My editors and proofreaders also tell me that they get so caught up in my stories, they forget to look for typos. It's frustrating, but I keep trying to get it right.

NO WAY! Not you too! I once had an editor that I paid quite a lot of money and although the editor found some general problems with italics and one or two problems with sentence structure, over 70% of the novel had numerous spelling errors, ones that should've been caught easily. That relationship was short-lived. And oh yes, LJ. I never have the same editor read my work twice. Someone that's familiar with the plot will tend to skip over mistakes.
