CCSVI vs MS


Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency means cognitive fog,spasticicity,limited mobility and cognitive fog
Those with such symptoms are often diagnosed as having MS
To seek treatment,such patients often go to Poland,Bulgaria,Costa Rica,India etc
because effective treatment is unsupported in the United States
Almost all MS patients have CCSVI-diagnoses come via Doppler Ultrasound,MRIs and Catheter Venography
Treatment options include Venoplasty ,Angiography,and Stenting
As an outpatient procedure,stenting  only takes two hours
MS involves ALS,Dementia,Chronic Fatigue and Parkinson's Disease
Neurologists are largely negative towards procedures involving CCSI
With an aging population,such ignorance becomes dangerous
SO-
WHAT RACHEL DID(when diagnosed with MS symptoms
Tried Avonex (an interferon)injected once a week for eight years.
(After the seventh year,it had no effect)
Infused steroids in times of flare-ups
Tried a raw food diet,including raw meat
For two years,practiced ayurveda
Utilized Feldenkrais(movement education)
Tried a gluten and diary free diet
Injected Copaxone(interferon)for two years
Tried Tysabri injections once a month
Ingested many supplements
Tried biofeedback
Took LDN for two years
Saw ten different interventional radiologists
With the first,tried angioplasty of her left jugular vein
With the second ,tried a venogram(to check for IIH(Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension)
With the third,tried a spinal tap
With the fourth,tried angioplasty of her right jugular vein
The fifth used angioplasty to open her right jugular vein
After some improvement,regression via restenosis
Tried valvoplasty as well as angioplasty
Tried Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy-effective but for Optic Neutitis
All of these responses are a continuing journey towards liberation from MS symptoms
Education as essential as solutions for those experiencing any of these symptoms..
