Hi Marla,
Your symptoms also sound similar to thyroid eye disease, which is related to
Graves' disease but sometimes can accompany normal thyroid levels. Another
term for this is Graves' opthalmopathy. An experienced eye doctor should be
able to tell. Also, a test for thytrophin binding inhibitory immunoglobulin
(TBII) antibodies would tell. This is definitely an autoimmune problem, and
LDN seems to help.
If it is thyroid eye disease, things that will make it worse include
cigarette smoke, dietary iodine (which is very high in the US), aspartame
artificial sweetener, and stress. I also found that the DLPA that we take to
make the LDN more effective worsened my thyroid eye disease symptoms,
perhaps because it's similar in composition to aspartame.
Best wishes,
Nicole B.

I am taking LDN because I have an unknown autoimmune disorder that has
not been yet diagnosed. One of my symptoms is constant cheekbone and
eye discomfort. I have done some research and have turned up an
ailment called Temporal Arteritis. Does anyone know anything about
this ailment? This does not seem to be helped by LDN but it is
supposedly an autoimmune disorder. If anyone knows anything about
this, please let me know.
