Push the needle inSulin

Berlin, September 2019

Last week, i visited a befriended neurologist in his clinic to be introduced to an interesting experiment with Parkinson patients they had started. It is definitely not a scientific case study but something worth trying out.

It seams to have a neuroprotective effect when injecting a daily small dosis of Insulin. I absolutely hate needles and usually have to lay down and close my eyes when having blood extracted. I remember fainting away in the blood donation busses , when donation was important to me. Back in the days it was a good money income resource as i was young and poor.

Now i watch myself pushing an 8mm needle under my tummy‘s skin as if it is the most natural thing to do, like brushing teeth. Needle is tiny anyway. Not a big deal. The only little side effect is that i am not hungry for hours as the level of sugar in the blood is leveled down. And because of that, this treatment is used sometimes for overweight patients to kill the appetite. I can handle weight loss, still more than enough flesh on my bones. In fact , i have to force myself to eat right now , because the stomach feels a little lazy and queasy.

Anyway, i have start started taking it this week only. Will be a little tricky travelling around with Insulin as it needs to be kept in the fridge and i will be heading off into the Wilderness next week with rucksack on my back , under the hot september sun in the mediterranean.
