Why does treatment help so fast ?

I'm like that too, Leonard, it's why I focus on the glucose side of CCSVI! It might tie in to heat intolerance too; glucose levels in the blood vary more dramatically when it's hot outside, it's something that diabetics have to take into account in the summer. I am also trying now to have some light protein before I go to bed, since sleep is in particular a "danger" time with poor blood flow. If you read Cheer's research on REM sleep, it tied into this because REM sleep takes a lot of glucose and in glucose-deprived brains, it could be why some pwMS report not dreaming and why some liberatis report a return of dreams.

Cece, you are right, sleep is in particular a danger time with poor blood flow. but then, why have some light protein before you go to bed? and what is that, what should I think of?

Thanks AMcG. Educating oneself is so much easier with this interweb thing. Ask a question and you get to see the main man (Prof Zamboni) talking about the subject. I will post again when I have studied the seminar.
In my day educating oneself was much slower - microfiche was the best available technology !!!

Leonard, just saw that, for me it's just that I tend to eat dinner around 6 but maybe not go to bed until midnight, so I consciously eat something before bed so that it's not such a long fast before breakfast. It was actually advice I'd read when I was pregnant to avoid morning sickness, to keep the blood sugar more stable I suppose. My particular snacks might be a glass of milk, leftover chicken, my workout protein drink, chips...shhh on that last one... No RCT has been done on my midnight snack choices, alas....

Mr. Success

Constant baseless accusations are not part of a good debate.
