    My dad has graves disease- it was untreated for most of his life because of his poor upbringing. but I do not think I inherited it from him. I thought that the reason I have it is because of my busy successful but stressful career and bringing up two young girls (although admittedly that part doesnt require much as I live with others who take care of them). But what I believe and what medical opinion says are two different things I am learning. I think I need to read more.
