My legs are improving. Dermatologist has reduced my need for four daily applications of Triamcinolone to two daily. For that I am thankful as the routine I must use is time-consuming and somewhat difficult. Will be on the antibiotic medicine for another week. Am to visit him again next Friday. rho00366

Body challenges have taken over
with some being temporary. Trying to keep my legs elevated is permanent and I have been innovating toward that end. Fortuitously, the furnishings I have for my computer equipment are nearly perfect aids: the 30-inches tall desk my monitor is now on, the 22-inches tall table partially under that desk on which are my modem and a towel folded so it is two inches high for the heels of my feet, the stool which is 23-inches tall and is being used for my mouse and the right end of my keyboard, the folding chair I am seated on with a cushion beneath my rear and a cushion behind my back, the glasses I wear which are set for viewing my monitor which I have for some years had three feet from where I type. My keyboard is on a towel I've folded which is over my upper legs. Am having to use a yard stick to turn my computer and monitor on. Will try to improve on this, but for now it will have to do. rho00361

allergy research news
If you, like me, have allergies, especially dust mite and cat dander allergies, a Swiss biotechnology company's news release from earlier this month might interest you. The trial period for their injection is not yet over but results so far are promising, and the product is at base better than those currently available. The company's name is Cytos. The release is in PDF format. News I found out about this company and its in- trial product through the weekly e-mail I get from KurzweilAI (kurzweilai.net). Rho00128

less sugar and HFCS
Having doubts about my own situation, searches led me to these sites: fast food liver cirrhosis ..... too much sugar ..... Sugar has no nutritional value but is not totally without value. If your daily caloric intake is 2000 calories--which mine is not because it does not need to be, your daily sugar intake should be 200 calories (50 grams) at the most. High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is in nearly 80% of processed food. It is in my grape jam. It is in my 350- calorie nutrition drink. Various sites suggest substitutes such as Stevia or Sucanut. I'd never heard of Sucanut until today. It comes from sugar cane. In a sense it is sugar before the nutrients are refined out of it. Also, mention is made of copper and taurine deficiencies, and having liver enzyme levels checked. Fructose is metabolized in the liver. Visit the sites I've linked to, and related other sites. Try various searches using key words. Rho00090
