    Do you find this gives you powers of concentration? I sometimes find myself doing that unconsciously for focus.

    Solids are for showoffs, braggarts and Instagram users.

    I have lost 8lbs this last month alone.

    I don’t know if you already have it, or what’s in stock down at the local Tesco or what-have-you, or even what your medical brain trust would say about it, but I’d bet you can find protein powder with BCAAs and, conceivably, even glutamine nearby.

    Not like you needed a Mr Hyde potion, or anything, I mean.

      I stick my tongue between my lip-protected teeth when I'm concentrating. That function has not been affected.

      Yes, I could get all that stuff, but I kept thinking things would start working again any moment. Milk seems to be an acceptable substitute, plus it is not too unpleasant to cough back up. The thicker the fluid the worse it is. (The tomato soup experiment was a disaster.)

      I have been tempted to prowl the streets at night, looking for suitable victims, but sadly it's been raining rather a lot. Offputting.
