You may be interested in reading a book called "Change Your Brain, Change Your Life" by Dr. Daniel Amen. In it, he offers some good tips on dealing with a variety of neurological problems including OCD.

Thanks for that resource! I have done some reading on the whole notion of rebuilding the pathways..makes sense to me. I will definitely have a look. The scary part is the ongoing damage that could be occurring (and irreversible) as we all wait for things to unfold with CCSVI.
