I am not very good at keeping my promises apparently. I have not written for quite some time. I had the first procedure done December 7 2010 in Los Cabos Mexico, I had wonderful results some that have stayed longer than others. My mind is much better I can remember things, most of the time, and I am able to pay attention to a person as I do not hear a constant annoying white noise all the time anymore. I was able to enjoy the hot weather for a brief period of time, but the best was sleeping like a baby and my intestines were working properly again. Oh yeah I almost forgot but when i went to see my MS Opthamologist he said he doesn't need to see me anymore because I have no MS in my eyes now that is something to celebrate no MS? does that mean increased blood flow healed the optic neuritis? I do not know but my eyes are cured.
Anyway when things are doing so well with a body that was not working properly before I tended not to want to write a blog I wanted to get stuff done. I was able to laugh again I actually enjoyed being in groups of people the noise didn't annoy me I was able to keep up to conversations and well it was just a great feeling. I could walk by myself and the vertigo was almost gone the LHermitte's was completely gone. So we tried to enjoy ourselves and do some things I could not do for a long time.
In January of 2012 I noticed several small symptoms creeping back and I started to panic my life was far from perfect but it was so much better and I did not want to lose that. I began researching again and I found an IR one closer to me, only a three hour drive, in Seattle and made a decision that I was going to need to do this angioplasty for CCSVI again so I got myself booked in for April 17 2012. This time I was going to have more veins looked at and treated if necessary and it turned out that both my IJV were 70% narrowed my Azygous was 50% my right Renal and Iliac veins were also both 50%. After this quick jot down to Seattle I came home and kind of felt a bit worse, I thought oh shit what have I done? Well with some much needed rest and time to allow my veins to heal I started to feel better again. Whoo Hoo I made the right choice for me yet again....

clinic has money, disappointing follow up
Would have been drafted April or May 2012
I realize it has been quit awhile since I last wrote, my treatment in Mexico went very well, I immediately gained at least 10 years of my life back. Some of the improvements were short lived and others stayed for quit sometime. Things like my eyes were 100% better were as the pain in my back began to bother me again within 3 months. Obviously I was feeling better enough to not have time to write this blog.
When I went to Mexico the only veins treated were my IJV so I have been researching for quite sometime to see where I would be going next and after considerable research I choose to go to VAC to be treated by Dr. McGuckin, the reason I choose him was because he was very thorough in checking and treating various veins. So in April of this year 2012 I went to Tukwila Washington to see him.
My experience at VAC was a great one in the beginning the nurses are fantastic and the clinic was clean and everyone there seemed wonderful. Once prepped with my intravenous and pre meeting with doctor McGuckin things still seemed to be going unbelievably well.
Okay my symptoms going into VAC were. difficulty starting to release urine, weak right leg, extreme back pain around T12 and in the Lumbar zone. T12 happens to be were the Hemiazygous starts and I have an MRV that shows possible blockage in the Hemiazygous vein. I was concerned about May Thurner syndrome and wanted my entire azygous system treated as well as the iliac system. So basically I went to have the Azygous system done along with the Iliacs and it does not hurt to check the rest. My memory is OK I could deal with it I just had to write important things down but it would have been nice if it improved. Keep in mind I am low on the disability score 4.0 and I had incredible results in Mexico where they only treated the IJVs.

Wow was I ever sad back then, I am glad to say I had some of the best results from the CCSVI procedure. I guess you could say that and facebook are a couple of the reasons I stopped writing. CCSVI gave me my life back so I do not spend as much time on the computer, and when I did I was networking and researching. To be honest after reading what I wrote 6 years ago, I don;t think I will ever stop blogging maybe not every week but when I have time and thoughts to share or save I will, this is kind of like a diary. Hopefully give a basic review of the past 6 years soon. :))
