whats prompted me to find out more recently is the hassles i have sleeping and just about bumming my 2nd year at uni cos i cant hold conc=entration or string two words together.....learning "coping stratigies" and measuring progression of rsd at neuropsychologists.given up all meds....they confuse me an zombie me n i cant drive or take care my boy wen on em.
