Bonnie:

The symptoms you describe are almost a textbook description of Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome. You can have your doctor check several things to see if you have this:

1. Check your natural killer cell count. It may be low. 2. Check your liver function. Two enzymes will be high, but your doctor will say "Hmmm....I'm not sure what's going on because everything else is normal and you don't seem to have liver disease." Your doc may try to diagnose you wih "fatty liver." 3. Get a PET scan of your brain if possible. That will show any areas of abnormal brain metabolism. 4. Have neurocognitive testing done to see how bad your "brain fog" is. 5. Go to a doctor who specializes in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. 6. You may want to check out http://www.immunesupport.com. They have excellent articles about immune system dysfunction, fibromyalgia and CFIDS. 7. Another good reference is http://www.cfids.org

Best wishes to you in your quest for health.
