Taylor – Sorry to hear about your daughter’s diagnosis, but I’m glad that you found us. We aren’t allowed to recommend specific doctors on this site, but you can search for docs on http://www.thyroid.org or http://www.aace.com (American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists). On the AACE site, you can specifically request a doctor who specializes in thyroid disorders. Since many endos primarily see diabetes patients, these sites can help connect you with a doctor who is more familiar with thyroid issues.

By the way, I actually just started a Graves’ Disease Support Group in Arizona. If you go to our home page and click on "Community" and then "Find a Support Group", you can get the location info. The next meeting is on August 21st at 1:30 p.m.. Right now, I would say the average age range is around 35-60, but we would love to have you and your daughter join us if you are interested.

Best of luck!

Taylor – With your computer, were you able to find a thyroid specialist? If you were unable to do it call the National Office using the toll-free number (877-643-3123) and someone (me) will be glad to walk you through the steps. The American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists site is especially good because under the name of each specialist you will see the list of all the specialties that the doctor specializes in.
If you have more questions let me know by sending an email with your question to gravesdiseasefd@gmail.org

Sincerely,
