Hey Diana,
Thanks for that. I’ve managed to obtain an Immunologists appointment late August, so I’ll give him the info and hope he’s ‘on the ball’, so to speak.

Just had a thought this evening but need to ask first, do we know why the villi don’t work ? It’s been proven that I have a certain level of Mitochondrial Dysfunction and I know Dr Paul Cheney’s work talks about Mitochondrial Dysfunction contributing to our heart problems. Could the villi be suffering from insufficient supply of energy, so that they are unable to keep up with bailing out the CSF at the rate required (it’s on a ‘go-slow’ so to speak) ?
Regards
