Thanks folks. The trouble is now that my A and D has reached the stage where I am convinced that I have cancer of the oesophagus and an anuerysm as well and as ever I am afraid of condition, test, remedy and consequences of non treatment. I have been to see a shrink and spoke to my doc who put me on paroxetine. Within a couple of days of reaching full dose I had developed wildly trembling legs and it looks as if I suffer from seotonin syndrome. I have tried SJW but that has put my heart rate up and then I become afraid of the aneurysm thing,

Apart from this there has been a development in my life which under normal circumstances would make me so happy but the apnea , my health? and everything else is depriving me of the chance to enjoy what should have been amongst the happiest days of my life

Normally I am a self confident music teacher leading kids and inspiring them with all sorts of new expereience this has reduced me to a gibbering shell of my normal self and what frightens me is that I cannot picture a resolution.

I apologise for ranting so self indulgently (almost to the poinbt of bad taste in terms of moderation) but this is the one place where some folks might understand what is happenning to me.

Thank You
