Carole--TED and splitting carbimazole

[Guest guest]

Hi Carole,

If your daughter's eyes tend to hurt, there's a big chance she does have the eye

component of Graves', which usually calls for a " baseline " check by an eye

doctor experienced with it. Even if your daughter's doctors don't believe she

has TED, can you get a referral to an eye doctor (maybe say you want to rule out

any other eye problems since they're sure it's not TED)?

Splitting the carbimazole into two doses should help your daughter feel better

by making the effects more even. As far as your question about a missed dose, my

guess is you'd be better off giving her the missed pill when you remember rather

than skipping it.

Best wishes,

B.
