I agree. Sometimes it is easier to say (off the record and unprofessionally, of course) to someone that yes or no their symptoms definitely do or do not seem to fit. But your post was very general and your cycle of ups and downs, as you said, seem related to various types of events. It's worth looking into, I think, but I don't think we'd be much help. Nonetheless, stick around if you feel so inclined and you may get a better feel for what's going on with you through these posts. Sometimes we don't see things in ourselves until they are spelled out in someone else's experiences, if that makes sense. I've had a few "Ah ha!!" moments since coming here and it's been very helpful.

I hope you get it figured out and I'm sure you will. Good luck and welcome to the forums.
