Thanks guys.
Day 3, update. Feel lots better today. Not there yet, I suspect, but I really do feel a lot better, probably as good as I've felt in a little while at least.
Also I seemed to be a lot more sociable today than usual, talking to people, and my mind could stay focused on the conversation instead of losing track straight away like I normally do.
I've still got a pipe in my drawers. I think I'll donate this to my friend. I dont need it anymore
