    yes,I guess like any other big city, when the night life awakes you better watch your back. This is her very first time on her own, she’s alway’s been a stay at home kind of girl. I guess I’ll see how it is in a few weeks.Your son plans to go to this school too, that’s cool. Does it have a good reputation besides what you read online ?
    Thanks

    Thank you so much . I feel like you answer my questions better then my docs. yeah I guess I’m still in the hot phase and orbital decom. is still a long way out.
    If you dont mind me asking but I saw that you are from San Fransisco, my oldest daughter is going to the University of Art there starting the end of Aug. and i’m scared out of my mind to leave her so far from where we at , we’re military and we are in Md right now. How is it down there on a day to day living safety wise for a 19 ar old and overall.
    Thanks ,
    Regina

    Hi, thanks for our quick response. And for the deatailed explaining. i am on prednisone 60mg daiy and the endo wanted me to see a Occulor specialist but I guess my eye dr. didn’t think that my vision was bad enough at this time. i also wear glasses pretty much all day , in and always outside the house. i’m just trying to figure out how to hide my eyes in the winter time, that will be a challenge.Will they do orbital decompression for cosmetic reason too? Because my endo said that they will only to that if the eye are at critical risk . In the 3 step surgery, where the last step is the lid realignment I guess, why is that done?Once the eye has been released back wont the eye lids just look normal again? What can I do about this milky layer that I see the burning , tearing and tryness besides the Blink eye drops and the cream for the night I also cover my eyes up at night too. if this last so long how can the eyes deal with this long lasting dryness, because the eye drops can only do so much.Since the doc said that I am slightly Hypo now does that make my eyes worse as well. Sorry, one more last question do I continue my sodium, iodine and trying to be gluten free diet since I am a little hypo insted of Hyper now. i just don’t know and I don’t want to contribute to make things worse. Thank you again, sooo… much for all your answers.

    Hi,
    I’m new to this site. I was diagnosed in May of this year had symptoms since March. Right now I have milky and blurry vision most off the time. my eyes are bulging and are still swollen like a monster. i am on Methimazole and prednisone but according to my last blood work i’m supposed to be slightly Hypo now and now my Methimazole was reduced to 5mg daily. My doc said that radiation just helps with vision not protrution and that this is a big change and to basically suck it up and deal with it. Im refused at 37 years old to spend the rest off my looking like a monster . You had orbital decompression done, right . Can you please show me you before, between and after pics. Can you ever look normal again after this???
    I’m sorry I know I sound so sour but I feel so frustrated. can you give me any tips?
    Thanks regina
