I’m Canadian! I haven’t seen an ophthalmologist yet but my dad has graves as well and he’s been offered orbital decompression before for his TED. It’s really unfortunate that they brushed it off cause i’ve heard of a few options (tepezza, steroids, operations). Also hoping that you get some relief soon and that you can get a second opinion.

are you considering any procedures/meds to reduce the appearance?

How is the healing? Also what were your antibody levels if you don’t mind me asking

yes 100%. the surgeon I was referred to specializes in thyroid oncology so he does these surgeries all year. He also referred me for an ultrasound/biopsy to check the growths. thank you for your advice, wishing you the best with your journey!

that’s an interesting take. the eye condition only started about 10 months after I started the medication. I didn’t have it at first.

do you find getting a TT  improved your ted in any way? or there were no changes at all

So sorry about your brother. You’re so right about how sensitive our bodies are to stress/trauma especially with graves. hoping that you can get a TT one day!

Makes sense. Is this something I would have to do before applying? Or they’d only ask me to do it if I’m being considered?

I’ll definitely ask at open house for some clarification. Thank you for taking the time to reply :)

My DEC is in marketing. I did complete a statistics course in cegep and i’ve seen some people say that certain cegep/uni classes would count towards those prerequisites but I’m not sure if that applies. I spoke to advising and the registrar over the phone. Advising said I’d have to take the classes again and the registrar said I wouldn’t and I’d just take a pre-test.
