Thank you all for you advice and comments. Went to the doc today and she scheduled me for some blood work. I actually got slammed today... she found something wrong with my heart.... and my swollen lymph nodes are more of a problem then I thought. She's testing me for Hotchkins... or however you spell that. My symptoms all point there. So we'll see. I'm exhausted right now and can't wait to just sllllllllleeeeeeeeep. Thanks everyone for listening. Kristi
