Job Accommodation Network's Searchable Online Accommodation Resource (SOAR) Accommodation Ideas Graves' Disease Graves' disease (toxic divuse goiter) is characterized by hyperthyroidism and one or more of the following: goiter, exophthalmos, and pretibial myxedema. Many symptoms and signs are associated with Graves' disease. The more common signs are goiter, moist skin, tremor, eye signs (stare, lid lag, and irritation), nervousness, fatigue, and weakness. From: http://www.merckmanual.com Accommodation ideas for individuals with Graves' Disease: Managing fatigue: An individual with Graves' disease may benefit from a flexible work schedule, liberal use of leave time, being allowed to work from home, a reduction or elimination of physical exertion and workplace stress, scheduled rest breaks away from the workstation, and ergonomic workstation design Working specific schedules: An individual with a Graves' disease often needs a set dayshift rather than a late or rotating shift due to problems with sleep regulation and fatigue.

124. Comparing Conventional And Holistic Healing Suggestions For Graves' Disease Comparing Conventional and Holistic Healing Suggestions for graves disease. graves disease runs its own course which has its own end. http://www.naturalhealth.org/articles/comparingconventional.htm

Comparing Conventional and Holistic Healing Suggestions for Graves' Disease by Elaine Moore October 6, 2000 Graves' disease is an autoimmune hyperthyroid disorder occasionally affecting the skin and eyes. In Graves' disease, the immune system is both hyperactive (in its eagerness to produce auto-antibodies), and it is incompetent or deficient in CD8 suppressor T lymphocytes. These cells which would ordinarily stop auto-antibodies from forming. For this reason we don't want to stimulate or suppress the immune system. We do want to strengthen or modulate it. The conventional approach to treating Graves' disease is to limit the amount of thyroid hormone circulating in the blood. This is accomplished by 1)antithyroid drugs which inhibit thyroid hormone production; these drugs, which also slow down the immune system, are used until the patient goes into spontaneous remission 2)radioiodine ablation in which thyroid cells are destroyed, thereby limiting the amount of thyroid tissue available for producing thyroid hormone; patients nearly always eventually become hypothyroid and 3) surgery, usually a partial thyroidectomy in which the majority of the thyroid gland is removed. Alternative medicine has the same goal. Holistic methods also aim to reduce the amount of thyroid hormone produced by the gland. However, alternative methods also target the immune system which is the underlying source of the problem. Many Graves' disease patients have gone into remission using alternative means alone, while others have used a combination of antithyroid drugs and alternative medicine. Still others have used antithyroid drugs until their thyroid levels fell into the normal range, and weaned themselves off these drugs while using alternative medicine.

University of Newcastle The Institute of Human Genetics Research Molecular Genetics and Cell Biology of Inherited Disease and Cancer ... search Graves' disease Project Leader(s): Dr S Pearce Autoimmune thyroid diseases are the commonest autoimmune disorders affecting at least 2% of women. About 30% of subjects with Graves' disease have a member of the immediate family who has also had an autoimmune condition, most commonly autoimmune thyroid disease, so there is a strong inherited component. Graves' disease is caused by antibodies stimulating activity of the thyroid gland leading to hyperthyroidism. As candidate genes are difficult to define for autoimmune conditions, we have also taken a separate approach, studying gene expression profiles from CD4 lymphocytes from patients with cured Graves' disease and from healthy control subjects using microarray analysis. This has produced a lot of data that we are currently working through, and attempting to validate using other assays. This work has been generously funded by the British Thyroid Foundation.
