Hello Friends. I have read a number of posts about VRS and almost all have said it has improved their life considerably. I am recently retired and have tried to improve my general health and breathing through diet , excercise , and following my treatment regimen. I don't seem to be getting any better and everything is a struggle.
Please could I ask what the eligibility criteria is for VRS? I think I would like to ask my GP about this but don't really know if I am suitable for this treatment.
I am very happy for those who have had VRS successfully. Love to hear how your life has improved. Thank you
