I'm new here on this site. 56 YOWF with ms. First diagnosed as proable MS in 1984. Had CCSVI procedure at Stanford by Dr. Dake in November of
2009. Initial improvements in energy and getting up at night to go to the bathroom which . Never had improvements in motor skills. Struggling with the motor skills (especially walking) is very tiring. I try to limit my moving around
since it is a struggle. I use a walker at home and a wheelchair out. I'm not convinced I had immune system involvent since I never had RRMS or enhancing lesion on any of the MRIs I've had (first in 2006). Still seem to have more energy post procedure than pre procedure but motor skills are worse. Seems the autoimmune theory is what has gained the most traction and is accepted by both patients and doctors when the results of DMDs and the AI theory are questionable. I guess one would say there's more they do not know about MS than they do. I would say I'm just confused.
