after CCSVI

I was laid off from my job in March 2009. I had been employed by the same company since 1981.
I started working part-time in 2000.

I learned I had CCSVI in April 2010 and it was treated with angioplasty. My MS symptoms seemed to improve a lot - I grew stronger, despite being off MS drugs.

In the last 2 months or so I've felt weaker. An MRI revealed new and larger lesions on my spine and brain. An ultrasound showed my jugular veins were open and flowing [no CCSVI restenosis] .

I’d been feeling worse lately – weaker, more tired, so my neurologist sent me for an MRI. It revealed new lesions on my brain and spinal cord. So I scheduled an appointment with the doc that angioplasted my veins last year. An ultrasound showed my veins are open and flowing. That may sound like good news – I was hoping for them to be blocked and the reason for my relapse. Maybe I just need some pt to regain my strength.
