Summary: An Extensive Guide to Learning How to Live With Graves
Comment: Whether you have just been diagnosed with Graves Disease or have been living with it for a while now, this book is a MUST have.
This book has become my bible on living with Graves Disease. When I first sat down with it I felt a little intimidated, felt I would never be able to understand all of this and to learn from it. Nothing could be farther from the truth! Ms. Moore has written a book that can be understood by anyone with or without a medical degree, it raises questions and gives answers that never seem to be addressed by our doctors. The first time reading I sat with a highlighter and a pen, thumb through my dog-eared copy now, I have many notes of 'this is me!' because her descriptions of what is going on in our bodies is so accurate. I have highlighted many areas that have raised questions only to find the answers within a page or two.
To live with Graves, one must become proactive in their chosen treatment. In my opinion, this book will help you learn how to do this very quickly. It will teach you all of the W's, What, When, Where, Why, and How, you will learn when to call your doctor and request labs, what the labs mean, questions to ask and answers to wait for, the role stress plays in our lives, what role antibodies play, the eye disease, what supplements are aids for us,. It covers the full spectrum of GD in an understandable way. Read it from cover to cover, or skip around, think of any question relating to Graves, go to the index and you will find an answer. It is a book, not just for Graves patients and their families, but for our doctors who treat us as well.

Summary: The Most Informative and Helpful Book about Graves'
Comment: I recommend this be the first book read by everyone (and their family and concerned friends) who has recently been diagnosed with Graves' Disease.
Diagnosed just a few months ago, the indepth and well researched information presented in this book by Elaine Moore has helped me considerably to understand what is happening to me and to choose and manage my treatment with more confidence, rather than getting frustrated with more web searches and/or blindly depending on what the doctors tell me. There is information in this book that I have not found in any other book on the subject (or the web) and certainly not from any of the 4 doctors I've already consulted with.
Get this book first! Don't make the same mistake I did by spending all that time on fustrating web searches and money on other books, and still wondering and worrying about my situation. Search the web and get the other books later but start with Elaine Moore's Graves' Disease: A Practical Guide. Your mind and body will benefit from it.

Summary: Thorough but biased view of the disease
Comment: I bought this book when I was first diagnosed with Graves Disease. It provides a great deal of information, but the section on personal stories does not provide a wide enough view of treatment options. Every story detailing a certain treatment ended badly and there was nothing good to say about it. The book is generally biased against specific treatments, so I do not feel it tells the whole story.
