with withdrawl. Is there any opiate effect to LDN and could that be why people feel so much better? I was also wondering if LDN has been
proven to actually help prevent relapses or has it just shown to help symptoms of MS? Does anyone here take LDN as their only MS
treatment?
I also was wondering why more and more people arent looking into CCSVI? And how can doctors turn away patients with blockages in their
veins just because its not proven to cure MS? If a vein is blocked (especially a main artery in your neck) I think it should be unblocked and
if it wasnt it would obviously cause some problems regardless of whether you have MS or not. From what I understand 99% of doctors
dont know how to check or look for the right things when testing for CCSVI (and most doctors dont even know how to test for CCSVI) so
people are having to go to clinics specific in CCSVI testing to get checked.
Anyways, thanks for letting me ramble on and ask a million questions  Thanks everyone for being so helpful in this forum! You guys help
keep me sane thru my limbo-land!  |

We've seen estimates that as many as 15000 PWMS have not only 'looked into' CCSVI treatment but have had the procedure done. My wife was one of them. Nine months ago, we drove from Pittsburgh, PA to Albany, NY for this simple procedure that lasted about 45 minutes. We saw immediate and dramatic improvements in her symptoms that day and, since then, have seen other subtle improvements to the point that she is now almost completely symptom free. It may not be a cure - but we're big believers in CCSVI treatment improving QOL. More and more interventional radiologists are getting onboard - a clinic just opened in Pittsburgh recently. The neurologists and BIG PHARMA are the problem. It's a turf war.
