Thanks kim for your encouragement. i know there are several other possibilities (that i know of, obviously there's probably more). things like lyme, vitamin deficiencies, etc. that is why i would like to return to the doctors, to put my mind at ease. unfortunately, for me, his mind is already at ease. he is generally not worried about it either way. and, we've been through it already, more than once, that he has set in his mind how he wants to handle this and is not going to budge on my thoughts. so, for now, i'm just dealing with it the best i can. some days i do better than others. whatever it is, though, effects many of our days because of his symptoms. so, i am living with someone who has some kind of illness that changes the way we usually live, even if it's as simple as depression or stress. until it's resolved, it's there. i have been really glad for this group because no one else even knows what's going on (except for one friend of mine). i have had no where else to voice my emotions, questions, etc. i am blessed to have met everyone of you and whatever turn this takes, i have been educated on this disease and the people who have it and there famlies and that won't be wasted knowledge.
well, happy easter to all and i pray many blessings for all of you. melissa
