LOL :silent: No I never giggled ! I think hormones are at the root of such a lot of things for women - lots of which even we don't understand (like the way it affects us emotionally) I don't know why you should have just developed a sweet tooth and I don't want to make you feel worse but I...

Re: Any Type 2's on blood pressure meds ? ` Yep I really do think I have WCS ! I have had sinus related issues for over 30 years (disturbed vision, terrible facial and head pain) but since being on bp meds I no longer have any pain and only occasion vision issues. I mention this only because...
