Hi em,
You asked who Jake is. He is the online facilatator for the
Graves’ Disease Bullentin Board. If you click on the green
National Graves’ Disease Foundation logo at the top of the
page it will take you to their site. His name and number is
listed there along with all the good stuff and info provided
by the NGDF.
If you fill out your e-mail address when you post then
others can reply directly to you too. 
Michele B.
