It’s a very debilitating and frightening disorder that creeps up on you. I don’t think I could have managed without therapy and strong family. Sufferers need masses of support even though family cannot understand what is actually happening. I hope by reading my problem you have gained some comfort.

I said to Sheila today that I felt good and she said it’s the first time since May. <br />It’s a long road to recovery but patience is a virtue of mine. I will beat it.

If the doc wants me to stay on them longer then I will talk to her about changing. Thanks and I hope you are ok too.

Keith is a long-distance walker and author who also sometimes writes openly about issues he has had to deal with away from the trails. I wouldn't suggest that his experiences are identical, but there might be something there which strikes a chord.<br /><br />In any even - all the very best<br /><br />DaveDavehttps://ossroad.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-12539988563098377892019-08-25T09:20:51.730+01:002019-08-25T09:20:51.730+01:00Thanks everyone for the good wishes.

Mentally I feel I am winning the battle but I need to keep positive and stay away from stressful situations. I’ve been told not to plan anything but do more spontaneous.<br />Hopefully my post will give other sufferers the will to fight and know they are not alone.
