Has anyone acually had CCSVI?

This continues to interest me, has anyone here actually had CCSVI England or abroad, I am yet to read of any real success stories, anyone had the jugular Dopla test?

I know of people that have had the treatment but in my opinion both showed no visual improvement.

Hi loulou, there is much debate weather vein restriction particularly in the jugulars is a cause of MS or in fact a result of MS. My personal opinion is that is a result of MS if there even is any correlation. A lot of people that have MS do not need CCSVI because they're blood flow is ok and a lot of people that do not have MS have constricted veins and need CCSVI, so there doesn't seem to be any "smoking gun" pointing in either direction. I know it's expensive and insurance doesn't pay for it and there are risks involved in the procedure that could lead to death. There are clinical trials going on now for it in the US so it will be interesting to see what they're findings are.
