Pregnancy and Autoimmune Thyroid Disease
Thyroid hormones impact female reproduction in several ways. In some cases it can cause menstruation to stop, make it more difficult to conceive and carry a pregnancy, increase the risk of miscarriage and gestational diabetes.

Signposts for Thyroid Testing
The American Academy of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) designates each January as Thyroid Awareness Month. This year, the campaign identified three life changing events that are most often linked with thyroid disease particularly in women: after the birth of a baby (post-partum); menopause; after the 60th birthday. These stellar events in a woman's life are also the times when she is most likely to develop thyroid disease.

Autoimmune Disease A Leading Cause of Death in Women
The most common cause of thyroid disease is autoimmune. The response of the body's immune system turning on its own cells. Now researchers have concluded that autoimmune disease may be the 8th leading cause of death in women ages 15 to 64.

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.

Standards of Laboratory Practice for Thyroid Disease
The ATA and NACB are asking for comment on the proposed changes in the "Laboratory Support for the Diagnosis and Monitoring of Thyroid Disease". The guidelines for cost-effective use of laboratory testing. Members of these organizations are asked to comment. They hope to have the monograph finalized by the Kyoto International Congress on Thyroid Disease in October, 2000.

The Horrible Hives
Hives can last only hours (acute urticaria) or several years (chronic urticaria). Multitudes of factors can cause a case of hives including foods, medications, animals, insects, chemicals, sun and extreme temperatures. There are several treatment possibilities for this annoying skin condition, even for the most chronic cases.
