I really want to investigate this. I gave some info about it to my neuro when I saw him in October, but he just glanced at the info and tried to give it back to me. I was like "no. I want you to read this and investigate the information for me", and told him to keep it.

I doubt he'll do anything with the info tho.

I am going to call my regular doctor tomorrow and ask him to investigate it for me. I think I'll have more success with him researching it because his dad has MS and so did his grandmother. He might want to know about CCSVI (sp? Does anyone else think it looks like a Roman numeral?) for personal reasons, along with professional reasons.

I really want to look into any possible treatments I could get out of this. I'm not so thrilled with the possibility of taking blood thinners or having surgery, but it doesnt sound as depressing as stabbing myself with needles, or just sitting here feeling the MS take over. (having a bad week...I feel like I'm about to have a major exacerbation. Numbness in both shoulders, both arms, and my chest. It's scaring the crap out of me...stupid lesion at C4 is probably responsible, and it's ticking me off and freaking me out at the same time. I have a ton of anxiety from this.)
