    The early days ARE tough, soraya, but you will get through them and I hope the meds begin to make a difference soon. The injection she was talking about was possibly a depo-medrone, an injected form of steroid? That can be very helpful for those who don't respond that well to the tablets. As for the mind-altering meds perhaps some dosages need to be tinkered with? Have a chat with your GP and see what he says. Anyhoo, it's nice to hear from you again and I hope things improve soon. DD
    Have you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben
