I'm not shy about talking to Doc's, either, so will stay on them until I feel better. Thanks for all of the prayers and good wishes.
My Graves went years undiagnosed. My Dr. had told me my shaking hands were panic attacks. Not to even mention the emotional stress, and people thinking I was bi-polar.

Forgot about the voice thing. Mine was very temporary about 6 months. I would be talking and then all of sudden I would run out of air and couldn't talk. it was really weird. but it slowly got better and haven't had it for years.

My scar was kind of cool. I had surgery about 1 week before Halloween. Joked with my kids and said I had a built in costume. It will slowly fade. Vitiamin E oil will help with the fading. Hang in there.

:D
