Guest guest Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Thanks Pinda. All reassurances of my wish to depart with the savings in our bank account are welcome! If I don't follow it up, I'd never know and I think my veins are as buggered as the next persons (with MS). Hope your wife is doing well. Janet To: mscured From: nagra101@...

A vascular surgeon who no longer carries out the scan was adamant there was no blockage - when my friend went to Poland they found blockages via the Doppler. Having said that when my wife had her procedure another patient, an American lady, had her Doppler and they found no issues. Dr Simka suggested they do the venography regardless and they found occulsions very high up near her ears on both sides. Another patient was told she only had a minor blockage via the Doppler but when they did the venography they found a major blockage in one of the jugulars and one in the Azygos (which cannot be detected by a Doppler). The Doppler is usually a good indicator of blockages but the Venography is the GOLD standard. Cheers, Pinda > > > I had a test a few weeks ago at a local hospital here in Spain and was told I don't have CCSVI. However, I also found out that none of the MS people they had tested had it, nor any in the general populace, and it therefore did not exist! > > > > I do not believe this for one second and presume they are not doing the tests correctly, no doubt to disprove the theory. > > > > I am down for CCSVI testing and treatment in a couple of weeks' time in Poland. If I can just prove my neurologist wrong I shall be very pleased; walking will be a further benefit. > > > > I'll keep you updated. > > Janet > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
