Wow Peter, I am glad you are okay. Happy that the others posting on the thread seem to be reporting good news as well. Or at least not terrible news!
I recently resumed a stressful job and rather than go out and party or partake of things which might make the time between paychecks 'go by faster' I have started getting serious about sleeping at a regular hour (by 10 PM most nights) and eating as healthy as possible. I haven't had any alcohol in a few weeks or smoked a cigarette in almost as long. It is tough, but I figure I am not too old and have enough 'problems' with this body. I broke my ankle the other year and having an active occupation I still notice it often. Maybe should have likely gotten some sort of corrective surgery? Fortunately it happened in the States but never made it back for a checkup. Just as bad maybe is sleeping with an open mouth. Never imagined it would turn into such an issue but my deviated septum has made it almost impossible to sleep with my mouth closed, further exasperating other dental issues and leading to somewhat serious gum recession and fairly consistent bleeding.
I am choosing to read the writing on the wall and see how long I can keep up this lifestyle. Must seem like small things compared to what others experience I know, but in my petty and subjective reality, combined with losing my hair, it feels like the sky is falling!
