Carlin, hope you got something out of this thread. There has been some very insightful and knowledgable responses.
Nevertheless, regardless of whether your symptoms are of psychological origin as some have suggested; they have the same physiological effect and equally disabling as any obvious medical condition.
You need to be commended for posting your concerns and asking for suggestions. It isn't easy to go public, most wouldn't dare because of the inevitable pontificators that would be attracted to your thread.
Please feel free to start a new thread when you have your medical results and outcome.
In the meantime, thank you to all who responded. Thread closed.
