Interesting article about artery-widening neck patch
I read this in the Daily Mail yesterday; http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1375833/How-patch-neck-Alzheimers-bay.html . Very interesting - I wonder if a similar treatment could be developed for the veins in CCSVI? It could possibly be a solution to the scarring/clotting problems associated w...

I had my bed inclined for several months, through pieces of wood that my husband fixed to the bed, but got him to take them off around 3 months ago as I didn't feel it was working anymore, and I wanted a fancy headboard that didn't work with the inclined bed, and also I slept on a flat bed on holida...

I hear what you're saying about heat - I've experienced this too, but for me the issue is humidity more than temperature; I've holidayed in very hot but dry countries and have actually felt much better while there. It seems the university in the article has been using infrared saunas in its studies,...

Can Saunas be good for CCSVI?
I read an article today about saunas and blood flow; A daily 15-minute sauna could be the equivalent of taking regular exercise and save you from heart disease, Japanese scientists have found. Researchers at Kagoshima University discovered that two weeks after taking a sauna every day, a group of me...

Hi DenverCO. Do you mean that the thought of liberation/angioplasty/stents grosses you out? If so, I can certainly relate to that. I've always been squeamish about veins, and particularly ones that pulsate visibly and palpably such as those in the neck! For this reason I don't relish the thought of ...

That is nice to hear, and very encouraging! I have been feeling a bit disappointed/negative about the liberation procedure lately, after hearing about mostly non-positive experiences, so this has made me feel a bit more hopeful. Thanks for sharing this with us! (and it's always nice to hear some UK-...

I personally don't find the tracking sticky very 'reader friendly'; it is a bit tiresome wading through all the info on the entries to get to the important bit (ie whether liberation was successful or not!), and often you end up reading entries which detail cases that haven't even been tested or tre...
