I was recently diagnosed with Thyroid Eye Disease (TED) and started treatment with Tepezza. It's given by intravenous (IV) infusion and works by blocking a specific protein involved in the inflammation and changes in the eye that happen with TED. So far, I've noticed some reduction in bulging eyes and double vision, but I'm concerned about the potential side effects. Has anyone else tried Tepezza and had a similar experience? What side effects did you encounter, and how did you manage them? I need to understand what I might be facing. For those who have undergone Tepezza treatment: Did your doctors monitor your blood sugar levels frequently? I'm also very anxious about the ones that could be life-threatening, especially the hearing loss.
