Betty Davis Eyes… (Part I)
TED (thyroid eye disease) affects approximately 50% of people with Graves' Disease, but did you know it can also affect those with Hashimotos thyroiditis. The same antibodies in autoimmune thyroid disease that attack the thyroid can also attack the tissues around the eyes causing symptoms from redness and irritation to bulging and disfigurement.

What's the Rush?
Many patients who are diagnosed with Graves' disease are rushed into having aggressive treatment. This is not a time when patients, who are already impatient and impulsive, should be rushing. This is the time to study treatment options carefully and decide what works for you, considering both short and long term consequences.

Autoimmune Disease A Leading Cause of Death in Women

Dear Doctor;
This is a place for individuals and physicians to come and explore the patient doctor relationship. It is a place to write to your doctor (without being known or using names) and share what you have found of great help from him or her or what you feel you could use in your (or your loved ones) care. It is a place for the doctor's to participate and answer back or ask questions without being known either if they wish. It is my hope in doing so we can bridge any gaps between the doctor/patient relationship and assist others in understanding what is needed or helpful in finding the best care. (Please note: This is not a place to receive advice or care from a physican. This is just a forum for writing notes about what we have and are learning in our care or that of our loved one.)
