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

      as haveing the same problem when I was first told I had Graves Disease and after they radiated my thyroid the bulge went down but now I have perment bags under my eyes and only plastic surgery with get rid of them and I cannot afford that. The eye problem messed up my eye sight so I wear glasses which covers up the bags alot. There are different treatments so do some research and go to an endocrinologist. I hope your outcome is better than mine has been
