OMG i had 2 teeth break the year before being diagnosed as well, this is a new one! my dentist will be pleased to know this, he was baffled. Although thoroughly enjoying the money is raking in.

I have TED with some double vision (at the moment it is slight), i do however have eyesight that has gotten worse since the diagnosis?? who knows right?? I seem to be finding out all these things associated and noone put the pieces together until it showed up on blood work.

since no blood test for meniere's i am wondering if the labryinthitis i had and ringing and dizziness in ear is associated to graves? would love to get off that med if that was the case?

What kind of eye problems do you have?  Thyroid eye disease symptoms first start as a lot of tearing and a dry, gritting feeing in the eyes.  Later symptoms include the bulging eyeballs that most have heard about, and sometimes, double vision.  It isn't normally associated with poor vision unless caused by double vision or pressure on the optic nerve(which is very rare).

I had a problem with teeth breaking as if they were made of chalk in the year before I was diagnosed with Graves, but I didn't make the association with my thyroid until someone on the forum mentioned it a year or more ago.  Talk about hindsight being 20/20.

I'm not sure. I have hypo.

My night vision was getting progressively worse, but finally started getting a bit better after taking supplements for  nutritional deficiencies.

I hope someone can help!
