I'm really glad you're OK Bex, and thanks for checking in. I wish my husband could help you; he's always sorting out people's computer problems. If it's a question you have, rather than something physical that needs doing, then feel free to ask and I will pass it on to him.

I was up to 50mg DMSA and 37.5mg ALA last round, ended up feeling very depressed. It came on top of the gradual loss of humanity I feel at this time of year as SAD creeps up on me -- this is the 4th winter now. Doing my teaching course 2 days a week, and my daughter being at school now, are not enough to be lifting the depression. I'm still looking for a part-time job and I've prepared about 10 letters to local schools, but I've been searching for a year so far.

At the moment, despite having done really well with my diet, I'm on another sugar binge. It does something to my biochemistry at this time of year to help me feel better, but the price tag is so very high. At the moment I just don't know what to do. I was crying every day, no motivation to do much.

I haven't written much here because I don't think there's really anything anyone can do to help. I've got to hope that I can find a job, or that supply teaching after Christmas will be enough to lift the depression. If not, I have no idea what I'll do next. If I can scrape up the money by that point. I might try a visit to the Breakspeare Hospital in London. Though they don't seem to have helped Tracy much.

I hope you're feeling better yourself? We're all in a fine pickle aren't we <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Take care,
Linda.
