Oh my aching muscles

Posted by sliloh Published in Garden

How I could dig the whole garden up and lift those shovelfuls of dirt without even a twinge but the bending down planting the seeds killed me. Sheesh. I’m glad it’s done. I still need to hobble to the store. Maybe I should start using this stairstepper that’s sitting right here in front of [...]

What’s with this feeling good stuff! He opened his ole textbook and started reading about discounting it when you feel good. Like [...]

Pacemaker for depression

Posted by sliloh Published in Depression, Mental illness

This article is from 2006 and I was ready to rush right out and volunteer for their study. They’ve found that pacemakers can help Parkinson patients and also depressed patients. It will be ungodly expensive if it becomes the norm I’d assume, since they insert electrodes deep in the brain.
