> Hope your internist is a good diagnostician and is able to pinpoint what's wrong quickly. If she orders blood work, having it done fasting (yeah, I know it's a pain) and including a CBC would rule out anemia or blood sugar problems as possible causes. Please keep us posted.

Actually, this wouldn't necessarily rule out glycemic trouble. My problems only became apparent with a four hour GTT, fasting glucose didn't show much of anything at all. The GTT did show strange results, though it was some years later that the full extent of the problem became clear. (It took a carefully controlled diet and exercise program, and faithful recording of food/exercise/blood sugar readings on a good glucometer to show everything that was happening.)

Regardless, I'm with you on sending noa good wishes.
