Bette and Paul - good thoughts. I'm already on Synthroid and have my levels checked every 3 months. I suppose that could be affecting things but this has been going on for longer than that.

I also had some evidence of leukopenia - low white cell count - this was more than a year ago before these current symptoms became constant. At the time my doc sent me back to the MO who's also a hemotologist, but he didn't think there was any problem that warranted treatment.

The diabetes/glucose angle is another interesting one I hadn't considered - yikes. I have an annual physical coming up in January so I'll ask my doc about it.

Many thanks!
