Grapefruit no, grape seed extract lol.

Sorry.

I am going to try to pump each size individually and put my opinion on this thread within two weeks. I think trying new alternatives may help us to figure out what is not working....

Oh God, you really should not make yourself a guinea pig!  I already have and can speak from experience: do very light pumping, mostly massage.  If you have a small frame, you are best not pumping at all!

So I had an interesting test done on me today monitoring my pulse and blood pressure on both wrists.  Ironically my left wrist showed a much stronger pulse (I can't remember what the blood pressure difference was).  It is implying that there is no damage going from the heart down to my hand, but that it is having much trouble coming back up.  This also explains why my veins on my left arm are barely visible.  Still so many tests to be done even though I feel I have narrowed it down to what it is: peripheral neuropothy (nerve damage) and vasculitis (vein damage).  I am happy that it is showing such an imbalance though because that further proves to the doctors physical evidence that something is wrong.

What my main concern is, how do I stop this from getting worse and how can I begin to heal??
