As I understand it, thyroid ablation can increase the chance of thyroid eye disease. Since ablation doesn't eliminate the root cause of the disease, the antibodies that once attacked your thyroid can move onto the eyes, their other primary target. I'd rather try to bring the disease into remission through drug therapy, but if I'm just going to yo-yo, then I may have to rethink it.

My latest labs show a TSH of 2.3. I've been off meds for 7 weeks. It's higher than I'd like, but I feel relatively good. I have a few hyper symptoms, which is weird, but assuming I have both dieases, not unheard of.
