I was diagnosed with graves disease in February 2011, anyway how do you cope with it from day to day?

I was on 40 mg. of methimazole the first 3 weeks. I could not get out of bed, I thought i was gonna die:( I was on 40 mg of propanolol 3 times a day, that medicine was awful!! THank goodness i was put on 10 mg of methimazole in mid february and switched to atenolol 12.5 mg =) I am doing very well now, I just worry about the future with having graves! Whats odd to me is that my ft4 has always been normal and my ft3 was 5.7 about a month ago and my tsh was 0.04. I am just wondering if it is not something else, my left eye has always been bigger than my right, the first endo I saw wanted to do rai right away because she knew i had graves by looking @ my eye!! I refused!! She was very rude to me the last time i saw her. I am seeing a new endo May 18, I also am seeing a new pcp May 5. I want a dr. that is going to take good care of me when I am not seeing me endo! Whats odd to me too is that I have mostly hypo symptoms!! My grandma and 2 great aunts all have hypo. I just know that I will take the anti-thyroid meds as long as I can =) or its surgery fo me. I am back to my normal self besides having anxiety off and on. I exercise, and eat healthy. I can't kick the caffeine though =) Otherwise I have no motivation to do anything! I also have fibromyalgia and pcos. I really want my new endo to make sure I don't have a pituitary problem or adrenal problem too! Also I don't have a swollen thyroid and no growths either! so that's good!!
