Hi!
Thanks for the input about the chemosis. I guess I was wondering if it’s a classic sign of TED or, if others had had it prior to TED. I know that it’s some type of thickening of the conjunctiva, but don’t know exactly what causes it. I also have little red bumps on the inner white (cornea?) of the same eye that itch like the dickens, thus why the 2 drs are saying allergies (keeping my toes crossed!). I just gave the 1-800-THYROID a call today and asked them to send me out a list of opthomologists who specialize in Graves’. I thought about calling around or asking my endo for a referral, but I don’t even trust THAT!! Know what you mean about that part!!
Thanks!
Kathleen
