                            SP's Symptoms at 168 hours of MME

· Can breath deep without coughing or choking.  Lungs feel free.  I bring up phlegm during and right after MME treatment.

· Can now lay on left side if I stay away from narrow angle.

· Feel slightly disorientated after MME treatment.  Procrastinate or slow to act.  Don't drive car until I feel able to make decisions in traffic and react immediately.

· My memory - to me - is unbelievable.  I am remembering things that happened when I was a small boy.  Things I had totally forgotten, like thinking my playmate, at age 7, had stolen my baseball.  I forgot I had hidden it in the crotch of our cherry tree for safety, and just now remembered.

· It also has brought memories I would prefer not to remember, names - faces - and voices of men who didn't make it out of Korea.

· I tire easily when doing anything strenuous.  I start staggering.

· I walk farther now at a slow pace but my legs get tired and ache.  Perhaps age and bad knees.

· I don't know if I am better, but I believe I feel better physically and mentally.

· Still short of breath at times, even without exertion.

· I sleep longer now.  Six hours at at time.  It used to be only two hours for a long time.
