thank you very much. My new doctor said there was nothing he could give me for the fatigue. I am unsure if he meant that he didn't want to mask it or if he was unwilling or unaware of any meds. I'll need to ask him when he calls with my test results next week. Thank you for the ideas! I appreciate your caring and concern.
