Fergus, it seems to me that you are doing all the right things....you are NSD that is great and you have quit smoking that is even more great!
Perhaps your disease is just at a point where some medications would be beneficial to you. I don't think that you should feel that you should be able to 'do AS' without some medication. It is nice that the NSD helps [I am NSD too], but perhaps it needs a little boost with some medication?
If you read up on some of DragonSlayer's posts re NSD and medication you may be able to get a better idea of what is going on with you?? Even better you could go to DragonSlayer himself! I have found that reading his posts, and Kiwi, and several others on the NSD site, is VERY imformative, and always makes me feel better about what I am trying to accomplish with the NSD.
Hope this helps Fergus! I will be thinking of you.
Rita
