Yesterday's session of hydro therapy may have done some good. We went out this morning to do our shopping and so far grumpy's still able to get around under his own steam. It is a bit cooler as well, so it's difficult to tell which has helped.

His appetite is still affected - we would normally have an indian or chinese on Friday's but he reckons he's OFF 'spicy' food. Alchohol is also off but for different reasons. Staple diet of salads for the forseeable. It's helping that he's able to get out, over last weekend he didn't get out between Friday and Tuesday and he hardly ate, but by going out every morning he is eating whatever I put on his plate for dinner.

Did some reading up last night on the effect that the heat has on somone with ms and have realised that his increased incidences of vertigo may also be down to the fatigue. There are quite a few things available, all with a price attached, that can help keep cool, but the cold 'splash' jsut before bed seems to be helping and also now possibly the sessions that he has in the pool have the double benefit? of getting the important exercise AND getting his core temperature down
