This is still a very controversial treatment and people should be aware of the risk involved with this surgery.

Thanks for posting this. Lots of risk out there, and people need to carefully consider it. Too bad they have not had the research they deserve, that would produce safer and more effective treatments.

I agree with lou, more research is needed including why the narrowing occurs and if it's permanent or improves with abx, herbal treatment.

Also jjblue has a point in that the connection between MS and Lyme should be investigated anytime this procedure is even considered by Doctors.
