Hello to all,
I have been watching all the videos and following the forums. Interesting stuff. I have been battling with a plethora of symptoms for 12 years. I went from running the ironman to beeing just barely able to work. Very inetrested in what I have read and watched. I have been a flight nurse and advanced parcatice nurse for 23+ years and have spent huge amounts of time researching in our health systems libraries on diagnosis and topics trying to put it all togerther…. I have had a variety of other positive labs (low ferritin, very high ANA’s, low B6, Low Vit D) Trying to put it all together. I do have an MRV scheduled for 2 weeks. Very intersting to see others with the same and Dr D’s take on the link.

Hi qanik, Do you have a copy of The Driscoll Theory? Are you on any mast cell meds? Diamox? I’m pulling together a research paper for publication that will be of great interest to most of us, I think. I will say, if you missed the video about “should I treat my CCSVI”, I would strongly encourage you to wait for the research paper (at a minimum) before treating venous problems (like CCSVI) with angioplasty. I think we can and NEED to do better, and seeing your high ANA’s hints that you don’t want to cause damage to your vascular endothelium. It just gets everything inflammatory all stirred up sometimes. I hate to talk so indirectly (but must, prior to publication). Again, I got out The Driscoll Theory as soon as I figured out some of this, but will need to wrap up trials for our next step (COMING SOON). Oh, if you want/can share any images from your MRV, that would be tremendous. Hang in, 🙂 Diana
