The second WV problem seems to have started recently...last month or so - I haven't added any new bits to FF, but I have updated the ones I have as they become available.<br />Maybe one of those updates to an add-on caused the problem. I really don't know.

I seem to have a brain allergy to food as I feel worse after eating cheeses, meats and sugary stuff ( basically everything worth eating ). I've been on antidepressants but most of them don't work .
