Thanks, Christina! That is quite the story. I’m sorry that it took so long to get a good diagnosis and treatment. Makes me feel lucky to have gotten such a quick diagnosis (lucky to get graves????).
Hi there. I feel your frustration with the TED I have had a similar experience. I too have one eye that is bulging and the lid is above the iris. I went to see an occuloimmunologist who said I have 7 of 10 signs of active TED. He then told me to call him if i wake up one day with double vision. My eyes itch and feel pressurized all the time. They are red alot. I hate to look in a mirror because the changes in my eyes distresses me terribly. I would swear my left eye has gotten smaller while the right is considerably larger. This morning when I showered I could feel the Lorette lid fold outward when eyes were closed tightly. This never happened before. I have been taking ATD for 3 days. I am wondering if botox could help stop the lids retraction? I also wonder if insurance will pay for surgery to correct my appearance?
