Hi Lagstar - I believe that the common feeling is that yes it is... But it takes major diet and lifestyle changes to make it work for most people. Since you are already eating and exercising well, I would suggest that maybe you make an appointment with a dietician? There may be a change that you can make that can help you. I wish you luck in finding the answer. It is frustrating to feel like you are doing the best you can and it is not enough...

Thanks CaerylUSA, i’m not fully accepting this yet, must admit it takes a toll on my morale, the thought of a stroke really scares me..but i’ll win this one too.. . I’ll check a nutritionist, good idea!
