my medical center said they are taking a "watchful prayerful stance" but have seen many cures come, and many cures go. They are not reccomending any part of this till much more is known.

My Neuro nurse asked why those who live above the mason dixon line have MS more frequently if its just a plumbing problem....makes ya wonder.

I dunno...I think I want to see more advancements on this, but I am not willing to be first in line...ima chicken.

Default Omaha mission

Omaha, NE. After hearing about the news letter from **(Buffalo Research) I first contacted my insurance company (UHC). The Claims dep. advised me that they will cover the MRV and Doppler tesing, just need a refereral from my Nuero or Physician.
Since the new letter from Buffalo states that we will now be able to get references from our ... See MoreNueros I decided to start searching for facilities in Omaha that can do this test. I have been in contact with Northwest Radiology consultants which has several 4T MRI machines, The procedure administrator will be calling me back on Monday to discuss. I will be providing them with Dr Hacks instructions along with the letter posted from Buffalo. We shall see what happend.
Worst case I will be callling Creighton University, they show right on thier website that they do MRV testing as a normal procedure. Email is ---***

msuser.... I'm in Omaha too!

Northwest Radiology has 4T MRI machines? I didnt know that. I dont live all that far away from them either. Maybe next time I need an MRI...?

Creighton isnt that bad a place. (I have relatives that work for the hospital. I feel I have to defend them a little)

If you get the testing, keep us updated in here. I'd be interested to know how it goes and who to talk to in Omaha.

I actually received a bunch of information emailed to me after the findings were released recently, but I have not the time nor money to fund it ($4.5 to $6k USD, yeouch!). I'll wait patiently for testing to come to my region.
