UK Neurologists saved my life. Totally quiting the use of alcohol, cutting down on the use of sugar products - the only Coke I drink is Coke Zero - & and try to stay away, or cutting down on products containing caffeine. There is also no use in smoking, as my neurologist suggested cutting down on that & now I forget to smoke. If I'm stressed out about something, or depressed & there is nobody around to talk to - I sit with my 2 Jack Russells & have conversations with them, as if they understand every thing I say.

They enjoy the company & attention, just as much as I do get from them.
