I am looking for a list of recommended books and such for graves disease. Where can i get the latest info not only on the disease itself but the latest research on treatments.

I have already been treated with RAI 4 years ago, but now have eye problems and other issues that I would like to understand how to deal with.

We have some recommended books on our main website, take a look. We also have an extensive library of bulletins that address many of the basics about both GD and TED. In addition to that, you may want to consider running a search here on the BB for various terms that relate to your experience with the eye disease.

Finally, make plans to come to the conference this October on the east coast! We have dates scheduled (beginning October 16th, continuing through noontime on October 18th), but have not set the location. If you can make plans to attend, I know you’ll be glad you did. It is always the most current information, and as a bonus you get to meet THE most fabulous group of people you’ve ever met, bar none.

I do not see any reference to books from the main website page at http://www.ngdf.org. Is it because the site says it is under construction?

Oops, sorry about that, you’re right! If you sign up for the newsletter, that’s a good start, but I can recommend at least one of the books that’s usually listed on the main site ~ it’s called Graves’ Disease: In Our Own Words, and it’s a compilation of posts from earlier years on this BB, bulletins on various topics that come up a lot here, and other independent sections put together by some of our medical advisers. It’s likely the most comprehensive book JUST on Graves’ and TED. The site listed several good basic books on thyroid disease in general, but I don’t recall the titles or authors. You can probably do a search in the old posts for "recommended reading" and some of those titles will pop up.

I’m not sure how the bulletins are being handled ~ there used to be a certain number available upon paying to become a member, then small fees for more, but I’m not sure how that information is being handled at this point. There’s a certain amount of updating and standardizing going on right now, so stay tuned. I believe Nancy Patterson has access to a great deal of the old material, so you could send her a private message and end up with what you’re looking for.

The new site will be fantastic, I’ve secretly peeked at one of the more recent versions. ” title=”Wink” /> Coming soon, I’m looking forward to it!
