I'm sure it'll get a lot easier for you VashtiB, especially when you start to feel better. I guess it's a bit like getting new glasses - you never realised how bad your sight was until you put on the new specs. Having my disbetes diagnosis has made a lot of sense to me of niggly little symptoms I have been experiencing in the recent past when I told my husband on a number of occasions - 'I can't put my finger on it but I just don't feel so good'. I hope we can help each other in these early baby steps we are taking VashtiB
