https://youtu.be/qolTBXG7NNU Rebecca taught me how to wake up my toes, and now it's paying big dividends for my calf pain. Some of my blood vessels are too big (abdominal aortic aneurysm, AAA) and some too small (peripheral arterial disease, PAD). Just wish they could get together, and work this thing out.

Peripheral Arterial Disease Ironman Therapy – Training Resumes With Psoriasis
Yes! I'm crazy, but I'm getting back after several weeks of Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine-triggered, psoriasis hell. Methotrexate is helping somewhat, but will have to increase dose of this anti-cancer drug.

Two images taken today and presented with the training week, lower on blog post, show lesions ... Read more

Marketing Runs The Medical Industry, So Advertise If You Are Purveying Something Of Value
Medical Industry? These are the people who save my life, that I am doing battle with, today! The medical industry is essentially a business in the USA. I'm afraid to let you know this, but doctors don't know everything. They know a lot, but not everything. They sure don't seem to understand acute morning heel pain, and they can't tell you how to live with aortic disease, either. That's your call, my aortic ... Read more
