Lori,
I am so sorry to hear about your pain (((hugs))) One thing that I had to force my doctor to do was test my thyroid function and hormonal output before they actually figured out it was a brain chemical imbalance. Have you undergone a pet scan? It is used in mental illness patients to show what part of the brain is/isn't functioning due to the lack or over abundance of certain chemicals. I know it all sounds scary, but it may offer you some solutions to your agonizing search for answers.
I also agree with ozzie....a psychiatrist and therapist may do you well, and family counseling sounds like it is in order so your children can express their feelings about your situation and home life. This can't be healthy for them either.
I wish you the best and keep us posted....we all understand to some degree how frustrating it is to not have control over our bodies or emotions.
Many prayers and hugs,
dolfingrrl
