Jen and Snowie have given good advice, Deanna. For more info on thyroid problems, here are some sites:
www.thyroid-info.com
this deals mainly with HYPOthyroid, while what you describe are more HYPERthyroid symptoms. Still, the site owner, Mary Shomon, has a page where members can recommend good endocrinologists, based on their openness and ability to listen to the patient, and not get stuck in conventional thinking, etc., in other words, to be devoted to finding out what is wrong and finding a good treatment.http://www.thyroid.net/
looks like a LOT of helpful informationhttp://www.thyroid.org/patient/brochur4.htm
this is the american thyroid association's page on hyperthyroidismhttp://www.thyroid.org/patient/brochur3.htm
this is the ATA's page on Grave's Diseasehttp://www.thyroid-fed.org/intro/patients.html
this is the american thyroid federation site, patient information pagehttp://home.ican.net/~thyroid/Canada.html
this is the canadian thyroid federation siteIn books, there is The Thyroid Sourcebook, by Sara Rosenthal. you can see more about the book at http://showcase.htmlplanet.com/thyroid.html
good luck. Keep us posted.
