Lynne,
I felt bad that I couldn't offer more specific help. But I didn't know enough about you and I didn't want to take the chance of something actually making you worse instead of better.
> I think I'm finally feeling good enough again to do some other things for myself that will help overall. It all takes so much energy, doesn't it?!?!
It sure does. I couldn't help myself more for years until I had enough clarity of mind to sort through the mountain of info out there to find something to help me.
> I have an appt with my general med doc next week. I can't get thru the fatigue so I want to have everything checked out.
The fatigue could be the Lexapro. Did you have fatigue before Lex? If it was me, depending on insurance coverage and cost of course, I would definite get a thyroid panel and possibly a hormone panel depending on age, as well as the basic testing. There is so much more testing that I could recommend, but traditional doctors usually scoff at it. So if you don't get a satisfactory answer from your doctor's tests, there are always alternative medical centers that can run tests for vitamin/mineral levels in the blood, etc.
Good luck, and God bless.
