Impact on Social Life
How has TED impacted your social life? What considerations do you have to make for your TED before attending a social event or making travel plans, or participating on social media?
My balance and depth perception have been seriously affected
thanks for joining the conversation. I’m sorry to hear that your balance and depth perception have been affected. That must be so difficult. Is there anything you’ve found that has helped? Wishing you a peaceful day, Jessica H (thyroideyedisease.net, team member)
NO but it appears the docs are now proposing surgical intervention.
if you feel comfortable sharing, would you mind if I ask which surgeries your doctor is considering? I’ve had four surgeries to treat TED and have written about my experiences. Would be happy to share if you’d like.
Wishing you a peaceful day,
