Diagnosis

I have not been diagnosed but I know I have it. I have each and every symptom but one. I have been using ivizia drops and cleansing wipes and they help alot. I cannot find a TED doctor in my area for a a diagnosis and my optomologist is not helpful. I know I cannot take the usual drug treatment, impesszia? Because of other medical treatments. Is there anything else which could be helpful to me. The Ivizia is the only thing that has helped me

  1. , I'm sorry to hear that your ophthalmologist has not been helpful. Is there another one if your area that you could see for a second opinion? Here is an article we have on different doctors who can diagnose and treat TED, maybe this will help you find one that can help you: https://thyroideyedisease.net/healthcare-team. As for some other options that might help you feel better here is an article that goes over some of them, I will stress, though, that you shouldn't try anything new without first speaking to a doctor because what might work for one person might not work for another. https://thyroideyedisease.net/supportive-treatments.
