Same thing happened to me… was totally healthy before I got the vax, after getting the vax I got diagnosed with Graves Disease / Hyperthyroid… They need to be held accountable
That’s awesome. So glad to hear that you’re doing well. Thank you for posting about your journey with TED it has been a huge resource for me and I am sure others as well !!! Congratulations so happy for you ❤
Was it done by Dr Thomas Lenart in Redmond? Your results are nothing short of amazing!!! Congratulations! !!!🎉🎉 Enough to make me 2nd guess my decision not to get strabismus surgery (my case is no double vision and eyes are lined up. But no upgaze). Thank you for posting Rick it's been a helluva journey and you look great!
Thanks for the update, Rick. I have an identical situation. The only difference is that I didn't go with the Tepezza treatment after I learned about your experience. My diplopia is rotational which means that I have a double vision under 45 degrees upward. Do you have the same, or is yours either horizontal or vertical? Anyway, I thank you very much for all these videos. They are an excellent reference for anyone suffering or treating the disease.
I ended up ok for now. Not perfect, but I’ll take it. I need to put out a post strabismus surgery update. My advice to you based on my learnings is to find a strabismus surgeon sooner rather than later so you can get their opinion sooner rather than later. I kept thinking the doctor I was talking to was a strabismus surgeon, but they weren’t and that delayed things while they tried other stuff.
My Insurance would not Cover a 2nd round of tepezza for my Thyroid eye Disease. My double Vision returned even worse than before ! So now I am going to have surgery !
Some twenty something’s sitting at the round table putting it on paper that have been taught all through school. “ I luckily have three wonderful young adults” told me all about their education from from the public system.. that they are taught their parents no nothing in comparison to them with the tech. Today??? it’s called common sense. It’s lacking today in the manufacturing world for sure. trying to improve upon things that were perfect to begin with is the problem, my friend
I was told by my doctor that I had to get jabbed because of heart failure. Right after my second jab I developed Graves disease. Thank you for this. Like you, I just thought it was coincidental. In canada, the medical community is so concerned with covering their ass, they aren't doing anything about it.
Hi Sir, My name is Teresa. I am 58 and was diagnosed with GD at 57. I did not take the vaccine. I was diagnosed with GD in 2022 November. My symptoms started in July 2022. I have been diagnosed with TED in March 2023. My eye started getting bigger in June 2023. You are spot on. Think about it, they developed Tepezza over the past 2 or 3 years. How did they know it would be in such high demand? You are a smart man. I was in the service. I knew the entire C 1 9 was propaganda immediately. All of the major corporations having pre-made commercials stating, "We are in this together." They did the same thing we do to the countries we invade for regime change wars. Psychological Operations. Never! Trust them again. I am so sorry you are going through this agony. My journey with this has been over the past 9 months. One eye bigger than the other, one that doesn't move with the other. Such a pain in the eye! God Bless you for having a sound mind and the ability to see the truth. I believe my GD was induced by all of the vaccines we took in service. No more!
Having been roofing over forty years . My advice is save your money because no gutter guards work . All the debris that would go into the gutters gets stuck on top of the guards. So your still going to have to clean them . There just selling pointless products that dont work .
I had to have a second surgery to fine tune, mainly because I felt I had to keep my head tilted up a little too far to have a singular picture. It did the magic I was hoping for. Great to see you improving.
No adjustable sutures. I did think I wanted a doctor that did adjustable sutures, but my doctor was very experienced in the operation and I figured he knew best what worked for him. I was definitely out for the entire procedure. Vision is better today and almost to the point of what I was hoping for.
That’s awesome!! I felt the same way after my surgery. Pretty sure I said something very similar. It took about 10 days to really see an improvement. Just continued to get better each day . Three weeks was the sweet spot.
Thank you, Rick. I've been having my eyes misaligned for almost a year. Haven't been treated with Tepezza because I don't think it could help and my doctor was not in support of it. I'm thinking about the surgery this summer but have no idea where to do it. I wish you get your eye fully recovered and the double vision completely gone.
My only significant problem was and is double vision. My eyes weren't bulging out to bad. My left eye not at all and my right eye only a little bit. My uneducated understanding is that decompression surgery is more for the bulging issue, but I am really guessing a bit there. All my doctors that had TED experience (3 of them) only recommended Strabismus surgery. The good news for me is that the strabismus surgery is the least invasive surgery.
I wish you the best of luck..... I have TED (became a problem 9 days post Covid Vaccine). I got "lucky" and both my eye got stuck aligned with each other.... and then post orbital radiation the eye movement improved. I too had problems looking at people in the face which is awkward when meeting a new person. I hope you see a major improvement after your surgery.... And thank you for sharing your story.... it helps others to know they are not alone.
I have been following your TED journey as it is similar to mine . I am pleased to say I had strabismus surgery December fifth and it has been a Blessing . Double vision is all but gone. Slightly in the morning . Prayers to you for surgery!!
It took about three weeks to be able to see in all directions !! I stumbled around for about a week not being able to look down at the floor without double vision. After three weeks I could drive . Best wishes to you!!
Thanks for the update. I do hope you post again after surgery. And I hope it goes great...I saw a strabismus surgeon but for the time being I'm not going ahead because I do not have double vision. He actually said surgery could cause double vision in my case. My problem is that both my inferior rectus muscles are "scarred down" so I have no up gaze. However they are symmetrical. It's really bizarre. I can't roll my eyes. And it's really uncomfortable going into big shopping centres because I can't look up and scan my surroundings. But of course that's not important in the greater scheme of things.
Sounds like what I got on my right eye. No up gaze. And it is really strange. I feel like my left eye is fine but I don’t know and the doctor said we’d worry about the left eye later. What about prisms? Have they talked to you about them?
Hey Rick! I had my first surgery over the last summer and another one in late November to “fine tune”. If I were to assign a percentage of improvement I’d say it’s easily 75% better. No double vision in most of my usable sight picture. Peripherals still suffer, but I can deal with that! Recuperation was way easier than I thought it’d be too. They operated on 6 muscles total in both eyes the first time and 2 muscles in one eye the second. I’m super thankful I got the surgery and a fantastic Dr. Best of luck to you sir!
I am so happy to hear that you are getting the Strabismus surgery. I had mine done in October. The healing was fast but it took about 2 months to really see the full results. The Double Vision was fone immediately but it still took time to the muscles moving again. Wishing you all the.
Hey Rick! Been wondering how you’re doing on Tep round 2. Keep your head up and know that the surgery will absolutely change your life for the better. I’ve had one already, and it was within 2-3 months after my last infusion. It did wonders and restored about 60% of my vision to a singular picture. Dr. said that he can do better with a “fine tune” and so I’m happy to go under again the week after Thanksgiving. It’s not perfect and it never will be, but with the right surgeon I’m here to tell you it will get much better. My procedure was the adjustable suture strabismus surgery and it was in both eyes, even though I thought only one was jacked up.
Thanks for the feedback. Interesting!!! 60% would be awesome. That’s where I was at before the flare up last Christmas. I was perfectly happy with that.
I’m Canadian and Tepezza is not yet approved here. I have Graves and TED. I went through a course of high dose IV steroids for TED.,, but it didn’t help at all. I am told there is nothing else that can be done except to wait for a year or so to get past the active phase of the thyroid eye disease and then they will do surgery to try and remove scar tissue and correct any eye bulging. (Potentially). Meanwhile, my double vision first appeared in June of 2023. It is now Oct 30th and my vision has deteriorated to where I wear a 13 prism diopter film on my right eye to make me functional. Without my glasses I cannot function at all. It has only been 4 days since I got the 13 diopter film and already I can tell I my sight has deteriorated since I received this prescription. Since August, I’ve been going in every 1-2 weeks to have my prison lens prescription increased so I cannot imagine what vision I will have left in a year if it continues to deteriorate at the rate it is now. To say this condition is taxing is a gross understatement. For all those out there also suffering with TED… my heart is with you.
Seems tepezza is temporary solution, I wish ur second round of tepezza will help you. :( or try not to get anything ans let the body adjust and heal its own.
Have your thyroid gland scanned, in my case they found something. Removed whole thyroid and radioactive treatment and helped my TED. My TED started last January 2022.
Yes. The DV improvement was just enough to allow we not to have DV when looking directly forward which was a big deal. The improvement came after about 7-8 infusions and lasted 6 months prior to another active period which made my DV way worse.
I don’t think my DV is quite as bad as your but bad all the same I am hoping tepezza will work i am documenting my progress on youtube hope you get some relief soon
@@rickburns4572 So you relapsed? I am concerned because I have to do SOMETHING about my eyes, but am scared because people report it just relapsing after treatment.
Rick, good luck with Tepezza round 2. Just wanted to give you a quick update in case you find yourself where I did. I had adjustable suture done 2 weeks ago (ended up needing it on BOTH eyes despite what I thought) and here to tell you I wish I would’ve done that months sooner. It was nothing near as bad a surgery or recovery I expected, and according to my Dr my right eye was among the worst he’s seen in his decades of experience. I hope if you end up needing surgery that it goes as well for you. I was in and out in -5 hours. Double vision is at least 50% corrected, and I expect it to get better as I exercise my now moving eye.
Rick, I've watched all your videos. I'm in the same boat. Thank you for sharing. Please continue informing us. Your videos are the best on this nasty disease.
I got Graves and TED after I had a monoclonal body infusion for COVID treatment. I never had any health issues before that. I think you are absolutely correct in connecting these things. I've been having the same suspicion all along.
