Guest guest Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 As one who has had CCSVI treatment I have to comment that I do not see it as false hope whatsoever. I have had PPMS for 15 years and am permanently in a wheelchair so I wasn't expecting much. I got more than in my wildest dreams. OK I am still in the wheelchair but can walk a few steps with a walker now 4 months later. EVERYTHING else improved or disappeared (apart from I still have cold feet - I think I can live with that ). The damage MS had wreaked on my body was major and I would not expect to be totally " normal " in such a short time. CCSVI is congenital so I have had it for getting on 60 years. Maybe in time my lesions will heal themselves, maybe not but the absence of brain fog, fatigue and pain has been worth it for me. We are all different, our MS (/ALS/Alzheimer's/Parkinson's/Hashimoto's) are all different but we all have iron deposits on the brain which CCSVI treatment helps resolve. OK some people restenose but for those who don't or don't for some while, it can be miraculous. Janet From: peter.nicholls@...
