Thanks... yes, it really stinks! Wow.. 10 years is long! And I did wonder about my thyroid as well but I have had that checked sooo...I hope so, for your sake as well as your family! I went through at least 10 years of menopause type moodiness symptoms, but learned that it was my thyroid. It was very hard on my family. Thankfully I haven't had the same problems with menopause, I had enough before!
