mel, what a story.. and the list goes on and on. I like this dream, very much.

Thank you!
I wanted to ask a friend of mine to help with that, but I still need 6-8 hours for the internet. I am not complaining I just say how it is.
So many people need help. I just can not ignore it. Of course, doctors ask me for some info so I do it.
Thanks for saving my time!

Ericka, I'm late to this party, but WOW!! The video was amazing, and you looked great!! As others have said, even though I didn't understand the language (other than "stent" and "Zamboni"), I could get the sense of what was happening it was very good to actually see it. Plus, it was nice to put a face to Ricci, and Drs. Simka and Ludyga.
I'd love to know what they were actually saying -- if only English subtitles could be added. Any chance of that happening somehow?

None of those languages is my mother language. I hope somebody will do the subtitles.
I am sure there are many Polish people living in the US.

Ericka, I wasn't at all suggesting that you do it. You've done more than any one person could be expected to do. I was just asking in general if any of our computer-competent members knew of any way to do it, or if maybe there's someway to contact the TV station and ask them. I'm thinking it's like the captions they use at restaurants and bars, with the words scrolling along the bottom of the video.
Again, not for you to do!!! You rest and enjoy. I'm just thinking out loud.

If someone could translate, I think my husband could get a scroll across the bottom to work, but I'm not sure. First step is the translation.

What would be best would be for somone to record a translation in English, or what ever language someone wants it in, and then run a new sound track. The video is so visual, that I wouldn't want to be reading subtitles, I'd rather be hearing it.

Good point about the audio, Michelle. But aren't you (and I) supposed to be working and not hanging out here??

Needled, shhhhhh. I'm working!!!

Day 18.
Since the first day after the procedure my pulse is normal.
I was having problem with too fast heart beating since 2004.
I thought at least three times a day I was getting heart attack. Every simple action was for me like running 10 floors upstairs. It was quite scary.
I was taking Isoptin for it - I do not do it anymore.
I only sometimes have the feeling it is coming again but for sure it is not that bad.
Well, my 10 years small nephew is still much stronger than me.
I really did not like the feeling. I remember the first day after my procedure. I washed my long hair. It was always "big action" for me. It was OK and it is still OK.
I would say it is 80% better all the 18 days.
I am so glad it is gone. I hope it does not return. I really did not like it.
Erika

Super Erika
