I'm very sorry to hear about your battle! I can relate to your frustrations...especially when we get to the age when we're past all the hard work of raising our kids etc, and ready to enjoy a ....... new? life ? and BAM

Hi John
and welcome from a fellow MGer and Aussie, I'm over in Western Australia.
I see you have been directed over to the MG forum, where you will probably get more answers to your question.
Yes I to was fit and healthy, still not sure what set me off on the downward spiral.
Look forward to seeing you around
Kate
