More Will Be Revealed*
My friend Alicia sent me an article about a possible breakthrough in multiple sclerosis knowledge and treatment. It sounds interesting, although things don't usually pan out. Right now there's nothing for the type of m.s. I have (PPMS), which is ok, given that the treatments don't work and I couldn't afford them anyway, but this one, called CCSVI - chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency, is at least not limited to relapsing-remitting (the usual type of m.s. that sissies have ;-D).
A different article says, "Another important observation made by Zamboni's team is that the pattern of reflux, that is, the specific pathway the blood uses to flow back to the brain, showed a strong correlation to the type of MS. Persons with PPMS had a different reflux pattern that those with RRMS and SPMS. Furthermore, the PPMS reflux pattern provided a good explanation why this form of MS is more aggressive and problematic."
