High Pressure

I had a trial run with my clinical trial equipment today. It’s an old-fashioned blood pressure cuff, which I have to inflate and deflate a number of times. The researchers are testing a theory that this can help alleviate post- stroke fatigue which is a very common problem with no known remedy or treatment. I start in earnest on Monday, and my programme involves 40 minutes a day for 5 days a week over 6 weeks, so not too onerous.
