My Friend Sue's Liberation procedure update.
A Success, so far..

love it, Sally. What part of the country?

New York, I believe she said Albany. Her DSon took her and is paying what Medicare doesn't pay.

I'm anxious to see if the improvements hold and keep coming. I think that eventually all angio patients will need a stent?

Praying and keeping fingers crossed for Sue and also for Lady's upcoming procedure.

Thank you for the post, Sally! I had an MRV Wed, will find out the results on 12/3. I may need to ask for more info from your friend as to the procedure and how she found the Dr in Albany.

I hope Sue does better n better

Linda

Sally,

i feel dumb asking this Q but i'm confused.
we're talking about clearing out blockages in the jugular veins?
if we are, how does that connect with MS and sx's?

i am not seeing the big picture here but glad sue is doing so much better.

Here is a website that should explain it all, Judy..


http://csvi-ms.net/en

Basically, there's a belief that the blood not draining fast enough is resulting in iron build up in the head, which triggers the auto immune response.

That's the simplest way of putting it I think, correct me if I'm wrong. MS is the result of a vascular condition acting as the catalyst to kick start the disease process in some folks.

There's probably many walking around with CCSVI without MS, but the important thing is they're finding that many with MS have narrowing of the jugglar veins.

like the built up pressure from the veins not being able to drain correctly causes a reflux or backwash of blood back into the brain, and it drops off the heavy iron deposits, which are what show up as lesions. That is why the lesions tend to group around the ventricle and not too many other places in the brain.

Arteries deliver blood to the brain, the veins carry the used blood away. This is why there is so much debris in the veinous system.

I want so badly for this thing to be an answer. I am cautiously optimistic.

Thanks Sally

When I get mine unblocked next month, I will give honest answers to any questions that you ask. You know I am an honest and open person when it comes to any health issues.

I am blocked in the left jugular, I was tested with Dr Zamboni's protocol. The Azygous vein in the chest, which affects mostly balance, walking, B & B (our plumbing) issues, spinal, arms, hands, legs and feet, will be tested and treated if needed during my Venogram/Angioplasty (Liberation Procedure).

My Cranial veins in my head tested fine, TG. If they were blocked I would need to see a Vascular Surgeon.

I am going to a Board Certified Interventional Radiologist, MD who is well trained, and has the new equipment to test and treat me.

I'll keep you all updated when I get it done, and if you want to know more.

**Sue, I am praying that you see improvements everyday. Thanks for being one of the pioneers in this procedure.

Lady, that's awesome they're doing a full check on you, and following the Zamboni protocol as well!

I'm so excited for you and to hear how things work out
