Hello All!

Just wanted to pop in and introduce myself before I posted a question in the CCSVI thread.
I live on Vancouver Isl and I sincerely hope that no one if put off by this, but I do not actually have MS myself. My mother-in-law has had this disease for 27 years and her brother also has it. Needless to say, it has always been something my husband and I have been dealing with in one way or another.
About a year ago he had some health concerns that may or may not have been related to a medication he was taking. Regardless, they were frightening because the symptoms were very similar to early MS symptoms (tingling, numbness etc). Since that time, I have become very interested in the progress of finding new solutions to this disease...for my mother-in-law, but also for the possibility that my husband develops this disease in the future.
I have tried very hard not to spend time worrying that he will develop MS, but I have to say -- that is difficult to avoid. It makes me feel so positive that there is such intriguing research going on concerning CCSVI and stem cell treatments.
I have LOVED reading about all of this on this site and am amazed at the knowledge and communication going on here!
I am going to head over to the CCSVI thread now to post a question I haven't been able to find an answer to!
Cheers!
