Personal Perspectives on Living with TED
Learning to navigate TED can be a deeply personal journey, with each person's experience shaped by unique challenges, decisions, and turning points.
For Riela “Lala” Popp, ballroom dancing was a source of confidence and self-expression until TED symptoms forced her to step away from the dance floor. An unexpected conversation at work prompted her to take a closer look at her eye health, setting her on a path toward treatment and helping her find her way back to the activity she loves.
