Time and time again I receive letters from folks like this: "Dear Ginger, I had my angio two weeks ago and still no improvements."

This is my response:

Great to hear about your angio. I am sorry you haven’t noticed any immediate improvements but there are no guarantees, unfortunately. When I went to Poland I told myself that if the treatment just stopped my attacks and progression I would be content. If you think about the research around CCSVI and what they have found I am not surprised that many people felt no immediate improvements. Bad or no blood flow was causing a reflux of deoxygenated blood to be forced back up into your brain. Over time this created iron build up which in turn caused inflammation. The inflammation signaled your immune system to go up to your brain and "fix" it. SO then the blood brain barrier jump occurred as the vein walls were weakened in your brain due to the reflux. PRESTO! MS! This all did not happen over night. Why do we all expect to be 100% over night then? I was very lucky to get benefits right away but some didn’t come until months later like my bladder spasms going away. By having the angio you just fixed a major vascular issue in your body! The fact is you may have more blockages throughout your body that they didn’t even look for. BUT you stopped the reflux into your brain. YOU ARE CURED OF CCSVI! Now you need to go to physio religiously. Exercise at the gym at least 3 X a week. You need to drink lots of water every day. Look into increasing your vitamin D intake to 10,000 IU's per day.(check with your GP) Go on the Swank MS diet or other MS diets and sleep inclined every night. (Google inclined bed therapy) Don’t expect that by just having angio you will be 100%. Our bodies need help and time to heal themselves. If you truly want to get better then do EVERYTHING possible to help your body. There is also a chance of re-stenosis so getting proper follow up and after care are essential.
