I heard something about this but I would be surprised if anything comes of it. There are fewer people with Graves' disease than people that suffer with hypothyroid. I wonder if more men suffered with thyroid disease would the medical profession actually look for a cure or even give better treatment. Sorry to any men who suffer with thyroid disease but it is man's world in my honest opinion. When I used to take my husband to my appointments to see my Endocrinologist he would talk to my husband instead of me. I felt like telling him I was the actual patient not my husband.
I felt too ill to fight my corner because I was virtually bedridden because I had been left untreated for over 2 years. I was very thin and I was balding with shaking and sweating. Now I feel well I would not have stood for it and I tell doctors exactly what I think if I disagree with them.
