Thyroid eye disease. It is where your system starts to attck your fat and muscles in the orbits (sockets) and your eyes can have symptoms, which one or more can be dry itchy watery Geary swollen eye balls, retracted eye lids, swollen bags under the eyes, double vision, blurry vision, wide eye stare. I have watery, Geary dry, swollen eyeball, swollen bags double vision, vision loss only 25% of graves gets the eye issue so don’t sweat it, not every one does. I was Dx last year ago 7/1/10 now that I know I actually was hyperthyroid 8 years ago with mild eye issues and did not know it. I had all of the symptoms but I pushed it off to moving and starting a new biz that was creating all of the weight loss and eye stuff back then. If I knew then what I know now…. But it’s all good. It’s better then the alternative. ” title=”Very Happy” />

I’ve been reading through the posts and have no idea what "TED" is. Can someone enlighten me please.
Since I am new to Graves some of the abbreviations are like a foreign language.
Thanks much
Gayle
