My Inspration for Liberation!


Hope

I first heard about the CCSVI Liberation procedure back in November of 2009. There was so much going thru the internet it was almost overwhelming! The more I thought about it, the more it made sense to me. I made a personal choice on March 27, 2010 that would be the last injection I did to myself.. I had been on Betaseron for the past 6 years, and prior to that Avonex for 5. When I think back on it now, I never had a good day, always felt like I had been run over by a mack truck, took all I had to get thru my day. After being off all the drugs for the past 4 months, I honestly think I can say I have felt better in general. I have submitted a request to have Angioplast done here in the U.S., and if I am not satisfied with the results there, I will be going to Cabo. The more I think about it, I almost wish that I had chosen to go to Cabo, because I would probably already have a date set, and know when my angio was going to be done. (Boils down to having that much $ to go to Cabo)!! This will give me time to raise some funds in case that I do go to Cabo. I have 2 other friends that I have know for 0ver 35 years that both have MS, and are both schedule to have the procedure done here in the US also, I am to be the 2nd one, so after my first friend has her's done, I will know more what to expect. I met a new friend a couple weeks ago that has been to Cabo and is having amazing results of improvement!! Gives me HOPE that this will at least give me a better quality of life to be able t to do things with my grandson's and family! Time flies by so fast, that I should be hearing the date soon!

Where do I start!

This will be the beginning of my life with my wonderful diagnoses with MS. The last 11 years have been a whirl wind of trying times, many good and many bad. I will start off here, and fill in the blanks for the past decade to where I am now in my life. And all the great things that I have in my life and the ups and downs I have experienced. This is going to take me a while, and I will have to do some real thinking, so that this can all be passed down to my friends and family!
