Corey, some good Graves reading

August 26, 2003

Good morning Corey,

A good place to get some information regarding Graves is:

Elaine has a collection of excellent and informative articles

there.

You sparked a lively debate on RAI and it was very informative reading.

Have you and your wife discussed getting copies of all her lab results

yet? I know I'd like to help both of you and so would everyone else

here. But the labs are very important to see what is truly going on.

Like I said in an e-mail yesterday I was overmedicated in the past on

ATDs as I was only being monitored by my TSH level.

Most of us here just hate to see anyone as young as your wife agree to a

treatment option that is so permanent and can't be undone. It also has

some serious risks and side effects which may or may not happen to her.

Just wanted to check in with you and let you know I care about helping

you and your wife get through this disease.
