I have pretibial myxedema and thyroid eye disease as a result of my graves
disease - is there anyone else on this list with these conditions?

It seems to me that little can be done for either. My eyes are now stable but
I am told that I need to wait at least another 2 years before decompression
surgery -

Its bad enough having all the other sypmtoms of Thyroid disease without these
two conditions that really make my life miserable.  My face is changing.. I
used to be attractive and now, I just look hideous, plus my leg is just awful
-
My thyroid has been stable for about a year now.
Any one got any ideas for treatment of either of the two?

Many thanks
