Thanks for checking Lizzie...not much has changed since I last wrote, except that the docs. treating me agree that all meds must be stopped. The downside to that is that it will take ten months! So it's going to be well into next year before I'm likely to notice any improvement.
             Thanks also to Roderick for your kind words of concern...very grateful.
             Lizzie, I'm very touched by your care & concern...it really DOES help.
             Kindest Regards to all,
