Another One

Might as well say it here. The Limbo blog, my other one I hope not to post on it to much in future, so I've started a 3rd one that can be reached from my profile.I won't say much on this one. It's just going to be my terrible drawings that act as a release when I can't be out.
This is all probably a bit silly having 3 blogs, but it does help to an extent if that makes sense.
On the subject of getting out, I'm really looking forward to my next outing which will be a bit different to previous ones and isn't far away now.

Maybe......?

I saw the  news report about the possible link between CCSVI and MS today on BBC news and then found the Sky news report on You Tube via the MS Society website. The definition of CCSVI is from Wikipedia. 
Maybe this could be a breakthrough and a widening of the said veins could be an effective treatment for MS. 


 YouTube - BREAKING NEWS: MS Society comments on CCSVI announcement live on Sky News

Chronic cerebro-spinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI) is a recently proposed syndrome in which the cervical and thorac veins are not able to remove efficiently the blood from the central nervous system (CNS).
It is hypothesized to be due to stenosis of the jugular and azygos veins. Such a vascular picture has been described by Paolo Zamboni in 2008, who also reported an association of CCSVI with multiple sclerosis (MS). In a later double blinded study, a significative correlation was found between MS and CCSVI[1].
