Hi all,

its good to hear form all of you and discover your diferent
experiences I was diagnosed 3 months ago and coping extremely well
considering I had a major crisis. My only problem I am experiencing
at the moment is the 'getting out of bed' syndrome which I sure all
of you agree is very hard to get over - still we can only carry on
taking the pills and lead as normal a life as possible

Keep in touch and take care

Marcus
