you hit it on the head Nat, its mind boggling and the more you think the harder it gets some times. yet to totally ignore isnt safe either.. so what do u do? try to find a happy medium between the two, and no its not simple wish it were. and in time you are right that numb foot may panic u today but in time u will say ok cool was just sitting wrong no worry instead of the other way, worry first then figure it out...its a learning illness, there are so many diff SX for all of us that there isn't a set pattern for the MSbs, and me thinks that makes it hard in itself, how do u know, its time consuming, its an ongoing work, and from what i have read from some of the ones with it a lot longer, i dont think it ever changes i do think it does become easier to decipher though, and that in turn makes it easier, like Anne said she has had it for 30+yrs and still wonders, think thats always there, just the intensity of the worry lessens or ease up, one day at a time friend

its all u can do
