DEAR DR. ROACH: I recently had a surgery, and prior to the surgery, my doctor ordered some routine blood tests. My aPTT level was high, but the PT level was normal.

The symptoms are an annual recurrence for about four months of oversleeping, overeating, social withdrawal, irritability, grumpiness/ depression, difficulty concentrating and weight gain.
