It is cold. 44 F.
In India homes are not centrally heated, so heating is arranged as need based and I hate heaters, even those that come with steamers. So here I am on the computer wearing a ton of woollies.

I have been researching for a friend, someone who at the cost of sounding juvenile I think of as my 'best friend', who has Parkinson's. He has been diagnosed for over ten years now. Although the progression has been slow so far, it has now got to a stage where more medications need to be added. Dosage and timing is very important to allow mobility and there are just so many permutations and combinations that have to be tested out to arrive at some kind of an optimal for a certain amount of time.

The Parkinson's forum's support has been awesome. Suggestions to use a simple OT drug which is prescribed for cough has helped a great deal.

ABBIE - the aforementioned drug is also meant to help lupus, fibro and CFS. It is Dextromethorphan.
Here is a link to a google search page that lists a lot of articles on the subject.

Nothing much happening really - rather, I haven't had time for much else.
I have put myself on a no grain, no sugar eating program. Fruit, veggies, chicken and fish. Ate too many chocolates and sweets last month. I feel bloated.

Mari, Bizi, I agree. maybe it is the effect of global warming, but from what I gather these extreme temperatures also happened decades ago. So? Too complicated. I will continue with my efforts at living an environment friendly life. Global warming or not, can't hurt on either the micro or macro level.

Enjoy your Sunday all of you.
