The Hashimoto Thyreoiditis and Morbus Basedow website is an informational and peer-support resource focused on autoimmune thyroid disorders. It explains that the term autoimmune thyroid disease covers Hashimoto thyroiditis and Graves’ disease, while noting that symptoms and disease courses vary from person to person.

The site provides educational information about each condition, including causes, symptoms and treatment. Its Hashimoto section describes autoimmune thyroid underactivity and discusses possible symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, low mood and sensitivity to cold. The Graves’ disease section covers autoimmune thyroid overactivity, potential symptoms including restlessness, sweating, weight loss and a rapid heartbeat, and the possible involvement of the eyes.

Separate discussion forums give people affected by either condition a place to ask questions and exchange views. The website says its medical information was prepared by Dr. L. Brakebusch and Prof. Dr. A. E. Heufelder, while forum advice is primarily shared by lay participants, some with substantial experience. The site emphasizes that its information and forums do not replace a visit to a doctor.
