California Dreaming

I was so wrong about insurance coverage for the liberation procedure. First, I learned that ultrasound is as good or better than MRI and way cheaper. Second, people are getting insurance coverage for the procedure and the diagnostic ultrasounds. Wow, that is SOOOO great! The analogy was treating the problem as blocked veins; if your legs have blocked veins, insurance covers opening them. Blocked veins from the brain are just more blocked veins. Now the movement can really get some momentum. Let the games begin!

I continue to feel good. Sometimes really good and sometimes just good. I am so lucky. I had my first dream this morning. I really liked that. I think that is my first dream in over a year.

I can move a little more freely; I am a little bit more flexible. It is subtle but there are definite changes. My feet are more flat on the ground--I feel sturdier. My hip doesn't hurt and I walk faster.I still get tired a lot and quite easily but can do more and more. When I'm tired, I feel like I used to feel. When I awake in the morning, the improvements are most noticeable.

I'm looking forward to a dream tonite.

IT'S HAPPENING

Wow, the information available on CCSVI on the internet is truly amazing! I have to admit: I did not research this topic as well as I could have. I did not read the study from Poland before my procedure. I did not realize all the excitement combined with incredible knowledge that is coming out of Georgetown. I am just reading them now and I can hardly contain myself. There is so much data available on CCSVI from around the world. I acted more on a deep gut feeling that CCSVI was real and was my path to healing. I was a little desperate as I felt myself sliding over the last year and didn't feel right with the auto-immune drugs. CCSVI just made sense to me; really good sense. Now reading the data, I am so excited for huge numbers of people to get healed/opened/freed! After doing a little research, it seems that nearly all people with definite MS have CCSVI. It also seems that people with MS who have the procedure have less flairs over time and a better quality of life. Some get a lo...

Liberation

It is now 3 days after "Liberation Day". Sunday afternoon 12:30 pm. February 28th, 2010. Three days ago, Dr. Mohsin Saeed at Scripps Clinic opened my left jugular vein with angioplasty and my right jugular vein with angioplasty followed by a stent. The procedure is called by its inventor, Dr. Paolo Zamboni, The Liberation Procedure. It is a revolutionary treatment for an old, disabling disease -- Multiple Sclerosis. Until about 3 months ago, the only theory I knew about MS was that it was an autoimmune disease which attacked and destroyed myelin, the external coating around nerves. For unknown reasons, nerve conduction was slowed while plaques formed in the brain. It was always unclear why or when attacks would happen but they did and were difficult to control. Modern medicine responded with anti-inflammatory drugs and immune suppressants following the line of reasoning that if the disease was caused by an immune response, then stopping the immune response would stop the dise...
