Thought everyone would like to know that in the MAy 1999 issure of “The JOhn Hopkins Medical Letter – Health After 50”, ther was an informative article on graves (2 of the 8 pages). This articel noted that soon to released guidelines from the American Thyroid Association will recommend that all adults 35 and older undergo thyroid testing every 5 years.
I thought this was good news for those to follow us current graves patients. Maybe they will find sooner diagosis and care. It is also a good sign that the medical [rofession is starting to recognize how widespread and serious graves cvan be .
