Living the Experience

Here we feature CCSVI diagnosis and treatment experiences from the perspective of the patient, and also from a first-hand observer such as a close friend or family member. Not all CCSVI treatment stories result in (immediate) success for patients, and we share those accounts as well.

Christine's Perspective

Our first video patient perspective features Christine, who opened the recent Doctors' Roundtable in Chicago by sharing her experience with CCSVI.

Christine received her MS diagnosis on Nov. 16, 1990 - just four months after getting married and three months after starting law school. She received her first CCSVI treatment in September 2010 and her second treatment in December 2010. Christine continues to ride and care for her beloved horses, to work as an attorney, and to enjoy time with her husband and ten year old son.
