I permanently have bruises that I have no idea where they came from, my hands seem also to have bruises and cuts on them, I still do a lot of cooking and seem to bang them a lot.

My hair is beginning to come out must be the tablets as it’s never happened before, my hair has always been thick not very impressed.

Spain, Los Arenales del Sol, Near Alicante on the Costa Blanca, right by the sea.

The way I try to keep cool is use shutters on windows. have one of those personal square box fans, wear cotton as much as possible. Do cooking early or late when it’s cooler. We have ceiling fans but don’t…[Read more]

Yes I have very weird dreams that can be scary, and some times related to what I have been reading or watching. Have just started to take Mannitol so hope it does the same for me. Thank you.

Yes,have a light weight utensil that is a spoon at one end and a fork at the other end with a serated edge i find it helps a lot, I use a picker upper so I don’t lose my balance when I drop things
I have been reading a lot about Mannitol and it seems to work for some people so I am going to give it a try, I have ordered some from Amazon and it…[Read more]
