Thyroid disorder

Hi Jennifer,


I have been diagnosed with Thyroid since last August. Recently I realised that one of my eye is bulging out. My GP recommend me to see a specialist due to the bulging eye. Do you feel that you have bulging eyes too? I know not all will have bulging eyes but am really scare.

Been thinking what if the eye do not return back to normal. Haiz.....

Hi,

Two of my sisters and a cousin had bulging eyes before they realised they had hyperthyroidism. Of the three, my cousin's eyes were the most bulging as she sought treatment only when her condition was severe. It took her a few years before her eyes became normal again. One of my sisters mentioned that she didn't realise she had bulging eyes until she was looking at her old pictures and saw that her eyes did show more white on top and below, but hers was back to normal within a year as she sought treatment early. I have Graves' disease too but I don't have bulging eyes so it probably depends on how early you seek treatment?

Whether you have bulging eyes should not be a major concern as long as you seek treatment. When the condition is under control, your eyes will be back to normal.

Went for the review this morning. All indexes are normal now. Did not test for Trab this round. Next review is 3 months later, to do the Trab test then.

Workload a bit heavy now, condition seems ok, though the Trab count is yet to be normal.

Told hubby I might need to quit work if the Trab count unable to control well.

Hi Jennifer,

Didn't want to sidetrack too much in the vacuum cleaner thread

Yes, TRAB takes quite a while to normalise. Doc said it moves very slowly. She encouraged me to sleep 7 or 8 hours on a frequent basis (but I still didn't). Mine only normalised after 2 or 3 good test results of other items. Don't fret. It will fall into place when the rest have resumed normality. It may be quite discouraging to see the numbers persistently in the red, but it will improve and eventually, it will also become black. Take heart.
