bookgurl,
One more thing I would check out is lyme disease. It's more prevalent than one might expect. Lorraine posted on this board for months, sharing all the different drugs she was trying, and all the different immune tests she was given. Some abnormality, but nothing definitive. Just to make sure everything was covered *she* asked them to do a test for lyme disease. Quess what? They now predict that she had had the disease for about eight years. Lyme disease mimics many other illnesses, including depression and although everyone thinks they will see a tick or bite, most people do not realize that they actually have it.
So with your symptoms, I think it's worth checking out--just to make sure. I asked for a lyme test last time I was hospitalized and they refused.
Anyway, if there's any chance....
Take care,
Shelli
