Hi Douglas and Lucie,

Thanks both for the replies, it helps just knowing that there are other people out there who have been through the same thing.

I had a real dip last week in all honesty. I felt pretty lousy (weak, nautious) and went for blood tests that came back absolutely fine. Had a few days off work to recouperate and gradually started feeling better, and by the weekend felt pretty human again.

I did manage to get in touch with a local charity who have since given me a first counselling session over the phone. It did me the world of good and I would recommend it to anyone who is feeling down/uncertain/anxious or anything else out of the ordinary.

I've got three more therapy sessions with them and they even give free treatments (massages, reiki, etc) to both the affected person and their spouse or carer. Seems fantastic, but as i'm back at work it looks like the wife might be the only one who can reap the benefit of the treatments.

Anyway, my point is that along with this forum there is lots of help out there of various types - it was my GP that put me in touch with the charity, so please speak to someone if you feel the need and you may be surprised by how much help there is out there.

Take care everyone.

Hi Walnutboydave

Check out Rayb's post - there are a number of us at various stages, including Douglas, who keep each other uptodate with information, share humerous stories and generally show that we are not alone in this journey.  It'll be good to have you over.
