I have been wanting to write about this topic for awhile, ever since I heard the experience described by one person on a radio show. This woman described how she saved her money and got treated for chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI), using a balloon venoplasty procedure that is often referred to as "Liberation treatment." She spoke of feeling clearheaded, having energy, feeling like she got a second chance after MS had stolen so very much from her. Then, one by one, her symptoms began returning. She began limping again. She lost much of the coordination that she had gained.
Once again, she was tired. She was also sad. She had experienced what her life would have been like without MS, now it was back.
