Your situation is about normal for where you are in the process, and like it was said before, it does get better, but it just takes time for your body to completely heal. Rather than post a lengthy response to your two questions I want to direct you to the search engine that is part of the message board. (This is different from the one that resides in the body of the web site) You can put in a search word like Salgen and it will find previous posts for you that contained conversations with that word. As I recall there were some pretty good answers from the group in relationship to your questions. Try it out, you will have to search in each main topic area.
