Has anyone been diagnosed with thyroid eye disease in addition to GCA? I had RAI for Graves in 1993- Dx with suspected GCA after dx of PMR 2019.No biopsy.

I had exopthalmic goitre in 1986 and radio iodine treatment for Graves some years later.I have GCA and my Opthalmologist said the last time ( recent) I saw him that he could see some return of the protruding eyes - I was advised to have my thyroid levels tested. The tests returned as normal. Another medical thing left dangling.

My GCA/LVV is not cranial and was diagnosed by Ultrasound.

Thank you for your reply. I am awaiting thyroid antibody test results. I was told it would be 7-10 days. I will share my labs when I receive them.
