Re: New to Grave's...Hoping someone can help me

[Guest guest]

Hi -

Thyroid storm is generally diagnosed by a fever over 100 F (37.8 C), a very

fast heartrate out of proportion to the temperature, a screwed up central

nervous system, cardiovascular system or digestive system and exaggerated

peripheral manifestations of thyrotoxicosis (for example excessive shaking

and sweating).

(in laymen's terms from Emergency Medicine: A comprehensive guide).

Take care,
