Study suggests CCSVI could be symptom of MS (Topix)
 

A new study suggests that those suffering from severe cases of multiple sclerosis have greater problems draining blood from their brain, and raises questions about whether that condition is a cause or a symptom of MS.

Cue it.... NO WAY!! :eek: :D

REally? why havent we heard of this before now?? :confused::p

lmao!!!!!!!!

I'm just in awe of our medical research community...........:rolleyes:

So quick to respond...lmao!

IMO, I have always felt that CCSVI was a symptom or an entirely different disease process and not a cause. Some of us have it and some of us don't and the data presented in this study supports that.

DOH!! To quote Homer Simpson.

Three years to finally make a connection. The theory has been around for 100 years. Even Charcot thought there was a Venous Component involved with Multiple Sclerosis. :rolleyes:

They are still in the pioneering stages, to sort things out, until everyone is on the same page with the criteria, testing, treatment, medication, and aftercare follow up.

It is similar to diagnosing MS, IMO. They have to rule out all the rest, do the criteria testing, do a history, exam, and then....."Wait and See." :rolleyes:

Some people can't wait, some people don't choose to wait, so they will just have to deal with that.

Montel Williams said, he was looking into CCSVI, now that he is progressing. His fans have been asking him and he finally answered them. He is going for testing he said, to see if he has CCSVI. :)

It could be good thing to have a celebrity decide to get the CCSVI procedure. Will his outcome be believed? Hmm
