Where do I begin??

I will probably be the worlds worst blogger, because it takes time, and whenever I find myself with some of that I usually sit here and do nothing. The main purpose of this blog is to chronicle my journey from normal to frantically trying to find my way back. I am not there yet, but i will be, because I have left myself with no other option.
I guess my story begins after the traumatic birth of my third and final child. A few months after his birth I started complaining of severe debilitating gyn symptoms.. I heard everything from "it's normal" to "we better make sure this is not cancer." It was not cancer thankfully, but there was something wrong, this is my body, and I know when it is not right. I wish more doctors would believe us when we tell them that. I was lucky enough to see a very nice and understanding nurse during one of my emotionally charged, "Please help me" visits.. She recommended testing my thyroid. The test was not normal, and she referred me to my PCP.. He drew his own blood work, told me I had Graves Disease, but it required no treatment. I went on for a year with no follow up blood work, and no treatment. I was OK with it at the time, because no treatment required means you are OK, right?? I thought so, but after my third admission to the hospital for rapid heart rate, and chest pain I realized it meant I needed a new doctor.
