I did hit the ground running when I returned, and stress issues popped up as they always do when you have a big family. I had some back slide days, but the past 3 days I've notice I regained what little I lost and then some. It just goes to show that it takes time to heal.
And....heal we will! The fight for others still waiting for the procedure will go further, and faster with many of us tapping into new found energy and mental clarity. I'm so pleased to see more and more places opening to treat persons with CCSVI. But, we still have to fight to make this available in our home areas, and insist on proper training for those who will be treating people.
I agree with Joan that many Interventional Radiologists are just waiting, anxiously to help us with our vascular issues, it is after all their area of expertise. Unfortunately we have to do battle on their behalf as well, to be allowed to practice their profession to the fullest.
Some new changes I noticed:
my 'bad' hand is slowly improving.
I sleep better
My ability to focus clearly on things I'm reading or talking about has greatly improved
My ability to make decisions, quickly and with confidence has returned (I swear I had too many days this past year where I couldn't even decide what to wear for the day)
I think my eyes have improved, my glasses are driving me nuts! need to go to the eye doc to have that checked very soon.
I feel 'happier' in general, and handle stressors and conflicts much better than I have in years.
It seems i have to take stock once in a while, really sit and think and then I notice there are more things coming to the surface. My husband will also mention things I hadn't noticed, so how can anyone attribute that to 'placebo'?
