I haven't got my personal Graves Disease Journal up here yet, but I am working on getting that back as well. To read the old site and my journal go here This site is meant to be a gateway. There is SO MUCH information about Graves Disease and I can not put it all here. I am just hoping to provide a place to start. One thing is, if you have been diagnosed, your best weapon is reading, reading and more reading! Any knowledge that you can gather about how this disease works and how to treat will help you in the long run. The doctors that generally treat Graves are called Endocrinologists. Many times they specialize in Diabetes, so they may not have all the newest information about Graves. This disease is not simple and it may be up to you to help educate your Doctor so you can receive the best treatment possible. This disease (and many others I'm sure) require that you be proactive in the healing process.

Graves' Disease Gabriel Soudry, M.D. Kevin J. Donohoe, M.D. September 13, 1994 Case Presentation: A 27 year old female presented with symptoms and signs of hyperthyroidism. Thyroid function tests confirmed the diagnosis of hyperthyroidism. Thyroid scan with uptake was performed to determine the etiology of the hyperthyroidism. Findings: Thyroid scintigraphy (RAO, anterior and LAO views, 14k bytes) shows an enlarged gland with a focal region of decreased uptake in the right lower pole ( thick arrows , 14k bytes). The is visualization of a pyaramidal lobe (thin arrows). The thyroid uptake was markedly elevated at 72%. Because of the hypofunctioning right lower pole nodule, a total right thyroidectomy and a subtotal left thyroidectomy was performed. Pathology showed a follicular adenoma with atypical characteristics and thyroid hyperplasia. Discussion: History: Caleb Hillier Parry, a private practitioner in Bath, England, saw his first patient with a diffuse goiter and hyperthyroidism in 1786. His report of eight patients, however was not published until 1825, which was 3 years after his death (1). In 1835, Robert James Graves in Dublin described the same disease in six pregnant women. The disease was named after him in both the former British empire and in the United States (2). Carl A von Basedow described the disease a third time in three women in 1840 (3) and his name rather than Graves is applied to the disease in Europe. Prevalence: Graves' disease has been estimated to occur in 0.4% of the population of the United States with a lifetime risk of 1%. It is most commonly manifest in the third or fourth decade of life and the female to male ratio is 7:1 to 10:1 in published series.

This web page was created for an undergraduate assignment at Davidson College Graves' Disease Introduction to Graves' Disease Graves' disease is a thyroid-specific autoimmune disorder in which the body makes antibodies to the thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR), leading to hyperthyroidism, or an abnormally strong release of hormones from the thyroid gland. Normally, the release of thyroid hormones is mediated by thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), a hormone secreted by the pituitary gland that binds to TSHR to stimulate the thyroid to release thyroid hormones. This normal cycle is self-regulating: the hormones secreted by the thyroid keep more TSH from being produced (Janeway, 2001). The autoantibodies produced in Graves' disease are not subject to negative feedback, so they continue to be produced and bind to TSHR even when thyroid hormone levels rise too high. These antibodies act as agonists, stimulating more hormones to be released and thus leading to hyperthyroidism. Figure 1: Both TSH and autoantibodies can stimulate the TSHR on thymocytes to induce release of hormones such as thyroxine. Figure taken with permission

Whenever I'd asked doctors about being tired all the time or feeling swollen after a workout, they've all said everything was normal. Maybe I should slow down and not work so much were the suggestion I got from a couple of them; it was true, I did work a lot and played hard too. About a year later, I found out what the problem was.

26. Graves Disease Extensive information about the eye problems (ophthalmopathy) associated with both Graves disease and autoimmune thyroiditis. http://www.eyeinstitute.net/graves.html

The Eye and the Thyroid Gland Historical Background For more than 150 years, conditions known as Graves Disease and chronic autoimmune thyroditits have been associated eye problems (ophthalmopathy). In 1825, Caleb Parry described a condition of goitre and eye protrusion. In 1835, Robert Graves wrote about cases of thyroid disease and proptosis (protrusion) of the eye, and this form of hyper-thyroidism was named after him. In 1840, Carl von Basedow noted swelling of tissues around the eye in patients with hyperthyroidism. Although considerable research is being done, it is not yet known why the eye is involved in thyroid conditions. Pathogenesis (cause) Some ophthalmologists think eye changes result from either an autoimmune abnormality or a regulatory cell disorder that allows some antibodies to attack the ocular muscles, which leads to inflammation and other signs of discomfort. Grave's ophthalmopathy focuses on the muscles around the eye, which help position the eye within the bony orbit or cavity where it rests on a bed of fat. This fat and the tear gland can also be affected in Grave's Disease although to a lesser degree. More often, apical enlargement of the eye muscles stimulates other fibroblasts. Fluid is drawn into the muscle and stored, eventually leading to the development of scar tissue. In addition, the swelling of the muscles pushes the eye forward causing it to protrude. As a result patients may have trouble closing their eyes, which causes drying, irritation and increased inflammation. Increased effort to bring the eyelids together may result in a frown, or swollen muscles may compress the optic nerve leading to loss of vision if treatment is not sought early on.

Home Eye Conditions A-D E-M ... Ask the Expert Graves Disease Definition Symptoms Treatment Clinic Information Definition Graves disease (hyperthyroidism) is a medical condition in which an overactive thyroid gland secretes an excess amount of thyroid hormone. As a result, you may have an enlarged thyroid gland, palpitations, fast pulse, profuse sweating, high blood pressure, irritability, and a number of symptoms related to your eyes. Symptoms of hyperthyroidism include fatigue, fast heartbeat, weight loss, heat intolerance, fine hair and diarrhea. Hypothyroidism may also cause fatigue, but with slow heartbeat, constipation and weight gain. Note that symptoms of thyroid eye disease may be present even when tests show a normal level of thyroid hormone in the blood (called euthyroid). However, most patients with eye symptoms have abnormal blood levels of thyroid hormone. Symptoms A "staring" appearance Dry eyes Swelling (edema) of the eyelids and tissue around the eye Double vision In severe cases, the clear covering of the eye (cornea) may ulcerate, or the optic nerve may be damaged which results in a permanent loss of vision.

Home Shows Strong Medicine Fact Sheets Subject: Graves' disease What Is It? Will I Get It? Graves' disease occurs in less than one-quarter of 1 percent of the population, and every year about a half a million new cases are diagnosed. It is four to eight times more common in women than men and typically begins between the ages of 20 and 40, although it can occur in children and the elderly. While the exact cause of Graves' disease is not known, a genetic disposition to autoimmune disorders seems to be needed in order to develop the disease. Other factors that contribute to the development of Graves' disease include heredity, one's immune system, age, sex hormones and stress. Many thyroid specialists believe that Graves' disease may have its onset after an external stressor (such as death in the family), a viral infection or pregnancy. Although Graves' disease is not contagious, it has been known to occur coincidentally with husbands and wives. Symptoms Like other thyroid problems, Graves' disease usually begins slowly. Symptoms include fatigue, weight loss, restlessness, rapid heartbeat, muscle weakness (especially involving your upper arms and thighs), heat intolerance, tremors, enlarged thyroid gland, heart palpitations, increased sweating, nervousness and irritability, thinning hair, increased appetite, lighter menstrual periods and more frequent bowel movements. Graves' disease can also affect the eyes, usually an elevation of the upper eyelids, making the eyes appear larger. About 5 percent of patients, however, experience more serious problems in which the tissue behind the eyes becomes inflamed and swollen, making the eyes protrude. A few patients have blurred or double vision.

What causes hyperthyroidism? In newborns, the cause of hyperthyroidism (also called Graves disease) is a mother who has or has had Graves disease herself. Graves disease in adults is an autoimmune disorder characterized by the production of antibodies that stimulate the thyroid gland. When a pregnant woman has these antibodies, they can cross the placenta and affect the fetus' thyroid gland. Graves disease in pregnant woman can result in stillbirth, miscarriage, or premature birth. What are the symptoms of hyperthyroidism? The following are the most common symptoms of hyperthyroidism in a newborn. However, each baby may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:

Public release date: 16-Jun-2003 E-mail Article Contact: Brooke Grindlinger science_editor@the-jci.org Journal of Clinical Investigation Shedding of thyrotropin receptor subunit causes Graves disease Graves disease, the most common cause of goiter and hyperthyroidism in the United States, came to national attention in the early 1990s when former United States President and First Lady, George and Barbara Bush, developed the condition. The etiology of Graves disease is multifactorial, and nongenetic factors are thought to play an important role. Sandra McLachlan and researchers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California now show that it is an unusual structural feature of the thyrotropin receptor (TSHR) that plays a major role in the development of this disease. Graves disease is the result of the production of autoantibodies to the TSHR located on the surface of thyroid cells. These antibodies bind the TSHR and stimulate it to overproduce thyroid hormones, which results in hyperthyroidism. In the June 16 issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation, Sandra McLachlan and her team report that studies in a new adenovirus-mediated animal model of Graves disease revealed that cleavage of the TSHR A subunit can induce or amplify the immune response to the TSHR to a greater extent than the intact TSHR molecule. The data, increase our understanding as to why autoantibodies specifically arise to the TSHR, stimulate the thyroid, and result in Graves hyperthyroidism. However, the mechanisms responsible for TSHR cleavage will require further exploration.

In some people the antibodies also affect the eyes, causing them to protrude from their orbits and/or retracting the eyelids, producing a buggy-eyed or "staring" appearance, and this sometimes results in double vision and other problems. Rarelyusually in people who also have obvious eye diseasethe skin over the shins and tops of feet is affected (pretibial myxedema). Even more rarely, the myxedema can occur on other skin areas. Since thyroid imbalances affect the function of every cell and every part of the body (including the brain), Graves' Disease presents with many physical and neuropsychological symptoms, which vary somewhat from one person to another. Depending on treatment choice, it can take many monthsand often several yearsto stabilize thyroid levels, and for the mind and body to return mostly to normal. Several studies have found that a percentage of patients have ongoing problems, even after successful treatment. Following treatment, many patients

Financing Seminars SEARCH Home Thyroid Eye Disease (Graves' Disease) What is the Thyroid Gland? The thyroid gland is located in the neck. It manufactures two thyroid hormones that are essential for metabolism and growth. The thyroid takes iodine from the food we eat and uses it to make thyroid hormones. If thyroid hormones are in short supply, a person feels sluggish, has a slow heartbeat, and can even feel depressed. Doctors call this condition hypothyroidism. If a newborn has hypothyroidism, the baby can develop a condition called cretinism. The baby may have slowed development and poor intelligence unless the condition is corrected. Too much thyroid hormone is called hyperthyroidism and is also a problem. This condition is almost the exact opposite of hypothyroidism. The individual has a fast heartbeat, weight loss, nervousness, and heat intolerance. In addition, hyperthyroidism can affect the eye. One of the conditions that results in hyperthyroidism is Graves' disease. This condition afflicts a great many people. In this disease, the thyroid gland enlarges and releases too much thyroid hormone. The person can become restless and overactive, and the heart often races.
