A Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency story

---

I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2002.  I had been ill with MS symptomology since a 2000 tick bite.  After only treating for MS for ten years, since 2002, in 2012 I was found to have Lyme disease (probably had it since 2000) and began proper antibiotic protocol at that time.

So, the way my lyme doctor puts it:  I had MS symptomology for 12 years.  It was really Lyme. 

Chronic Cerebral Venous Insufficiency (CCSVI) was diagnosed 2009 in Albany by a MRI of my veins in my neck and chest.  That lead to a CCSVI treatment 2011  That treatment made life wonderful again, for a short time!  And it made it clear that the problem was NOT full on MS but it was something else.

A chiropractor friend said it was unusual to have a fever with MS.  Yes.   So that is how I found my way to a Lyme doctor (to this day my primary care doctor believe I have MS and Not Lyme)

So I have become an expert, professionally actually, in MS, Lyme, Brain Injury, and Complex Trauma.
