2nd Covid Jab and now TEDS

Just wanted to say thank you all for all your support last night - with the aid of chamomile tea and managing to sleep 5 hours last night felt so much better this morning and so took the plunge and had my jab at 5.00 pm today. I did tell the nurse that I had been going overactive and she then said that would explain my red eyes - never knew I had TEDS!

Great news Delgor; always remember that you are stronger than you think😊.

I’m a real advocate of herbal teas, juicing & aromatherapy to help calm my nerves. I also benefit from taking magnesium supplements early evening & try to practise mindfulness & write positive affirmations. On ‘bad’ TED days I also wear sunglasses to hide my eyes and wear bright lipstick to cheer me up .......It all helps reduce my anxiety levels!

Sorry for delay in replying - just had to watch Line of Duty! Quite agree that we all have an inner strength that perhaps we didn't know about but having said that, I think this is an amazing site and the kind support given by everyone is truly wonderful when we are most in need! Take care.
