Thanks for that link, Jan. I've been struggling with how to explain my situation to someone and that has given me a HUGE clue on the subject.

@Dave - this is the stuff of success in your moving forward, mate. Read, mark and inwardly digest.

It sure is Wazza I am taking all on board and appreciating every reply.
Men's health! I think we keep a lot of our problems hidden from family and friends, I know I do which is not a good thing, I find it easier to talk here than at home.

Congratulations Dave - wishing you all the best

I KNOW that to be the case, Dave. It's the semi-anonymous nature of the Internet forum that seems to offer some release from our natural inhibitions over our health issues. How many times have you answered the question "How are ya' mate?" with, "Yeah, I'm fine, mate!" You just know that most people don't want to hear anything else anyway so it becomes almost automatic. We should be able to go to Manual mode with our friends and family but that's easier said than done. Unloading to virtual strangers (pun intended) is always easier because the consequences are less severe.
