not to mean any demeanor; but there is no 'left' nor 'right' azygos vein. That why it is called so.
The examination of both internal jugular veins demonstrates normal venous flow characteristics in the right jugular vein and diminished respiratory phasicity in the left internal jugular vein without findings of reflux or occlusion.
The examination of the vertebral veins demonstrates sustained end-expiratory reflux in the left mid-vertebral vein in the supine position with normal venous flow characteristics in the right vertebral vein in the supine position and normal emptying of both vertebral veins in the upright position.”
The technician played back the images recorded and I viewed the test on the monitor (they also burned it on a CD for me). The vein that was to appear as ‘blue’ appeared as ‘red’ almost 80% of the time in the supine position, and steady blue when I was sitting up. We did not test at an inclined position.
It was my suggestion that I sleep sitting up and the technician thought it wouldn't hurt to try.
I slept last evening on my back about 90% reclined on a ‘Wall-Away’ La-Z-Boy that inclines virtually horizontal. My symptoms this morning were good, so I will continue with this for a few weeks.
This video is from Stanford, It is very comprehensive, yet fails to identify how gravity can be used to reduce the insufficiency, Varicose veins, associated oedema and complications.
It also shows how alternatives are mocked by surgeons.

Andrew-I'm not diagnosed with MS yet but have all the symptoms and have been in major downward/non functional homebound state for the past 3 months. I'm getting checked out again for MS (been on this journey for past 3 years). May also be Lyme disease induced MS.
I raised my bed 3" Sunday night-- I have had dizziness going on as part of this horrific 3 month journey I've been on anyway but today/midde of the night became so dizzy I could hardly walk at times......I've not had that before.
I see you mention dizziness-- do you think this increase is due to the IBT and will straighten out? On the good side I've noticed my arms not getting as numb at night-- downside noticed more spreading of numbness on my left side that started a month ago.
