Reply to comment by I-goes-to-eleven in TIL This palliative care paper determined that a stream of air from a bedside fan relieves dying patients of dyspnoea (breathlessness/ shortness of breath) as equally as supplemental O2. by No_Cauliflower_5489
Ive tried some compression stickings but had a real problem getting them on due to limited use of my hands (arthritis and advanced dupuytrens) and herniated cervical discs. The socks were probably not the right size so I'm pr8babky going to try again uto get my leg BP up a bit. But it seems like the fatigue is mostly the cause of my shaky legs when standing for more than a couple of minutes, complicated by general lack of balance, apparently related to major head injuries years ago and occasional bouts of vestibular vertigo when changing my head position too quickly. I use a cane and a chair when going out but am mostly bedridden due to the weakness and fatigue, which only makes it worse. But I have cable and a fun game I'm invested in, so I've got that giung for me, which is nice. ;) I appreciate your spending the time to chat with me, and I posted a couple more comments elsewhere with more detail. Short version is that I'm 69, just falling apart and pretty much OK with it.
