Mom was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Disease (a type of hypothyroidism) about 10-12 years ago. She's been taking Synthroid since....on and off problems, but usually under control by adjusting her dosage.... until recently....

Noticed her right eye seemed to be bugging out. So we got an emergency appt. with an eye doctor today and right away he said it must be Grave's Disease. This is a hyPERthyroid problem totally opposite of what she's been dealing with for over a decade.

This might explain why she suddenly dropped a lot of weight quickly not long ago. We freaked out, had her tested for cancer, nothing found.... and really no other symptoms, except dry eyes and bulging eyes.

She is scared. She only has vision in one eye. And I'm already legally blind, and cannot drive. She is scared she is going to go blind. How will we get around?

Anyone have any advice or experience with this? She had blood work done today and is scheduled for a CAT scan.
