VENOUS INSUFFICIENCY
Mastodon Post

My lower legs swell and this swelling is to be associated with a neurologic condition, Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, also known by the fantastically worse, newer name, CRPS. So, I searched on the question of whether Trump's venous insuffiency could stem from a neuroolgic cause. The answer I got is not to my satisfaction; but it interests me and it may interest a few other people out there. The results of my search are in the attachment. The passage at the page break which got somewhat mangled says,

CCSVI may lead to inflammation at the blood-brain barrier and disrupt the glymphatic system

[Google AI is trendy but wrong. "Neurologic" is the correct word in this usage. The American Neurological Association has a style guide(!) for writers which I checked and Google AI evidently didn't.]
