Thanks for the replies!

I will be trying some of these, and have tried some of them already. There are some great ideas in here. As anon says at end, it is hard to know especially if you are mixing them all up together. I try to add one thing at a time, but it still is hard to tell.

I will add one thing that some may disagree with, but what worked to keep me sane and calm was running, and a couple times a week of light/moderate weightlifting - somtimes only 20 - 30 minutes. Of course, I have been lifting off and on for many years. In Russia, they use that approach more instead of drugs, I understand. Anybody out there want to try it for a couple weeks and let us know if it helped? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Or come back and scream, "You're an idiot - that didn't help squat!" (When I started running, I built up slow, 5 minutes added each time or two out, up to about an hour.)

I heard also that Russia banned the microwave - anyone hear that? Makes me wonder, as my doctor even has said to avoid microwaved food - but maybe this is another post.

Later,
