I have had hypothyroidism since 1991 and after having covid in 2020 it escalated to hashimotos and then Thyroid Eye Disease.... my thyroid meds have changed 15 or 20 times since 2020 and now I take two thyroid meds and get checked every 6 months... some of your symptoms will improve with some exercise and determination. Hang in there❣️

bereese, thank you for sharing. I wish that I even felt determined to exercise!

I developed the bulging eyes you can get with TEDs. I elected to have the surgery vs that 500,000-dollar biologic that works 80% of the time. The surgery has a success rate of 95% and Dr. Soparker , here in Houston, who is a PhD, MD, plastic surgeon invented the procedure.
Now the eye orbs have been pulled back into each space, and I look normal again. Medicare paid for the surgeries.
