The bottom line is that they still don't know what is wrong with me.
If you want more details here you go:
The oximetry test came back normal. My oxygen levels don't dip like they would with sleep apnea. At this time they are not going to do an overnight sleep test as they feel that would be a waste as I am sleeping fine.
I have to do a fasting blood test tomorrow and they are going to draw blood for the the following tests:
CBC (blood counts)
Lymes and Ehrlichia
Glucose
Thyroid
Mono
Yes, I had many of these before, but he wants to compare them and see if anything has changed. He also mentioned sending me to an infectious disease specialist but they generally want a little more information to go on. He could refer me to them if he needed to, but wants to see how these tests go. The doctor did say that there is something going on in my body with the low-grade fever, fatigue, and headaches.
I am supposed to continue taking my naproxen and amitriptolene as I am now.
I see the doctor back on October 8. I am off work until at least October 9.

:( Sorry they did not have any answers for you. They need to get you all better for our anniversary ;-). I miss you and am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. let me know if you would like a visit or sprung from the house.
Oh my gosh, Amber! I'm so sorry. You must be feeling terrible. I'm happy you at least have time off of work. That's a blessing, isn't it? Get as much rest as you can. Do you need any movies or anything like that? Let me know if you need anything. Don't forget that I'm here. Hang in there. You're in my prayers.
Ma, don't worry....they are working on figuring it out.
Thanks Mrs. A! I might have you spring me from the house sometime when you have time. :) I'm going to need to get out.
Thanks Leslie, the prayers help, I'm sure of it. :) I'm pretty set on movies, but if you have any book ideas, let me know. I'm always looking for something new to read. :)
