BBB Question

Post by WoodPharm »

So I believe I have read somewhere that in MS the Blood Brain Barrier breaks down, correct me if I'm wrong. So I guess my question is, when/ if the BBB "breaks down" or w/e does this mean its going to stop meds from working properly by not getting thru the BBB or does it mean that drugs can be much more effective?

the way i was kinda thinking was if the BBB essentially works like "wall" then as it breaks down it would allow more things in, right? BUT.... If its like a
wire on a circuit board, if it were to "break down" then less would get through, less would work...?

hope that makes sense!

there are so many references to the BBB on thisisms...

You can start foraging info on the CCSVI forum... I found a quickie for you below.
