Thanks for posting this Buddy195
Thanks for posting the link Buddy195 I completely forgot I was wanting to watch that.
The thing that struck me most was that treatment for TED has to happen quickly and you need to be seen at a specialised clinic. I was fortunate that on Colin Dayan’s scale it only affected my reading, my TV watching and my hobbies and it sorted itself out but I worry about the state of the NHS and the chances of people a) being seen quickly and b) being seen by an expert in the field of TED
I think it would indicate that the eyes should be properly monitored right from the initial diagnosis, in my case, of Graves Disease.
If my understanding is correct - in the summing up No 4 - the TSH - R blockade seems to make a lot of sense as this appears to target the ( b---ers ) for the thyroid as well as the eyes - so rather like a BOGOF :
Let us hope all these treatment options are affordable and available on the NHS for the next generation.
Thanks Buddy :
