What is the best medicine for thyroid eye disease?
It is always best to discuss this with your doctor.
However, there are certain things you can do to help yourself.
If you are feeling tired, try to get more sleep. If you have swollen eyelids, try to open your eyes as little as possible. Wear sunglasses or cover your face with a scarf. Do not touch the inside of your eyes. Make sure that you have plenty of fresh air. Eat high-protein foods and drink plenty of water. Do not take any medications unless your doctor has told you it is safe to do so. Try not to stress or worry too much. Keep on a regular schedule. Eat well, get enough sleep, and exercise. Get plenty of rest. Keep your immune system strong by having a flu shot every year. What are the symptoms of thyroid eye disease? The symptoms of thyroid eye disease (TED) vary from person to person. It usually occurs when the thyroid gland in your neck produces too much of the hormone thyroxin (T4). The most common symptoms include:
Floaters. Swelling of the eyelids. Redness of the eyes. Soreness around the eyes. Double vision. Swollen cheeks. Swollen hands and feet. Difficult breathing. A feeling of fullness in the throat. Change in color of the skin. Difficulty swallowing. Difficulty speaking. Pain in the jaw and neck. Loss of appetite. A feeling of being cold all the time. Difficulty sleeping. Weight loss. Excessive sweating. Changes in the menstrual cycle. How is thyroid eye disease diagnosed? A doctor will do an eye exam and a blood test to determine if you have thyroid eye disease. If your eyes are affected, your doctor will take pictures of your eyes using an eye camera called a slit lamp. This helps to determine whether there is swelling in the eye or any other problems with your eyes.
A doctor may also do a blood test to see if you have an underactive thyroid. This may be checked by asking you questions about your health, your diet, and how much you exercise.
How can I reduce my thyroid eye disease?
By Dr.
Sivapuri Rajkumar For a number of years I have had a problem with my eyesight, specifically my right eye, and even now it is not much better. The swelling has gone down somewhat but still persists to an extent. My eye doctor has advised me to go for an operation to remove the muscles of my eyeball and have the tendon taken out and then give up any possibility of having kids. They have also suggested that I take L-thyroxine, the active thyroid hormone, as one drops and also has side effects such as weight gain. They have given me 5 micrograms. Of thyroid hormone. Can you tell me of any other medicine which can give relief in this case. Thank you very much for your answer.
I have tried thyroid hormone, but it is a temporary solution, your problem may have other reasons as well. Your surgeon suggests an operation, but I would recommend a more scientific treatment. Go to www.nofakescience.com or visit a doctor who takes time to work out how to help you.
Why am I so tired all the time? And why is there a ringing in my ears? I have been told by many doctors that I am always tired and have a bad memory. I know that some people are just naturally that way, but why am I not able to work with any sense of achievement? Why does my brain have some kind of short circuit and make connections very easily? Why do I have this ringing in my ears? All of these things together are making my life miserable! My brain feels like it has too much in it and all of a sudden there is just too much, just too much and my head feels tight. I can't concentrate, I can't think straight and I have this ringing in my ears. Sometimes I feel just dizzy and sick. I don't want to be that way, I don't want to have to live like this. Please, please can anyone help me find a way out?
