Thank you once again for sharing your experiences with CCSVI. I didn't realize so many people had undergone this procedure. Even to be able to walk using a walker, would be wonderful at this point.

You asked where I live -- it's Northeastern Pennsylvania, USA. I'm about an hours drive from the New York State border, 2-1/2 hours from New York City, 3 hours from Philadelphia. I believe someone here was going to Albany, New York for the procedure. Not sure how far from me that is....perhaps 3/4 hours?? I do know around this area, there aren't even any MS Specialists, Clinics, etc.

I have seen the discussion at thisisms, but never participated. As far as facebook is concerned, I don't have an actual computer, just an ancient webtv that won't allow me to get on facebook or any of the "social" sites. A laptop sounds pretty good to me now though, I'm getting frustrated with the limitations of this webtv.

Are you in Canada? Thought possibly since you didn't sound too happy with the government! Please stay around. It's really helpful hearing from someone who actually had this done. And at your age -- I pray it's the beginning of a long, MS-free life!!
