Has anyone here dealt with Thyroid Eye Disease (TED)? What symptoms did you experience, and what helped you manage the discomfort or appearance changes?

Thyroid Eye Disease is an autoimmune condition often linked with hyperthyroidism or Graves' disease, causing inflammation, bulging eyes, eye pain, double vision, and dryness. It's not just cosmetic—it can seriously affect vision and daily life.

Treatment can include eye drops, steroids, Tepezza (Teprotumumab) for active TED, or even surgery in more advanced cases. Many people also find relief with cool compresses, selenium supplements, or wearing UV-blocking sunglasses.

whether you're newly diagnosed, living with TED, or supporting someone who is, your experience can help others feel less alone.
