Dear Dawn and Cindy, Thank you both for responding to my post. I guess I sure am in the right place. Well, at least I know it is not all in my head and I guess it is time to call the doctor. I will call tomorrow. Meanwhile, I will take your advice and begin to search the archives here (some of which I did do last night) and really begin to research this. I am just so thankful that all this information is here and elsewhere. And imagine, until yesterday, I thought it was just me! I'll keep you posted, and thanks again for responding and sharing.
