You know... I think I might be sick with (or at least fighting off) the very same something. Sounds like it is a good idea to go to the doc. Just to check that things are okay. Might be that some antibiotics are in order... I'm working up the courage (and finances) to go soon... I think it pays to be a little wary of the pharmacy tests... They can pick up on things, that is true, but they don't pick up on greater patterns / more systemic causes for a variety of symptoms (e.g., one of the reasons there was so much resistance to having thrush treatments available without a prescription OTC was that people would use them instead of going to the doc and that they could have mis dx'd themselves). Sometimes... The doc is best. But of course you KNOW this already, but that doesn't necessarily make the trip there any easier...

I'm really glad your t has been nice and supportive of you during this hard time. Warms my heart.

I really hope you feel better soon.
