My ultrasound show jugular blockage
Have not been here in a while but after 12 years of MS, this is exciting stuff. My radioogist found blockage in my right jugular vein and a kink in the left one. I will proceed with further tests, inlcuding a CT scan with contrast and an MRV (MRI for the veinss).

How do you deal with bouts of anxiety?
I am curious: How do you deal with bouts of anxiety? I do not mean petty anxiety but real anxiety where you feel overwhelmed? I know there are professionals but isn't it normal to feel like this when you're going through a hard time?
