Bonnie is a real patient who completed a full course of 8 infusions of TEPEZZA. Individual results may vary.

“I'm getting more confident.
I hope to be able to drive myself to my infusion appointments soon!”
“We’re already halfway there. I am definitely seeing an improvement in my symptoms. For the first time today, someone commented on how my eyes appear to be bulging less, and it made me feel proud of the progress I've made so far.”
“The infusion center I go to is great. I’ve definitely noticed less eye bulging. I’m feeling less self-conscious. I’m starting to look like my old self, which is awesome!"

I was diagnosed with Thyroid Eye Disease in August of 2020. I'd actually never even heard of the disease before. It took three doctors to finally diagnose me with it and then find a doctor that actually specialized in it. After trying steroids and not having any results in the reduction of my symptoms, my doctor and I decided that TEPEZZA was the best option for me. At the time, my husband and I really wanted to start a family and we were blessed to be able to get pregnant.
That meant that we had to put treatment on hold for a year. During my pregnancy, my eyes seemed to get better in the first and second trimesters, which was really promising. Then they gradually started getting worse in the third trimester. Then after I gave birth, my double vision has been constant. It's been really miserable. It makes daily tasks really difficult like driving, reading, or even playing with my baby.
Needless to say, after a year and a half of having this disease, I am so ready to start taking TEPEZZA. I've seen great results from the studies. I'm hopeful that it will reduce my bulging eyes. I can start looking like my normal self as well as correcting my double vision so I can get back to living my old life. I actually start my first infusion tomorrow and so I'm feeling super excited to get started on TEPEZZA and to share my journey with you all.
TEPEZZA is a prescription medicine used to treat Thyroid Eye Disease (TED), no matter if you’ve had TED for months or years.
