Day 18 – Something New.
Many MS patients complain about a high pitched ringing in their ear. I’ve had this so long that I had gotten used to it. Last night I noticed that the ringing was gone.

Day 16
It’s now the 16th day since the procedure and have to tell you that I’m still feeling great. Have I noticed any new improvements? It’s hard to say. I know my reflexes are great, my eyes focus on objects quickly and I can notice growing muscle strength in my legs. People are humored by me when I get up to get something and do so quite quickly. My mind is still clear (at least that’s my opinion), I can talk without fumbling for words, and my balance is back to near normal.
Not bad for something that is described by many as placebo. I wonder when the placebo wears off?

Gerry Peters
I just no if the face change is for the better. I used to get a lot more pity.

Drove car
Passed my first test drive. I drove car for the first time in 4 years. My vision and reflexes kept me from doing so before but felt alert and safe. Talk about liberation.

thanks David. i love the Mr. Peters
You are going to a great place for the treatment. I’m not sure whether you or your wife is receiving the treatment but can only assure you of the good care you will receive. If you want to ask any questions, you can contact us. With MS there’s nothing too personal. My contact info is on my about Gerry page

Thank you to all that have been following my blog. It has been an amazing adventure and one that will continue. We arrived home last night and then hosted a party of around 30 people today. Normally I would have been avoiding all activity for a few days just because of the trip…but I’m feeling well.
I will be continuing to add to this blog in the months ahead so that my ongoing recovery is documented and so that other MS patients will have a reference point. I’m open to questions and conversation to anyone.
Oh, and I’ll have to change the title of this blog…your ideas are welcome

Brian Marson
A suggestion for blogs new name: “keeping Gerry’s feet in gear” – Brian in Ottawa
-
Yvonne
Another suggestion for a new name “Gerry’s feet were made for walking” – Yvonne
-
Bob
OK I agree with Yvonne, with a little bit of a change.. These boots are made for walking, and that’s just what they’ll do……… Nancy Sinatra.

Nice news on the pain front Gerry! Hope to see you Sunday. Don’t crash the plane with your dancing up and down the aisles. That would suck.

DAY 5 after treatment. Doing well. The day after surgery I started to cut back on the pain medication that I’ve been taking. I used to take the maximum dosage of a nerve pain blocker that the Pill Gurus advise. That was not enough so I took a second prescription drug as a complement. My primary drug has been cut by 2/3, and the compliment drug in half. I FEEL NO PAIN!!
About three months back I tried to cut back on nerve pain blockers but the pain was so severe I could barely work. No one would be able to explain why an MS patient’s pain is reduced by this procedure, but it does.
We arrive home late tomorrow night. Until then…

More Pictures!
Good morning! Many of you are asking for more videos…. so we hope to upload his actual procedure video and another update video today… so stay tuned!
We are well, enjoying the resort, recovering nicely from our jelly fish stings from yesterday.Here are a few pictures from the last few days including the two kinds of jelly fish that stung us. Mom and went to the beach last night and acted like 14 year olds. I included those for your viewing pleasure as well! Enjoy! Tanya

Gerry Peters
Day three after procedure – took a taxi to the main swimming beach, we were all stung by jelly fish, walked around town and shopped for groceries then sat at the pool for the last 5 hours. I still have energy. WOW. I had too much sun, but the energy is still there. That’s compared to a few minutes in the sun before I came here. Hope I don’t spend it all here in Mexico.
We will be receiving a DVD of the whole procedure. Apparently you can see where the blockages were, the angioplasty and how the blood flow was dramatically improved. Hope we can get some of that on this blog.

Mary
Hello,
My name is Mary. My husband John and I are arriving at La Marina Fiesta Resort in Mexico September 4, 2010. He is so nervous, has been following Gerry’s journey and hopes for great success like Gerry. Is their any information that we should know that they haven’t provided to us?
We have been thrilled to read the wonderful progression and see the photos…CONGRATULATIONS GERRY!!

Gerry Peters
Hi Mary. Just happened to be online and saw your post. I don’t think my good success is what they would consider the average. They’ve told me that my improvement is the best they’ve seen. Everyone that has come here has seen results and all have said (so as we’ve been told) that they were happy they had come. The health care cannot be compared to Canada or US. The surgeons and doctors are here for you and very serious about making sure that you are satisfied. No one should be nervous for coming in that regard. MS patients and those that come with them meet with a variety of Doctors. they are all very professional and empathetic. You are made to feel like the center of attention.

liz
Hi Gerry, So happy to hear your wonderful result! I know your sister Lovella and that is how I have followed your journey. My husband is a doctor here in Canada and has some question about the procedure you had done. Is it possible to email you?
Hi Liz: Glad you contacted me. We would be more than happy to speak with you and your husband and answer any questions that he may have. We have emailed you our contact information. Right now we’re still in Mexico and arrive home this weekend. Blessings. Gerry

Wow. We are so excited and thankful. This is better even than we had hoped. Can’t wait for you to get back home so we can see the improvement first hand. Have some fun with the rest of your time there.

Gerry;
That is incredible news that you are sharing with the world! I rejoice with you in the progress you have made and am sharing this with a close friend whose wife has first stage MS. I definitely prayed for you when Chrissie spoke about your going to Cabo. We are believing with you for a complete recivery.

Gerry;
I am thanking the Lord for the good news that Chrissie brought to Church last sunday and so we remembered you in prayer. May the Lord give you a complete recovery because you have so much to share with a broken and suffering world.
Ray 6:05 pm on August 31, 2010 Permalink
Gerry;
I rejoice with you in the progress that you have made in your recovery and want you to know that Chrissie shared the news of your journey to Cabo and that since then I have prayed with you about the
procedure. May the Lord give you full recovery because you have so much yet to share.
Ray 6:06 pm on August 31, 2010 Permalink
Gerry;
You were prayed for in Cabo and it’s exciting to hear you speak of the answers.
Ray 6:08 pm on August 31, 2010 Permalink
Gerry;
You were well prayed for when you were down in Cabo and it’s praise time to hear of the good news!

Hi Gerry! Reading your story brings tears to my eyes as my mother has progressive advanced MS. I have been trying to get more information so we can get her in for this treatment as soon as possible. My parents are missionaries at Lake of the Trees Bible Camp in BC. I would be SO grateful if you could help me out by giving me any information that will help get her in for this treatment.
Congratulations on your Liberation! God Bless you and your family!
Jayde 8:28 am on September 2, 2010 Permalink
I’ve enjoyed sharing your journey with you. It’s so exciting whenever we hear a new improvement. I wanted to let you know that I’ve forwarded your YouTube videos to my cousin, who is a vascular surgeon in Canada.
Gerry Peters 9:04 am on September 2, 2010 Permalink
thanks Jayde and all:
On September 8th it will be one month since the procedure and I continue to feel stronger. There has definitely been nerve damage and so a smaller amount (about 1/3) of the pain medication is still needed. Other than that my energy is way up, my mind is clear and my reflexes have improved quite dramatically.
Thanks for forwarding this to your cousin.

Hi Joy-Lynn
I’m glad my story can encourage others. I continue to improve in areas of strength and mobility. I would certainly encourage every MS patient to study this treatment option. I also hope and pray for your mother’s best.
I went to Los Cabos for a variety of reasons and I’m glad I did. What you can do is go to their website at http://www.cardioabroad.com/testimonials.php. You`ll read other testimonies of MS patients. If interested, just send them an email and ask your questions. You could certainly mention my name – it may get a quicker response.
I`ve found a lot of info on this facebook, http://www.facebook.com/pages/CCSVI-at-UBC-MS-Clinic-Information-and-Support/182832983940 This Facebook is local and full of info. If you ask a question there you will get a great response.
Another site I found useful was http://ccsvi-ms.ning.com There is a wealth of info, including videos, stories and locations that are having this treatment done.
Other than this, you can certainly contact me personally and we could talk. If you`re interested in that, email me or send a facebook message and i`ll give you my phone number.
Sure hope this helps some
All the best! Gerry
