Thanks, someone else also mentioned the magnets, I will look into that for sure ... also the book recomendations.

I am trying to get a "balanced" view of all this as much as possible, without going full tilt boogie in the "oh, no it's Doomsday" direction, or the "we-can-all-be-Happy-in-Neverland,-if-we-only-Beleive" direction, either one ...

... another thing (it's always somthing): I started feeling a numbness in my right hand a little while ago, and it scared me momenterily, and then made me think: is is common for PN peeps, especially in the early stages of it, to become hyper"sensitive" or even hypochondriacal about symptoms? I mean, people without PN or any nerve problems, just about everybody, sometimes has parts of their body "go to sleep" temporarily, right? The feeling in my hand retunred to "normal" pretty quickly, and I'm trying to guard against getting paranoid or going off the deep end here ... Im definitely sure I have rather poor blood circulation, so that is one thing ...
