I talked to Dr. Hatch yesterday. He said he has been studying my images and found my jugular vein is significantly narrowed right at the valve at the top of the vein. He didn't notice it at first because it is common for valves to be narrower than the rest of the vein, but not this much. He also found a couple places in my azygos vein (the one that drains the spine) that are narrowed and can be opened also.
It is good news that he found something to fix. My next venogram is scheduled for November 22, the Monday before Thanksgiving. I plan on taking it easier this time during recovery. The last venogram through me for a loop. I should feel better within a week or two and hopefully I will have more energy and stop the progression of MS. Wahoo!
3 is the azygos vein.
I guess mine isn't nice and smooth like that if it has a couple of narrow spots.

Good luck with everything. I hope it works out for you this time!
I'm so glad you are not taking this lying down. I hope it goes better this time. Way to do your research and find out about breaking science. You are amazing!
