Thanks Linda. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Not sure what happened as I had been there four months earlier and I was ok. It might have been stress and exhaustion as I had travelled down from Berlin to Frankfurt by bus (8 hours) then met my friends who took me to a conference then we had to get the train home so i was really whacked. There again it may have been pesticide spray on the aeroplane. I wear a mask but maybe I got a dose. I have also had some family upsets last year. It looks like my adrenals just got completely shot and candida took over. It looks like I will have to give that up for a year at least. i was hoping to go this summer as I have a few friends I can stay with and I love it there. It is great to have the doctor though. It is the first time in my life that anyone has recognised how sick i am and not thought of as a hypochondriac. I feel very relieved and cared for this evening.
