nancy - thank you and dont worry my mom is coming as my second set of ears and I previously kept symptom log for about 4 months and I will restart that for these 2 weeks.

friend2u - yes I stay active as I am actually part of the rowing team at my school so we practice about 2 hours a day and there are some days when I wonder if I am tired from previous practices or if it more because I will feel very weak. Thank you for your insight I will let everyone know what the doc says after I go. Also a question for you - for your first symptoms did you have the "episode" pattern ? because I dont think I have really had this (i mean i have particularly bad days occasionally and sometimes a bad week but I dont have days where the symptoms completely dissapear).

Thanks!
