Did you get the RAI done while having eye problems? Oh I hope they told you about the risks of increased eye problems? It is better not to have any eye problems if one gets an RAI.

Do you know where you are at now with the TSI and TRAb? Please find out and keep track.

Are you able to take flaxseed oil or perhaps Primrose oil or even Black Currant oil to help with the eyes?

I think you have to just try some. I tried some samples from the eye doctor. I ltried Blink, and found that it didn't matter if it was drops or liquigel. I liked them both, but the gel drops didn't last any longer on my eye. I tried samples of Refresh products, and I liked those, too. I had a sample of Systane Ultra, that my friend said were the best and her eye doctor recommended them; I thought it was like putting plain water in my eye. Some people are bothered by preservatives, but there are preservative free drops to try. (I tried both, with and without preservatives, didn't seem to matter for me.) I think you need to pick one and see how it feels. Then maybe try another one and compare. Or, did your eye doctor make a recommendation?
Also, keep yourself hydrated. And my eye doctor also recommended a humidifier. Seems to help.

Best of luck!

I don't have an eye doctor. I haven't had my eyes checked in eyes actually. I had my RAI done yesterday but my endocrinologist said to try selenium and eye drops but didn't specifiy. My eyes have been itchy, gritty, wattery, awful. I have been using Clear Eyes 7 symptom relief which helps sort o.f I am afraid of eyes and eye docs. Hopefully with the RAI yesterday things will be fixed soon..

I have had TED for almost 3 years. I have found that the Refresh PM works the best for me. I have used various eye drops and none of them seemed to make a difference. I still eat 2 raw Brazil nuts and take both omega 3s and omega 6s daily (4 Nordic Natural Fish Oil with CoQ10 and 2 Black Currant Seed Oil) .

If I somehow get off this routine, I feel it within a day.

Since you just had RAI, I am not necessarily sure what to advise. But evertyhing I have mentioned above certainly won't hurt!!

You will have to try various things to see what works best for you. I can totally understand your pain and frustration since my TED was much more difficult for me to manage than my Graves.

See what works for you!
