Tomorrow will be 11 weeks since my Liberation. I continue to feel better. My improved energy has persisted. My neurologic legs which have always been difficult for me to describe are definitely improving. I walk a few miles every day including hills. I am usually sore in the morning but this resolves with time and stretching. I ride my bike 3-4 times a week and my distance and ability to tolerate hills is improving. In short, I am getting into shape. It is not that easy(never was) but I am experiencing steady improvement and that feels SO great. I work with a great physical therapist(Ralph Havens) who ever encourages me to keep improving and be open to more healing and freedom. I am not running yet but still hold this as a definite possibility.
My sleep is better than prior to the procedure. I used to take 2 medicines to sleep(Remeron 30 mg and Ativan 1 mg). I am now off Ativan but still take Remeron. I think this medicine helps with my obsessiveness so I am continuing it for now. I take Plavix and a baby aspirin every day to keep my veins open. I take 10,000 units of Vitamin D a day and try to get unprotected sun nearly every day for at least a few minutes. I probably get more unprotected sun than I should but I have always loved the sun and thought of it as the fuel of life. I take 3 fish oil gelcaps a day.
My mood and spirits are generally good. I love feeling better and having energy. I love feeling that my body and mind are improving rather than slowly and steadily declining. I like very much to read about the CCSVI debate and about others who are embarking on this journey. I feel for the many people with Multiple Sclerosis who have trouble accessing this new approach. It is amazing how the medical world can be so closed sometimes. It is truly exciting to hear of people breaking down the walls that the authoritarian powers put up. I was extremely fortunate to be a doctor and able to push myself through a non-supportive system.
Because I feel SO much better(like I used to feel), I now have options open to me that were previously closed. I now can dream of doing things professionally that were just not possible before when I battled fatigue and progressive loss of vitality and endurance. My veins are open; my deficits are resolving and my heart is truly grateful.

I know you must be ''overfload'' with questions but... please, I'm going to be liberated soon (in Poland or Costa Rica), it's sure. I just can wait!!
My question is about STENTS. De yourself have some? As we know, they're another case of ''stent migration''. I wonder if I should have the liberation without stent? (I know tha stetonis will reappear too much soon, but it will give me a little time to wait for Canadian Gouvernment to maybe accept to liberation in Canada?
With stent, I unger to be sitten on a ''bombe à retardement'', a bit like MS, so....
Had they get better for the veins by now? And I also would appreciate your comments on stents.
Thanks a lot,
Nicole
