How Does Marijuana Affect TED
Marijuana use and its effects on TED are not well-documented, but there are some considerations to be aware of. Marijuana has anti-inflammatory properties, which may theoretically provide some relief for inflammation-related symptoms in TED. However, there are also risks involved that I found online:
- Potential Eye Pressure Increase: Marijuana can impact eye pressure, which may not be beneficial for those with TED.
- Dryness and Irritation: Smoking marijuana may worsen eye dryness and irritation, common symptoms of TED.
- Impact on Immune Function: Since TED is an autoimmune condition, any substance that affects immune response could theoretically have an impact, though research is limited.
It’s important to consult your healthcare provider if you're considering marijuana as part of your symptom management. Are there specific symptoms you're hoping to address?
