Thank you for this Kerri !
for the uninitiated:
Chronic cerebro-spinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI) is a term used to describe compromised flow of blood in the veins draining the central nervous system. It has been hypothesized to play a role in the cause of multiple sclerosis (MS)
Truncular venous malformations include azygous stenosis, defective jugular valves and jugular vein aneurysms.
Personally, I have had ‘liberation’ treatment – recommend checking your veins!!
Good work Kerri.
@kkkkkkatherine Thanks Katherine – You still doing well?
@MrMarkafisher Nah – it was nothing, I just pressed the buttons – Helen did some good work to get this on the radio
Thanks for uploading this Kerri!!!
@kezzcass ..thanks for asking-you’re SWEET!!
…I am doing fairly well…but as my local Vas.Surgeon was ‘new at liberation’, I DO hope to be re-venoplastied by more expert doc in future…my Left ankle/foot has returned to even increasing degree of Swelling…had been ‘normal’ for weeks after liberation…I DO KNOW ‘Liberation’ Venoplasty IS Part of the Solution for MS
@kkkkkkatherine I hope you can find that more expert Vascular Specialist. It helps to know that treatment has made a difference I think. Until you’ve had it done it is hard to understand what it is like to have your blood flow properly.
Thanks Kerri & Helen. This is one of my favourite radio shows which I haven’t listened to for a while. Will have to resume listening after hearing this:)
Hi Kerri. Thanks for the video/audio. A lot of great information! I just wonder what the reasons were for the dislikes that you got for this? We want help, we want a resolution, we want a life! Take care, Bill
@tazscott14 Ah well, I guess there are people who don’t agree – that’s ok. I got a dislike for my puppy video too so go figure! Hope you are doing well Bill.
