Even though medical doctors and scientist consider this disease incurable, my personal experience proves that Graves’ Disease can be cured by treating the cause of this disease.

Also known as Proptosis or Exophthalmos, Graves Disease is caused by over active thyroid glands, also known as hyperthyroidism. The over active thyroid glands cause the muscles and tissues around the eye to become inflamed and protrude from the eye sockets. Graves Disease can damage eyesight, but is treatable.

Symptoms of Alzheimer's can include significant lapses in memory, dramatic mood changes, emotional outbursts, inability to retain new information, difficulty performing familiar everyday tasks, impaired judgment, decision-making abilities and other cognitive functions, general disorientation and confusion, and overall personality change. The symptoms gradually develop and become progressively worse. Eventually, the person is unable to care for him/herself.

My personal research and experience shows certain life situations and conditions can trigger the onset of this disease. In general this is stress, improper diet, major stress situations or a combination of these factors. In most of the cases your eyes will recover, once your tests become normal and your symptoms are under control. However there are certain methods like eye exercises, cold compress, flax seed oil, lubricating drops etc that can improve your condition and relief your pain.

In general yes- even though it may be more difficult to get pregnant when diagnosed with Graves’ Disease, since your hormones are not in the normal range. However it can also help your recovery from Graves’ Disease. Many women had successful pregnancies, but you should work together with your endocrinologist regarding proper medication.

The appearance may range from a thickened, velvety brown streaking to a leathery lesion, most often on the neck or in skin folds under the arm or breasts, around the belt line or in the groin, but it may develop elsewhere. Since stress is high on the list of headache causes and migraine triggers, stress management techniques are high on the list of headache prevention strategies. These include massage, meditation, biofeedback, and having a positive attitude.

There are some methods like meditation, yoga, Reiki that can tremendously help your condition. Even though people think that they are time consuming and will affect your disease very slowly, actually it is not true. If you do meditation everyday you’ll start feeling much better in a week. Other alternative methods to affect your symptoms are different herbal teas, cold compresses, and proper diet that will contribute for your healing. This is what I call changing lifestyle.

Lyme disease can affect any part of the body and cause many different symptoms. The commonest symptoms relate to the person feeling unwell, having flu-like symptoms, extreme tiredness, muscle pain, muscle weakness, joint pain, upset digestive system, headache, disturbances of the central nervous system and a poor sleep pattern. In some cases a characteristically shaped, expanding ‘bull’s eye’ rash appears on the skin. However, a rash in any form is not a universal symptom.

Symptoms can include angina, a discomfort caused by inadequate blood flow to the heart, which causes pain in the chest, arms, neck or back. These symptoms, if they become severe, last more than 10 to 15 minutes and are accompanied by shortness of breath, nausea, sweating or fainting, could be signs of a heart attack. Women are more likely to experience only symptoms of nausea and vomiting instead of the severe pain experienced by men when a heart attack occurs.

The vast majority of individuals with celiac disease have little in the way of gastrointestinal symptoms or have symptoms that may receive a diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome. While the classical symptoms include diarrhea, weight loss and edema, other patients may present with constipation, anemia, bone pain or bone loss, chronic fatigue, skin problems, abnormal liver chemistries, dental enamel defects and neurological symptoms such as peripheral neuropathy, ataxia or seizures.

In addition to their embarrassing, unsightly appearance, symptoms can include burning, itching, pain, leg fatigue and heaviness, throbbing, swelling, muscle cramps, even ankle sores and bleeding. Unfortunately, many physicians do not recognize vein problems as the cause of many of these symptoms.

Even if you have Graves' disease, it can take weeks, or even months, before you suspect you are sick because the symptoms build very gradually. You may think you are just experiencing stress, or feeling extra anxious. Or the disease may actually make you happy in the short term, as one of the side effects of speeding up the thyroid can be weight loss. However, in the longer term, less desirable symptoms, such as muscle weakness, insomnia and trembling can also result.

Where hyperthyroidism eye complications occur, see an eye doctor in addition to your regular physician. Smoking tends to worsen the eye problems associated with Graves' disease - yet another reason to quit. Now that you know something about hyperthyroidism, the dangers, the causes, and it's most common forms, in the next part of the series, we'll look at how hyperthyroidism is diagnosed.

The first course of action - when the disease is mild, or occurs in children or young adults, or needs to be promptly controlled (as with elderly patients whose heart disease puts them at risk from the increased heart rate associated with Grave's Disease) - is a course of antithyroid drugs, such as propylthiouracil (PTU) and methimazole (Tapazole ).

Acute gastrointestinal symptoms such as profuse water diarrhea lasting up to several weeks, also may include nausea, abdominal cramps and a low grade fever. Often tiny bacteria, parasites, and other contaminants slip through and infect your water after it leaves the reservoir. Then sediment and lead enter the water as it flows through the pipes to your tap. In addition, chlorine by-products (known carcinogens) form as chlorine mixes with organic matter in the water.

For weeks you have been aching from head to foot. You have no energy, you can't concentrate and you can't remember the last time you got a good night's sleep. You have been to the doctor a few times already and all he can tell you is what you DON'T have. Your skin does many things including protecting you from the environment, regulating your body temperature, helping with fluid and electrolyte balance, and providing receptors for sensations such as touch, pain, and pressure.

Often, the first symptom of Parkinson's disease is tremor (trembling or shaking) of a limb, especially when the body is at rest. The tremor often begins on one side of the body, frequently in one hand. Other common symptoms include slow movement (bradykinesia), an inability to move (akinesia), rigid limbs, a shuffling gait, and a stooped posture. People with Parkinson's disease often show reduced facial expressions and speak in a soft voice.

Meningococcal disease is often misdiagnosed as something less serious, because early symptoms are similar to the flu and may include high fever, severe headache, stiff neck, confusion, vomiting, exhaustion and/or a rash. Not all of these symptoms need to be present. Due to the commonality of these symptoms to less serious viral infections, disease prevention is critical.

Coronary Heart Disease (CHD), also known as coronary artery disease (CAD), is any one of several abnormal conditions that affects the arteries of the heart due to insufficient blood supply and a reduced flow of oxygen. When a coronary artery is lacking oxygen due to an interruption in the blood supply (usually caused by a blood clot or plaque build up inside the artery), an infarct can occur. An infarct is tissue death, it is permanent damage, and, in its severest form will kill the patient.
