Yesterday's temperature was 37 (98.6), body temperature!! We are not used to this, especially with geese in the sky and combines on the fields - fall is in the air.
I went up to my sanctum sanctorum, the cottage, to get away for the day but, even with AC gushing forth in the living room, it felt like I was living in a magma chamber in the other rooms. I turned on a fan, but noticed that the moving air actually caused a tremor to start up in my resting (right) arm where no tremor was present at that moment. What's that all about anyway? I discovered I could repair the tremor by COVERING UP!!! I looked at the thermometer in the kitchen. It was 101F. There was no way I was covering up. Chose to return to the city instead.
New things happen all the time. About a year and a half ago, I began to have trouble swallowing. Tests were done (very cool watching on a monitor some "gunk" I had ingested, slowly journey down my digestive tract and coat everything in its way). No problems found. No explanation. I chalked it up to another part of my fibromyalgia. In any event, I lost about 7 pounds as I was reduced to eating soup, bread soaked in soup, and strawberry milkshakes for about 2 weeks. Then it disappeared and hasn't crossed my doorstep since.
Now I read difficulty in swallowing is also a symptom of PD. Hope never to see that one again.
The sideshows keep swallowing up the circus!
