Lots of list members have asked me for the article on the AMJ  publication about the methylphenidate study.  Since so many of  tham are also thyroid patients, I'd like to suggest another helpful  article on the subject.  I just learned about it yesterday, its  also about cognitive dysfunction but it's due to what is called  "Hashimoto's Encephalopathy."  Don't write yourself out of the  picture if you have Graves' disease...you likely also have the anti-TPO  antibodies that are prevalent in Hashimoto's disease. There is  treatment available, but with risks.  I guess it would depend on  how dysfunctional you are willing to be.
  
  You can find the study at www.thyroid-info.com/helpsfaq.htm
  
  or email me, I'll send you the article on an attachment en toto.
