Guest guest Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Hello all, I've been a member of this board for a couple of years and receieved much advice from you all which has greatly helped my wife Sandi - thank you. I would just like to re-iterate the importance of signing the petition. I have spoken to a number of people who have had the CCSVI procedure who have all benefitted from it. It is so important that governments provide the procedure or at least fund a study into it. Please be sure to pass on the petition to your friends and family - you can even sign the petition on behalf of your kids. This is the email I have been sending to my friends and family: " This is a simple plea that can be life changing for many, best thing is it will NOT cost anything and will only take you 10 seconds to do: Please fill in the petition below campaigning for a new treatment for Multiple Sclerosis to be made available: http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/CCSVINOW/?showall=1 - MS effects anyone, young adults and old - Women are almost twice as likely to get it - It is a condition of the central nervous system (which controls the body's actions and activities, such as movement and balance) - In MS, the myelin (fluid like stuff that coats each nerve in our body) becomes damaged, disrupting the transfer of messages - Some of the most common MS symptoms include problems with vision, mobility and balance, pain, fatigue, tremors, bladder problems, speech difficulties, spasticity.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Upon reading the original post I went and had a Doppler ultrasound. My carraded arteries were completely clear of any plaque. Would CCSVI be of no use to those of us MS'rs? -M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Are you 100% sure that they did it correctly? If the team hasn't been taught by Zamboni's team, our UK docs can get it wrong. This is why so many are travelling to Poland where the teams of Simka HAVE been trained by Zamboni - testing for this isn't like having any normal ultrasound - veins may not show up as constricted. You can send your images to Dr Haacke (i think it is) who can have a double-check and let you know. *shrugs* 'What we do in life, echoes through eternity.' MARCUS AURELIUS (121 - 180 A.D.)

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 It's good that you don't have any plaque but CCSVI has to to with veins not with carotid arteries. It is the jugular and azygous veins that are potentially the problem. > > Upon reading the original post I went and had a Doppler ultrasound. My carraded arteries were completely clear of any plaque.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Just echoing what and have stated - You can only be tested for CCSVI if the sonographer has been trained and knows how to test specifically for blockages within the azygos and jugular veins.
