thanks for the replies. i am tending not to address anything ed related because i'm not in a good place to address any ed behaviors. but i don't want to ignore health problems which may be existing independently of ed's.
i actually went to see a doctor at an immediate care center recently because i fainted at work. (i needed a doctor note to return to work) i mentioned these symptoms, but they dismissed them. they basically told me that i wasn't sick because i didn't have a fever. so i just went back to work.
