Eyes
Posted , 7 users are following.
Can anyone tell me how they cope with bulging eyes, thought I was over this stage now my other eye is playing up, my face swells off an on all day I don't even recognise myself in mirror, some days I feel like I am going mad, my results are more in the hypo range now and I think that has worsened the eye problems, I am coming up to 2 years with this hateful graves diease , I take selenium, fish oil and carniture all to no avail. Any suggestions for help with eyes would be very appreciated

Are u in the US?
Sorry to hear about your difficulties with your eyes.
19 months and still waiting appears to be rather unusual and extremely concernong tbh.
I had an eye problem and went to the local eye hospital where they have an emergency eye clinic/casualty.
However I realise that not everyone is in the same fortunate position whereby they can access a major teaching eye hospital so readily and easily.
It may be worth enquiring of the hospital if they could indicate when you are likely to be seen.
I wondered if you could access an optometrist who could chase up this referral?
Have you got a local eye hospital where you could be seen as an emergency in the eye casualty department?
Have you had any thyroid antibody tests done at all?
Have you anti nuclear antibody tests been done?
Are you able to get any tests done yourself?
Personally I would chase up this referral and insist that something be done Hope the above is helpful.

I found it that it can cause crdiac arrhythmias. I also felt very anxious.
It seems that if th eye problem flares up that it is a sign of low Tsh. does anyone else get this impression?
Does anyone know what a normal level of TSH is pleae? Mine is 0.15. T4 is increased as it is 15.4
