Surgery for Eyes from Grave's disease
From: gravesgrandma - 39 weeks 3 days ago
my grand daughter needs surgery for her eyes really sticking out. The doctors misdiagnosed her symptoms for over 1 year, even going so far to say she should see a psychiatrist. I am so angry and now she got surgery for her eyes. She couldnt even close them at night.
Does anyone one know if this keeps progressing or not? Can you reverse this

Hi ive been diagnosed with Grave's disease because my doctor noticed my eyes where really sticking out, the doc put me on medication (propranolol and carbimazole) for the symptoms (tremor of the hands, palputations in the heart, hot sweats and the sticking out eyes) and my eyes almost look normal now,
i hope this helps, hope your daughter is ok
