   <p>Hi <inline-mention username="Phylly" user-id="4742444"/>, i&#39;m sorry to hear your treatments aren&#39;t working as well as you had hoped! I know how frustrating that must be. I&#39;m confident if other members of our community have had a similar experience, they will share it with you. In the meantime, have you had the chance to follow up with your doctor about the treatment not being effective yet and the other symptoms you are experiencing? Maybe they can offer some insight? All the best, Sam S. (<a href='http://ThyroidEyeDisease.net' target='_blank'>ThyroidEyeDisease.net</a>, team member).</p>

   <p>Hi <inline-mention username="Phylly" user-id="4742444"/>, I know how frustrating it is to be going for the infusions every three weeks and not see any noticeable results. I was so anxious to get approved for the Tepezza treatment and then to get beyond my TED symptoms. It did go rather slowly for me. I know that through all of the studies with Tepezza it was proven that most patients need to go through all eight infusions to see the best results. I felt less pressure after the first four infusions. By the sixth infusion I could see my eyes looking less puffy. Most was gone by the eighth infusion however I still had retracted eyelids land excess skin above my eyes from the prolonged swelling. The positive for me was that once I was done with the Tepezza treatment the inflammation was under control and I could have surgery to correct the muscle damage (retracted eyelids). I hope you start noticing more results soon. All the best to you. Roxann K. Team Member</p>
