Have you had your thyroid levels checked recently? When you go hypo it can sometime cause TED to develop. I’ve had TED since 2011, it went into remission but then came back and now I’m on high dose IV steroids for the next 12 weeks to stall it. The eye specialist told me to get my levels checked ASAP and my T4 was off so I went from 100 mcg of Synthroid to 125 mcg of Synthroid. An opthamologist would be a good place to start to diagnose the TED, if it’s happening. I know it’s scary but it’s better to find out right away–it can progress in a big way very quickly sometimes. Good luck and keep us posted.
