I have recently started experiencing problems with my eyes (bulging, discomfort, and social isolation) and am going to have to have decompression surgery. I was wondering if anyone knew of a good MD in NC that performs this orbital decompression surgery...I am really nervous and want everything to go good so that I can get back to being normal as soon as possible. THANKS!

I had Grves disease.  It is related to the thyroid.  My eyes bulged.  I had rapid heartbeat.
This was 30 years ago.  Treated with medication and I have been fine.
Check this out.

P.S.   I see from your profile maybe you have Graves Disease??  Feel free to cross-post in thyroid but, perhaps, put in your post you have Graves or other connection to thyroid disease  - this way you more readily get answers on both the eye and thyroid communities.  Without seeing your profile, didn't realize you may be a thyroid patient.

Hi .. I think you post should be in our Eyes Community. I'll let MedHelp be aware and they'll move it.
