I already have tinnitus and hearing loss. I will be undergoing infusion with Tepezza soon. The thought of losing any more of my hearing really freaks me out. I’m praying that this medication does not affect my hearing. Of course the thought of losing my eyesight doesn’t thrill me either.
I’ve been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and graves eye disease for 3 years. Within those 3 years I’ve had 2 pregnancies. Having these conditions while pregnant was the worse. My eyes bulge out so bad and the beta blockers stop working during just about the whole pregnancy. The symptoms can’t be controlled at all while I was pregnant so my face completely changed and I was miserable and sleepy the whole pregnancies. Not to mention extremely insecure and depressed cause my eyes hurt all the time and were swollen. I just gave birth and now I’m starting to get blurry vision. I was told meds won’t help me anymore and I need surgery to remove my thyroid. I know for sure my thyroid isn’t the problem. I just hope to find a doctor that can find out my source of problem. My thyroid is under attack because there is an underlying cause somewhere. I have heard of ppl healing these diseases while doing a complete life change of eating only fruits and vegetables. I want to try this but I don’t have strong will power, I am a mother of 7 children. I live a stressful life and food is my only comfort, I don’t get out much so that’s really all I have to feel happy sometimes 😂 but the food is the problem!! 😂 I need Jesus yall!
How To Cure is stated in your title BUT THE FIRST THING YOU SAY IS IT"S NOT CURABLE. Are you a MD or a COMPLETE MORON?!? Let's go with the latter...MIsleading DOOSH.
I had Hyperthyroidism and it took me 2 years to really see a major improvement. I would do light massages around my eyes, drank ashwaghanda tea, turmeric tea, a probiotic every morning, exercised 4 times a week (jog and dance workout with light weights) ate more green veg, drank bottled water, prayed and did things that boosted my mood because hyperthyroidism can make you feel very irritable. Don’t give up on yourself, you will get better, you will see the beauty that was always there, you will rise above this with a testimony ❤
I honestly really need to hear something like this. Because of my Hyperthyroidism I got low self-esteem really bad because my face have gotten skinnier. I just don’t feel good about myself anymore. And it’s like no one understands
The same! I changed my lifestyle. I always have been active, usually 2-3 times a week. Now I am active every day. I walk almost every day and if I am not, then I go to the gym or swim. I don't drink anything with caffeine and I try to avoid as much as I can the processed food. I have been not taking any medication for over 2 years now! My results are stabile. Graves disease is in remission and hopefully it stays that way. The only memory of it are my eyes, which never got back where they were before.
I have blepharoplasty,canthoplasty&cantopexy at once on my right eye For the last two weeks,i have diplopia only when i ride my motorcycle But when i'm on the passanger's seat & 1 week before my surgery,my right eye has myopia +1,25 but now i think it'up to +2,25 because i have my reading glasses +2 & i tried it's much clearer. How can surgery worsen my myopia? Thanks
People that Feel them saying that they don't think they are beautiful, you are beautiful as you naturally are. Of course there are people who always have something to say, don't be afraid, stand up for yourself, it all is about the spirit not the body
I’m hypo and got thyroid eye disease, some people get it when they don’t even have thyroid disfunction apparently. Hope you’re able to get properly checked with the right doctors. Good luck 🙏🏼
I am unable to get my eye and facial issues even recognized! Been to the best in the city..I know what happened to me with Hashimotos Disease. I wrote out my issues on another one of your videos and am too tired now. Something is also happening to my brain with hashimotos.
Please advise me..I went to the eye doctor, seen 2 at that practice, "best in the city", when I developed runny, profusely watering, irritated , gritty, dry eyes, with swelling all around them double and then blurred vision in 1 eye, etc..with 30 lbs of weight gain and my new diagnosis of Hasimoto's Disease. I was given many rounds of steroid eye drops to no avail. I was told they didnt know why my eyes looked like this , "but you do have mild astigmatism"..I said that I have never had this previously or these symptoms before..New onset light refractory issues is in a pubmed article as an overlooked symptom of TED. The doctors would not believe me that I was not born with astigmatism, even though I had seen eye doctors since childhood, due to 2 hereditary eye conditions that needed monitoring ! I am left this way with blurred vision, swelling around eyes and drooping heavy lids, buccal fat pads, square face now, light sensitivity [severe] I cant get a diagnosis..what do i do? I hide indoors for 14 yrs do to light , how i look and a dizzy woozy head feeling and blurred vision, I dont look in the mirror. Thank you

Daily feeling of the pain is like being punched in a boxing match. Tu is was before my surgeon operated on me for orbital decompression. The pain from surgery goes away and almost isn’t felt at all because you can finally function better without the pressure
My thyroid levels suggest I have hyperthyroidism or most likely Graves’ disease. However I do not really have any symptoms. Maybe faster heart rate but this also could be due to wigovy. Can thyroid issues be asymptomatic?
My first time diagnosed I had no noticible symptoms of Graves’ disease- actually I was feeling pretty good! Looking back, I probably felt better than normal as I know believe I definitely was running hypo for many months prior. It was discovered when I went to the ER for weird head feeling (like the cold sensation you get if eating ice-cream) and my daughter with Graves asked the doctor to check my thyroid levels which then revealed the Graves. What a shock that was. After going in remission for eight years I recently am diagnosed again with active Graves, after a recent period of prolonged and considerable stress. This time there definitely were symptoms: fast heart, high blood pressure, heightened anxiety and a general feeling of being very sped up. Horrible.
Welp, just my luck. Was diagnosed with MS the end of 2017, Did the Lemtrada treatment 2020&2021 and was just diagnosed with Graves’ the end of 2023. Cool.
