@rose47 I’m so sorry that you have thyroid eye disease. It must be so difficult in your daily life. I included a link to Mayo Clinic’s information because it talks about treatment for the eye disease.

Are you seeing an ophthalmologist for the double vision? I had it when I first got my autoimmune disease. Through my eye doctor, i was able to see an eye therapist who gave me some exercises for my eyes.
What treatment are you now getting for the eye disease?

Hi Becky, I'm not currently getting any treatment. See my Endocrinologist next week and Ophthalmologist the following week. My body needs to adjust to being without a thyroid, it's pretty out of whack right now. I hope to find out what my next step will be after seeing my doctors. No one has mentioned an eye therapist but am adding that to my list of questions for my doctor, thank you. I am hoping to connect with others that have this disease. No one understands what I am going through, even my husband, as wonderful as his is, cannot understand. It has been a very long 2 years since I was diagnosed.
