Welcome to Elaine Moore's personal web site, which is intended for the support and education of patients with Graves' disease and other autoimmune thyroid disorders. Site last updated Feb 22, 2003.
Here, you'll learn about the autoimmune nature, treatment, symptoms and diagnosis of Graves' disease, and related topics such as GD in pregnancy and in children, Graves' ophthalmopathy, pretibial myxedema, subclinical thyroid conditions and thyroid lymphoma. And although I haven't yet added all the links to this site, I have several new articles on GD on www.suite101.com.
See the 2002 Thyroid Testing Guideline recommendations at the NACB Website Join the Graves/Hyperthyroidism board at About.com where I'm the Expert Guest Editor. Join our lively discussions at Mediboard and learn from the experiences of others.

And who is Daisy?
