If there are grammatical mstakes or missing words, well…I did my best.īut the return on investment has been disappointing in some areas. If you read this thanks and if not totally understand. Sounds like what a life but when your vision is so blurry you can’t even see the words as you type like I am here…it’s bit unnerving and scary. I am sidelined from work and as I be patient I go to the ocean a lot to swim and try to relax. Everyone says be patient…even though there isn’t a cure for either TED or PED, be patient. What will we ever do if I actually get healthy? She’s a saint, has to be since 2015 I been really in and out of commission up until present. I will look like Pam beat me up being only 15 days pot op from eyed surgery #2. Silence broken…TMI, probably, getting re married though Sept 28th. I just don’t know nor do the specialists. Will I continue to see something? Will I be able to work? Will I be disabled? Dreading that possible reality. I have no idea what the future has in-store for me. I have no idea why my body has given out and my eyes. I dream bout riding again aimlessly and being back to me. Now, I spend almost everyday off at the specialist office only to hear surgery is a defensive measure, there is no cure for TED and my endocrinologist saying I an in survival mode, just doesn’t cut it when it comes to riding a bike. So, you see…when for years I took vacations, took adventures on my bikes, explored new places…that was living. Severe weakness and get out of breath easily. Due to high dose use of steroids I also have steroids induced myopathy. Bottom line I can not see well enough to work or drive consistently. Down goes the steroids in come inflammation in my right eye. but the use steroids made my detachment move. I high dose steroids for Thyroid Eye Disease TED), not bulging eye one. Also found out recently that my pigment epithelial detachment (PED), diagnosed in 2007, just bad luck to have it, has moved up towards my retina. After numerous battles since 2014, divorce, motorcycle accident with fractured right tibia in 2015, hit with Graves Disease Sept 2016, “treated” the graves with radioactive iodine in December 2016, hit with 1 in a million thyroid eye disease (TED)in February 2017 and now? The thyroid eye disease has gotten so bad I have had at thyroidectomy, June 2018, Left eye orbital decompression surgery July 2018 and then right eye orbital decompression surgery Sept 13 2018. Sold my bikes because it’s too depressing to be that aware I CAN NOT ride.
#4 PICS 1 WORD 5 LETTERS THYROID UPDATE#
You see I feel if I have nothing pertaining to riding why write? This post is an update as to why I am NOT riding. Hence, why I haven’t posted anything in months.


Why? Well, like me, she didn’t have much to post about bike, trips but she did about life. A friend of mine who writes her own blog about her bikes, trips and life experiences just posted after a long hiatus.
