Thanks, everyone. Yes, I was tested for Lyme disease and I don't have it. It seemed a logical thing, since I spend a good part of the year walking in the woods. Right now I am mostly freaked out about the thyroid thing because although this is almost always benign, I have a couple of signs it might not be. Right now, i am envisioning the worst. Emily, I will PM you. My primary care doc is a big believer in massage, so she has mentioned that, too. I am going to try and go to the health club and do yoga, since I just unfroze my membership from the summer. If I can keep my stomach healthy and eat, that will help me the most until I get some handle on what is actually wrong with me. And, we had to cancel our long awaited vacation, which is really upsetting me.
Thanks, everyone for the quick replies.
