The odd thing is, 3 months ago I got a new doctor and they ordered full blood work when I told them of my history and nothing showed up. I did just fly, but I exercise like a maniac so you would think my circulation would be good although I do have slight varicose..

Thanks for the well wishes! First thing I'm going to do is find a good doctor for this sort of issue and hope my HMO pays for it.
