Rock and roll with it. It sounds like you are getting to know your PMR. And, it’s different from everybody else’s but we share a few traits with some and a few other traits with others and all together we get to know our own PMR.
We are our own human guinea pigs, sadly, as research and technology has lagged behind, like Parkinson’s was 30 years ago, and still may be.

Quartering 5’s to be efficient. I can relate. Been there, done that….heck, may have to do it again (sheesh, I really hope not.)

Long? Breezed right through it. You are a good writer and express your experiences so well. Are you an author? It is our shared experiences on this Mayo site that helped me get to where I am today. Without it, I’d be a basket case, surely. I write long replies and thankfully nobody has told me to stop.

Oh yeah, I can also relate to the high from fasting. I weighed too much (15 years ago) and decided to cut out breakfast, and lunch if I felt like it. Why add fuel in the morning when I just topped off the tank last night? I’d drive to work feeling really stoked. I easily lost 60 pounds and never gained it back. I do eat breakfast again and I’m getting into the habit of lunch also, (pills to take, and I do think it is a healthier lifestyle) but I do eat supper earlier and if I snack before bed it is zero calorie food and omega-3. That won’t lose weight, but I’m more focused on the PMR elephant in the room.

Keep informing.
