I am having the "Liberation Procedure"
 

Hi my friends,
FYI:

I just wanted to let you all know that my left jugular in blocked and I am going to Albany on Dec. 8th to get the Catheter Venogram to get unblocked. Otherwise known as the CCSVI procedure for MS.

All my veins will be tested while I am on the table, like the Azygous vein in the chest. During the procedure, my Dr. will balloon them open or stent if needed.

We had a few days of vacation and I got the Flu and a UTI. I am on Anti-b's for the bacterial ear infection and UTI. My MS is trying to relapse. It doesn't like the fever or infection. Always something! :grouphug:

Awwww......there always has to be some bad news with the good in our lives with MS.:( Hopefully the flu won't be too bad and the UTI will clear up soon. What a way to spend a vacation.:(

But.....Congratulations on being brave enough to give the Liberation a try!!! I sure hope and pray you'll see a BIG change for the better!! Please let us know how you make out with before and after reports. It sounds hopeful, but I wonder if it would be successful with spms? Good luck!! :)

Lady, that's awesome you're being seen for CCSVI and getting the procedure done. I hope it has positive effects for you!

I hope you feel better with everything else - MS, UTI, fever... you poor thing! :( :hug: Thinking of you.

Good luck Lady

You sure deserve a break. I hope that all goes wel, and that it has a positive effect on your MS.

congratulations and good luck. please come back with all the details for us. :hug:

Congratulations on being able to give this a try! I hope and pray it gives you the relief you're seeking. Please give us a follow-up report. We'll all be sitting on the edge of our seats waiting! I'm excited for you and can't wait for the results. You're in my prayers. :hug:

Thank you for your well wishes. I'm not going anywhere. I'll always be around here, so you will get the up-to-date reports. The good, the bad, and the not so ugly. ;)

I appreciate your kind words. The anti-b's are kicking in. My bladder is no longer on fire and having painful spasms, with little to no results. :eek: That was a mean one. The fever is down some. I am trying not to stress out and have a relapse.
Love ya guys and gals :grouphug:
