WebMD Fail: Graves Disease

I don't mean any disrespect for those suffering from Graves disease, but what I will put forth are some of the warning signs in case you, or someone you know is quietly suffering. Here is the official rundown: 

First described by Sir Robert Graves in the early 19th century , Graves' disease is one of the most common of all thyroid problems . It is also the leading cause of hyperthyroidism , a condition in which the thyroid gland produces excessive hormones . Once the disorder has been correctly diagnosed, it is quite easy to treat . In some cases , Graves' disease goes into remission or disappears completely after several months or years . Left untreated , however , it can lead to serious complications  --  even death. Although the symptoms can cause discomfort, Graves ' disease generally has no long - term adverse health consequences if the patient receives prompt and proper medical care .
