    What is recommended to proivde to family members to teach them about what graves disease is? I need something that is thorough enough that describes what it is, symptoms, treatments, etc. Not too short either. Somewhat educational – not just high level overview.

    My family members have gone from thinking I was just somewhat hypcondriac to now concerned I might be dying. I have changed so much in how I look in the last year that I think i scare them. I do appreciate their concern but would really like to provde some written material to them.

    If our home page link is working (we are redoing the home page) there is a link to information about Graves’ disease.

    I may also suggest you buy "Graves’ Disease In Our Own Words" as it has a few chapters on family and how to deal with us as well as easy to understand language on what Graves’ disease is and how it effects us.

    The GDF new website isn’t functioning quite yet.

    There are some brochures about Graves’ Disease and hyperthyroidism (and treatments) at the American Thyroid Association website, http://www.thyroid.org If you don’t like those, there are some guides you can print out at the Thyroid Foundation of Canada’s website:
