Graves

[flo-jo100]

Am I right in saying to have graves you have to have high antibodies. Is graves the same as thyroid eye disease?

[437jd]

Yes antibodies need to present alongside hyper thyroid symptoms in order to be

Graves’ disease but I think Ted, although closely linked to Graves, can also be a separate issue for some people too. The two don’t necessarily come together but if you’ve got one of the diseases there is an increased chance you may get the other.

Please correct me if I’m wrong🙂

I had Graves with all 3 antibodies - tsi, atpo, atg. Eye disease is a complication of Graves
