GRAVES' DISEASE
Graves’ is considered a chronic disease and it can be managed. I want other men to know there is a light at the end of the tunnel and it’s not a freight train heading at you. A number of men think that asking for help is a sign of weakness. I was one of them. WHAT’S WRONG WITH ME Changes in emotion and behavior are very common in patients with Graves’ disease. The changes may include emotional liability, nervousness, restlessness, irritability, fatigue and insomnia. These symptoms are very similar to those experienced by people with anxiety disorder or clinical depression. These changes are often what leadpatients to
GRAVES' PATIENTS & NON-PRESCRIPTION DRUGS by Norman Tomaka, C.R.Ph.An acute symptom is one that comes on suddenly. Acute problems, such as a headache, postnasal drip, or muscular pain due to exercise, often are not serious conditions, and may be treated with a properly chosen over-the-counter medication. Remember, however, that selfmedication may be challenging if a patient is taking prescription or nonprescription medication. GLAUCOMA AND GRAVES' DISEASE James C. Orcutt, M.D., Ph.D.Elevated eye pressure is extremely common in patients with Graves’ eye disease. However, this does not necessarily mean that glaucoma is also common in Graves’ disease. Glaucoma is elevation of pressure within the eye which eventually leads to diminution of side vision and damage to the sight nerve which can be seen by the ophthalmologist when he looks in the eye. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Although Graves' disease most frequently occurs in women in the middle decades (8:1 more than men), it also occurs in children and in the elderly. There are several elements contributing to the development of Graves' disease. There is a genetic predisposition to autoimmune disorders. InfectionsGRAVES' DISEASE

ABOUT GRAVES' DISEASE Graves’ disease, also known as toxic diffuse goiter, is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism - a disorder that occurs when the thyroid gland makes more thyroid hormone than the body needs. The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in the front of the neck below the larynx, or voice box. The thyroid gland makes two thyroidhormones

by C. D. McCord, M.D., F.A.C.S.The inflammation that occurs with Graves’ disease can cause severe scarring of the muscles in the eyelids and extra fat and tissue deposits which cause the eyelids to be puffy and retracts the eyelids away from the eye causing exposure of the eye. These changes alter a person’s appearance in a disturbing way but also introduces a medical problem of exposure THYROIDECTOMY FOR GRAVES' Thyroidectomy is a very reasonable treatment for pregnant women with Graves’ hyperthyroidism because it avoids the need for antithyroid medications during pregnancy and the effects of radioiodine therapy on the unborn baby. Furthermore, normal thyroid levels are very important to the developing fetus. GRAVES' OPHTHALMOPATHY AND RADIATION THERAPY by Harvey Wolkov, M.D.The ophthalmopathy or eye changes associated with thyroid disease are most often associated with the thyroid hyperfunction accompanying Graves’ disease.

George and Barbara Bush have given an overactive thyroid a certain cachet. In the public mind, Graves’ disease is now seen as a “good-news” ailment, not at all bad to have. So when the President’s irregular heart beat was attributed to his thyroid gland, everyone breathed a sign of relief. BETA BLOCKERS IN GRAVES' DISEASE by Chalet A. DeCapito, PharmD; Timothy W.

Block, M.D., F.A.C.P.Osteoporosis, a condition of excessive loss of bone and mass resulting in increased incidence of fractures of the spine, hip and wrist, occurs in increased frequency in patients who have longstanding hyperthyroidism. The hyperthyroidism can be the result of having an undiagnosed thyroid condition resulting in increased thyroid hormone production or due to THYROID HORMONE REPLACEMENT AND OTHER MEDICATIONS by M. Carol Greenlee, M.D., F.A.C.P.Thyroid hormone therapy is prescribed to treat low thyroid levels or hypothyroidism. Brand name products, such as Synthroid ®, Levothroid®, or Levoxyl® are preferred over generic brands because the dosage will be more exact. The dose of thyroid hormone will be adjusted for each patient individually. The TSH (thyroid- stimulating hormone) measurement is NEUROPSYCHIATRIC COMPLAINTS IN GRAVES' PATIENTS One hundred thirty-seven patients with treated Graves’ disease completed a questionnaire pertaining to neuropsychiatric complaints. Psychiatric symptoms, especially anxiety and irritability, were common prior to treatment of hyperthyroidism.

For men, I recommend the Every Man Jack line of LIVING WITH GRAVES' DISEASE It is not only an “attitude,” but a learnable skill. Relaxation is more than just “getting away”. It is a positive and satisfying experience that gives peace of mind. It is well documented that Graves’ disease is also a stress-related and stress-mediated illness. The “stress” is often simply a result of the fast-paced,action
ABOUT GRAVES' DISEASE Graves’ disease, also known as toxic diffuse goiter, is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism - a disorder that occurs when the thyroid gland makes more thyroid hormone than the body needs. The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in the front of the neck below the larynx, or voice box. The thyroid gland makes two thyroidhormones
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Although Graves' disease most frequently occurs in women in the middle decades (8:1 more than men), it also occurs in children and in the elderly.

by Robert H. Spector, M.D.Sir Robert Graves, MD., first described the association of hyperthyroidism, goiter and exophthalmos in 1835. Since then, other eye-related findings have been described in patients with Graves’ disease, including swelling and edema of the conjunctival surface of the eye (chemosis), prominence of the tiny blood vessels overlying the white (sclera) part of the eye, as ME, BUSH AND GRAVES’ DISEASE by Abigail TraffordMany thyroid patients face an emotional roller coaster. George and Barbara Bush have given an overactive thyroid a certain cachet. In the public mind, Graves’ disease is now seen as a “good-news” ailment, not at all bad to have. So when the President’s irregular heart beat was attributed to his thyroid gland, everyone breathed a sign of relief. BETA BLOCKERS IN GRAVES' DISEASE by Chalet A. DeCapito, PharmD; Timothy W. Lowrey, PharmD; and William J. Millard, Ph.D.Inderal® (propranolol), a beta (β)-adrenergic blocking agent, is often used in patients with Graves’ disease. Such therapy is thought to result in more rapid relief of some of the signs and symptoms, but it has no effect on the fundamental disease. OSTEOPOROSIS AND THYROID DISEASE by Marshall B. Block, M.D., F.A.C.P.Osteoporosis, a condition of excessive loss of bone and mass resulting in increased incidence of fractures of the spine, hip and wrist, occurs in increased frequency in patients who have longstanding hyperthyroidism. The hyperthyroidism can be the result of having an undiagnosed thyroid condition resulting in increased thyroid hormone production or due to THYROID HORMONE REPLACEMENT AND OTHER MEDICATIONS by M. Carol Greenlee, M.D., F.A.C.P.Thyroid hormone therapy is prescribed to treat low thyroid levels or hypothyroidism. Brand name products, such as Synthroid ®, Levothroid®, or Levoxyl® are preferred over generic brands because the dosage will be more exact. The dose of thyroid hormone will be adjusted for each patient individually. The TSH (thyroid- stimulating hormone) measurement is NEUROPSYCHIATRIC COMPLAINTS IN GRAVES' PATIENTS One hundred thirty-seven patients with treated Graves’ disease completed a questionnaire pertaining to neuropsychiatric complaints. Psychiatric symptoms, especially anxiety and irritability, were common prior to treatment of hyperthyroidism. These complaints appeared to result in delays in seeking treatment as well as delays in receiving AN OPEN LETTER TO HUSBANDS OF GRAVES' PATIENTS by David BosDear Husband of Graves’, This letter is to all of us who are or were married to someone with Graves’ disease. It is a letter from my heart as I know of no other way to talk about it.
