Hi Momdukes,
I hope that you are able to find resolution at your appointment tomorrow. The whole CCSVI research is considering what the circulatory system role is in MS. As you may know, Dr. Paolo Zamboni performed the angioplasty on the jugular/aortic to the brain. The theory being that these clogged arteries relate directly to the t-cells crossing the blood brain barrier. It's offered a great deal of hope in the MS community; and there are some who have had successes with the treatment. As far as further circulatory issues, I'm not sure that there is a connection. I hope your Dr. has more info to offer. Whatever the case may be, I hope you are able to resolve these other issues.
Please keep us posted!
Best,
Amy
