   Extractions: About Graves' Disease The leading cause of hyperthyroidism, Graves' disease represents a basic defect in the immune system, causing production of immunoglobulins (antibodies) which stimulate and attack the thyroid gland, causing growth of the gland and overproduction of thyroid hormone. Similar antibodies may also attack the tissues in the eye muscles and in the pretibial skin (the skin on the front of the lower leg). Fatigue Weight Loss Restlessness Tachycardia (rapid heart beat) Changes in libido (sex drive) Muscle weakness Heat intolerance Tremors Enlarged thyroid gland Heart palpitations Increased sweating Blurred or double vision Eye complaints, such as redness and swelling

   Extractions: Medstudents' Homepage Thyrotoxicosis are the clinical, physiologic and biochemical syndromes that result when tissues are exposed to, and respond to high levels of thyroid hormone. In most instances, thyrotoxicosis is due to hyperactivity of thyroid gland, or hyperthyroidism (hypermetabolism). Occasionally, thyrotoxicosis may be due to other causes such as excessive ingestion of thyroid hormone or secretion form ectopic sites. There are various forms of thyrotoxicosis and the most common is Graves’ Disease. Graves’ disease, also known as Parry’s or Basedow’s disease or diffuse toxic goiter, is a disorder with three major manifestations: hyperthyroidism with diffuse goiter, ophthalmopathy, and dermopathy. They do not appear together. Indeed, one or two need never appear, and moreover, the three may run courses that are largely independent of one another. It is the most common form of thyrotoxicosis. It affects as many as 1.9 per cent of the female population. The ratio of women to men is as high as 7:1. It reaches its peak incidence between the third and forth decades and the reason for the female predominance in this as in all thyroid diseases is unknown. Genetic factors play an important role, since there is an increased frequency haplotypes HLA-B8 and -DRw3 in Caucasian, HLA-Bw36 in Japanese, and HLA-Bw46 in Chinese patients with the disease. Graves’ disease is currently viewed as an autoimmune disease of unknown cause. Hyperthyroidism is its principal manifestation, yet TSH is suppressed and no intrinsic abnormalities in the gland have been identified.

   http://www.thedoctorsdoctor.com/diseases/pretibial_myxedema.htm
   
   Extractions: Background This is an uncommon complication of Grave's disease, occurring in 1-4% of patients. There is a diffuse, non-pitting edema and thickening of the skin usually on the anterior aspect of the lower legs spreading to the dorsum of the feet. Advanced cases may involve the upper trunk, upper extremities, face, neck, and ears. The lesions resolve very slowly. It occasionally occurs in non-thyrotoxic Grave's disease, autoimmune thyroiditis, and stasis dermatitis. The serum contains circulating factors which stimulate fibroblasts to increase synthesis of glycosaminoglycans. Biopsy of the skin reveals mucin in the mid to lower dermis. There is no increase in fibroblasts. With time, there may be secondary hyperkeratosis which may become verruciform. Many of these patients may also have co-existing stasis dermatitis. Elastic stains will reveal a reduction in elastic tissue.

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.

Please feel free to visit our Home Page or check out other eye conditions on our Eye Conditions page GRAVES EYE DISEASE OR Infiltrative Thyroid Ophthalmopathy Janet's page Hyperthyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland produces a greater than normal amount of hormone. It occurs in a number of diseases, including Graves' disease, toxic goitre, thyroiditis and ingestion of excessive amounts of thyroid hormones. Excessive levels of thyroid hormones give rise to weight loss, rapid hart, tremor, sweating and changes in the nails, skin and hair. Subjectively, a person will notice nervousness, heat intolerance and hart palpitations. Prominent eyes or Proptosis Inability to close eyes Graves' disease is a term used to describe the commonest variety of hyperthyroidism, which is regarded as having an autoimmune basis. Autoimmune disease may be understood as a process by which the body sees some part of itself as being foreign and reacts to it much the same way that it would with any bacteria or virus. In the case of Graves' disease, the body sees the thyroid gland as the foreign object and produces antibodies that attack the thyroid gland. This will often (but not in all cases) cause the thyroid gland to become over active. Graves' eye disease is currently believed to be due to a similar autoimmune reaction. However, in the case of

This is a question that is often asked of the National Graves' Disease Foundation (NGDF). The NGDF is a non-profit organization that strives to provide patient support and education on Graves' disease and its treatments. Treatments for Graves' disease include antithyroid drugs (ATDs), radioactive iodine therapy (R-131), and thyroidectomy (surgical removal of the thyroid gland). Once it is diagnosed, treatment for Graves' disease is fairly straightforward. Ideally, doctors assess patients to determine the best treatment options. Together, doctor and patient decide upon a treatment plan and treatment begins.

    Extractions: Grave's Disease was one of the very first chronic conditions directly linked to "stress". I can remember sitting in class as a sophomore in medical school and hearing the professor explain this to all of us. He even quoted Selye, who now is considered the top expert in the world in the area of how chronic stress-effect in the hypothalamus alters the signals sent to the thyroid. Here it is, more than 40 years later and conventional docs still don't practice this. Apparently more money can be made treating the condition than teaching people HOW to help themselves. If there were a prescription that dealt with the stress-effect, it would have been the "treatment of choice" long ago.

    http://www.visionchannel.net/graves/
    
    Extractions: Overview Graves’ ophthalmopathy (GO) is a condition that primarily affects the extraocular muscles, the muscles that rotate the eyeball up, down, and to the sides. It is closely associated with Graves’ disease, an autoimmune disorder that causes the thyroid to produce excess thyroid hormone (hyperthyroidism). Graves’ ophthalmopathy is also known as thyroid eye disease or thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy. In GO, an unknown antigen (substance that triggers an immune response) activates lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell), which infiltrate extraocular muscle tissue and other orbital tissues, producing inflammation and causing the tissues to swell. The swollen eye muscles force the eyeball to bulge out of the bony orbit (i.e., eye socket). GO and Graves’ disease are two separate conditions that run independent courses. GO may occur long before, at the same time as, or long after thyroid disease is diagnosed and treated. Although most patients with Graves’ disease have Graves’ ophthalmopathy, about 10% of patients with GO have normal thyroid function.
