I did do a podcast episode with Dr. Osansky that described my functional and conventional decisions and outcomes with TED. After three years of double vision, I had strabismus surgery in February, and it corrected my vision. I feel at peace because I know I attempted non-invasive options. I am so happy to stop wearing my prism glasses and return to my previous vision. The surgery was simple and recovery was easy for me. I know my natural health approach over decades has helped me have minimal side effects with all the conventional drugs I have taken, from Methimazole to Tepezza to surgery (general anesthesia and antibiotic eye drops).
I've had great success with Euphrasia eye drops and taking the homeopathic remedy Euphrasia 30C under my tongue. Everyone once in awhile I get a flare and then I use the drops again and take the ready and pain is gone and vision improves. Just my experience!
I have not added any TED specific supplements yet as I start my healing journey. I'm not sure if this is a mistake but my thought is that since my eye swelling, dryness and double vision accelerate if I consume a trigger, it is "helping" me in the early phases. I don't want to cover up this indicator just yet.
I will likely add TED supplements before the end of this year (2 years from diagnosis) when I expect to have removed food triggers/reintroduced food. I already take D3/K2 supplement.
I have TED with sxs if blurry/double vision and dry eyes. I am taking Methimazole, Systane eye drops, Seleium & Vit D. My Dr, just today rxd steroid drops as my sxs are worsening.

You've been on quite a journey! Is there a link you can share for that podcast?
Tricia, here is the link to the "Save My Thyroid Health Audit" I did with Linda:
