I too was dignosied with TED in Nov 09. I hate the way I look on top of that I had to start wearing my glasses, my contacts were not fitting my eyes correctly. It seemed the glasses made my head hurt more with the swelling and eye pressure. I was given three options wait and see, steroids or radiation. I’m fat enough didn’t need the steroids so I chose radiation. Friday Feb 12th was my last day, I had ten days straight of low dose radiation, WOW what a hugh difference it has made. I still have some vision problems and lots of tearing but no swelling, I almost look normal. I was told that it takes a month or longer for this to work, can’t wait for the final results.
