Thank you Kimberly! That is good advice and I will be sure to be more specific. Based on my “perfect” labs, Endo put me on birth control pills and told me to up my iron, D and selenium supplements (even though I already take tons, I am still deficient because of the disease causing absorbtion problems). B/C pills seem to have helped somewhat.
I just saw the Ophthalmologist yesterday for an eval (no signs of TED yet, but he wants to do annual monitoring). I asked about options for surgery, etc. when and if it does happen. My cousin has had TED and exophthalmos (pretty sure I’ve spelled that wrong
for 7 years so I’m super paranoid about my eyes. The doc actually told me that they only do surgery to save the eye if you are about to go blind and that everything else is cosmetic and not covered. Nice! He even had the nerve to tell me I will probably look like Marty Feldman. Wow. I think I will see a different Ophthalmologist next year…..I appreciate your reply.
