Holli:

Have you had any blood work to check for Vitamin deficiencies or other problems like thyroid disorders? It's likely that you could have something else going on that could be easily fixed.

Ha, I think he just meant that your counts are heading to the above normal side.

I don't think it's possible to have 'all' of the tests. There could have been some things missed. Sometimes having a vitamin level on the low end of the reference range can cause symptoms like fatigue.
