Hi Malcolm. Sorry to hear you're having problems. I'm not sure why you couldn't get clip 3 - it just played fine for me. Can I suggest you try again, or perhaps change the resolution - select the LO version from the switch just below the player.

Regretably I couldn't get Pt 3 of the story: very interesting portrayal of life with MS but it seemed too much like an MS Society propoganda piece to me: no mention of CVhronic CerebroSpinal Venous Insufficiency but perhaps that was in Pt 3 along with the input from the International MS Specialist.
To anyone / everyone with MS in New Zealand, please learn all you can about CCSVI, extremely good web site is thisisms.com where you can learn so much, then ask your MS Society to get behind this potential treatment.
