You'll fit right in  ;D  :welcomemm:

Some find that keeping a mood/food/symptom diary is useful to chart progress.  Memory fog is common.  We have a 'doing stupid things' thread as well as 'that strange woman in my house' ......  :whist:. 

There is a good article on the Forum to print and hand to husbands etc..
