Hi Linn, welcome back!

To help with the stress and the body's handling of it, I strongly recommend a thread that ran while you were gone, [Praise's Good News on Health]. There are some links there near the end that are right on target, and I urge you to explore them! If they seem useful, then, and you want more details on the program I followed, which is one reason I am alive today, please PM or e-mail me. But I am having computer problems. Mudcat member Mrs._Zezam has a copy from a PM too, and if I'm offline when you need it, she could probably provide it.

(And here is a message to your body, from me-- "Pssst! LinnBod! Everything is going to be OK. It really, really, really is. You can start to chill out a little bit. Keep telling Linn what you need. She is very, very smart. She won't let you down, I promise.")
