that doctor thing would really be a great idea considering.just wanted to mention something to you tho that i remebered when i reread about the gum issue?in some cases/people, a certain level of actual bacterial type infection within the gums/teeth area CAN possibly cause a systemic type of infection which can casue a very wide array of similar symptoms to yours.it wouldn't hurt to when you see your doc to make certain to mention the teeth issues too.once a more localized type of bacterial infection actually hits the bloodstream,it can create a host of problems/symptoms.just thought i would throw that out there for ya.the difference between just an 'infection' vs treating something bacterial and systemic would require something like cipro to get rid of not just your plain old antibiotics.you do need some bloodwork done tho,really.hope things get better after you get a chance to see your doc and have this all evaluated and the labs done.please let us know how you are doing,K?
