What is a TED flare?
A TED flare is when TED symptoms appear again after a period of stability. In a study of 415 patients, 15.7% of patients experienced recurrent TED. Most of these cases occurred within the first 1O years after the first episode of TED.
TED, Thyroid Eye Disease.
Talking to a Thyroid Eye Disease Specialist
Bring these results with you to help start a TED-focused conversation with your care provider. Your primary care physician or endocrinologist may refer you to a TED Specialist. Use the list of TED symptoms to educate yourself and take action.
Be honest with your TED Specialist about how your symptoms affect your daily life.
Make sure that you speak openly with your TED Specialist and are not reluctant to share how your symptoms make you feel. Speak up for the care you deserve.
If your doctor tells you that you have TED, ask about any treatment options available to help manage your symptoms.
Make sure you understand your options, even if you feel like you are repeating yourself. Your doctor would rather you ask questions than allow you to leave your appointment confused.
