http://www.thyroid.ca/Guides/HG07.html

Extractions: Graves' eye disease is an eye condition which occurs in about 50% of patients who currently have, or have had, Graves' hyperthyroidism. However, approximately 10% of patients who have this eye disorder never develop hyperthyroidism. The reasons for the association of hyperthyroidism with the eye disease are unknown. Graves' eye disease, like Graves' hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto's thyroiditis, is an autoimmune disorder. It is caused by the reaction of antibodies and certain white blood cells called lymphocytes, with proteins in eye muscle and the connective tissue and fat around the eyeball. This condition must be distinguished from the mild eye signs of "poppy" eyes and spasm of the eye lids which occur in most hyperthyroid patients due to an effect of excessive thyroid hormones. Top The characteristic features of Graves' eye disease are symptoms of inflammation of the eye tissues. The eyes are painful, red and watery - particularly in sunshine or wind. The covering of the eye is inflamed and swollen.

Extractions: What could happen if this disease is left untreated? See also . . . Graves' Disease is a type of autoimmune disease in which the immune system over stimulates the thyroid gland, causing hyperthyroidism . Over-activity of the thyroid gland is also sometimes called "diffuse toxic goiter." The thyroid gland helps set the rate of metabolism (the rate at which the body uses energy), and when it is over-stimulated, it produces more thyroid hormones than the body needs. High levels of thyroid hormones can cause difficult side effects. This is an extremely rare disease that tends to affect women over the age of 20. The incidence is about 5 in 10,000 people. An autoimmune disease occurs when the body's immune system becomes misdirected and attacks the very organs, cells, or tissues that it was designed to protect. About 75% of autoimmune diseases occur in women, most frequently during their childbearing years. What are the symptoms of Graves' Disease?

Extractions: ]. The latter effects are probably indirect, occurring because the decreased serum thyroid hormone concentrations secondarily reduce thyroid cellular activity, thereby reducing thyroidal antigen presentation to intrathyroidal T lymphocytes and diminishing thyrotropin (TSH)-receptor antibody production [ ]. The observation that perchlorate, an unrelated drug that competes with iodine for thyroidal uptake, also lowers TSH-receptor antibody production as the hyperthyroidism comes under control is compatible with the notion that decreased hormone production has immunomodulatory effects [

Extractions: Click on link For patients, I believe these four factors are vital to coping with this disease constructively: SUPPORT INFORMATION FINDING THE RIGHT DOCTOR SELF-CARE 1. SUPPORT Graves' Disease brings a unique set of problems. Misconceptions about the disease and lack of understanding from others can leave the affected person feeling isolated and invalidated. For those who have moderate to severe forms of the eye disease, known as Graves' Ophthalmopathy or Thyroid Eye Disease (TED), these problems are compounded by the changes in physical appearance which damage self-esteem, especially as negative reactions from others become apparent. The result for the Graves' Disease patient may be that emotional support systems disintegrate at the time they are most needed. Support groups can make all the difference; but unfortunately, there are few availablethough the National Graves' Disease Foundation does have meetings in some cities (check the website for details).

The Association Between Cigarette Smoking And Ocular Diseases
The association between cigarette smoking and ocular diseases such as graves' Ophthamopathy. From the Hong Kong Medical Journal.
http://www.hkmj.org.hk/hkmj/abstracts/v6n2/195.htm

Extractions: DATA SYNTHESIS: Cigarette smoking is an important risk factor for cardiovascular, respiratory, and malignant diseases. There is also a strong association between smoking and a number of common eye diseases, which include Graves' ophthalmopathy, age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, and cataract. Despite the multifactorial aetiology of these ocular syndromes, smoking is an independent risk factor that has dose-response effects. It causes morphological and functional changes to the lens and retina due to its atherosclerotic and thrombotic effects on the ocular capillaries. Smoking also enhances the generation of free radicals and decreases the levels of antioxidants in the blood circulation, aqueous humour, and ocular tissue. Thus, the eyes are more at risk of having free-radical and oxidation attacks in smokers.

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.
