I have secondary progressive MS with PPMS first diagnosed in 1992. It has been a slow decline and now I have constant headache and vertigo. Ringing in the ears and weakness on my right side. I can still walk with a cane but I fall much more lately. The world is fuzzy and I am not a happy camper. Over the years I have discounted many of the theories about MS and did not allow myself to take encouragement from any of them. Bur CCSVI is different. To me it fits with everything I have read about the disease. If MS is caused by restricted blood flow plus say two other characteristics ocurring in the same person and fixing the blood flow fixes the problem….why do we care what the other characteristics are? Lets accept the cure and move on with our lives. I go to Sofia Bulgaria on June 1, 2010 for liberation. I had an MRV at Westmount in Montreal last week and both of my jugulars look like twisted garden hoses. $20 billion a year is a hefty reason for the drug companies to work against a cure and physicians who have travelled to countless medical “conferences” on sunny golf courses paid for by drug companies may be caught in the middle.
