This thread has made me remember a tale I was once told...
...Once upon a time there was a beautiful princess who fell in love with a wood cutter. Her father told the wood cutter that he could marry the princess if he could find something that would make the king happy when he was sad and sad when he was happy. The wood cutter thought about it and got a ring engraved with "THIS TOO WILL PASS". The king read it and granted them permission to marry.
(Not sure if he was a wood cutter - I was a kid when I heard the tale, but all good stories have a wood cutter in them!)

I have seen over the length of this thread so many of us go from up to down and down to up, it has really reminded me that this will pass.
I am sorry for those who have stayed down... and pray that it will get better...

Any way back to the Q: how am i today? next to no sleep again - and definitely gone a touch hypo... At the destracted/non productive stage... but ok - it will pass!!!! (a gastroenterologist's moto)
