Thanks my dear for all your explanation and your time spent for to answer !one question: till now my eyes are not herritated and not dry too, but only a little puffing on the upper eyelids to the eyes. So how much time it's developped to be worse in this disease? Do take a time for that ?
Thanks a lot!

Hi Crystal, I've been diagnosed with graves myself quite recently. I've noticed in the last few days that my eyes have started to bulge, I look like I'm staring when I see myself in the mirror. It's quite scary! I'm just wondering how you got on with the green tea? Did you try it and did it help with your eye? I see your post was 1 year ago...hope you're feeling better now!

Management of this condition with the eyes is very complex. Particular attention needs to be paid to where you are in the course of the disease process, as it typically ends after 1-2 years. During that time you are “active” with inflammation and discomfort. After the active phase, inflammation resolves and ideally this the best time for surgery.
Also, you should carefully research the potential effects of RAI treatment if you have G.O. as there have been many instances where RAI treatment worsened the eye symptoms in Grave's patients.
Get yourself referred to an oculoplastic surgeon to watch for any signs of dry eye, double vision and vision change.
Your body is trying to heal itself from a disease that affects many tissues, and good nutrition, regular exercise, and plenty of rest can help you recover. Eat foods high in B-vitamins and iron, such as whole grains (if no allergy), fresh vegetables, and sea vegetables. Increase antioxidant foods in your diet (blueberries, tomatoes and cherries)
Agree with mymalo, cigarette smoking has been shown to worsen the disease. If you are a smoker, one of the most important steps you can take is to stop smoking. You should also try to avoid secondhand smoke.
If you take thyroid hormone medications, talk to your doctor before consuming soy products. There is some evidence that soy may interfere with absorption of thyroid hormone.
Hope it helps. I wish you a fast recovery.
Vincent.

Hi Vincient
I am thinking of writing a book on Graves disease. I don't want to plagerize but your information is outstanding and well presented. May I use the information you provided in it?

No matter how sick I am, or how much worse it may become, thyroid removal will never, ever, be an option for me. As long as I have my thyroid, I know there's hope of finding a way to cure myself naturally.
These days, it's all about supporting drug companies and pushing as many people as possible into a lifestyle of having to be dependant on drugs just to stay alive.
Is that really what you want? Think very carefully about this.
Remember the global shortage of Neo-Mercazole last year? Who's going to guarantee that if you have your thyroid removed, there absolutely will never, ever be a global shortage of your synthetic thyroid hormones?
What happens when you can't get your synthetic thyroid hormones? You die. (I'll bet your doctor hasn't informed you of that inconvenient little fact!)
Do drug companies and quacks care about that? No, of course not.
The only person who's ever going to care about your health is YOU.

Do you mean that you put a drops of some tea already prepared and cooled into your eyes? I didn't get really what do you mean!
thanks .

If you lie back with the teabags over your eyes and gently press them down, just a little, with your eyes closed loosely, you should feel a little bit of the tea get into your eyes. Roll your eyes around a little to move the tea around. You might want to keep a paper towel handy to catch any liquid that wants to roll down the sides of your face.
Not everything works for everyone. I hope that this works for you!!

True green tea works very well. I have braves disease and I also have radioiodine . I didn't have bulging eyes but my eyes were dried and dirty all the time.I was recomended green tea at the clinic and works well for me. I had swollen eyelids bags and dark circles and it all improved quickly with the green tea. Although they recommend that you close your eyes when applying the tea bags because some people can find ita bit itchy.
I was given this natural prescription that works very well for me. You need to make cucumber and mint juice. In a little jar you put one table spoon of this juice one table spoon of almond oil and two table spoons of aloe vera gel. Mis all and keep it in the fridge. You need to apply it in the morning and at night and you will see real improvement in a few days. In three or four weeks your dark circles are gone and also the fine lines.
Also grated raw potatoes are good for the eyes
For skin itchy I use coconut oil and works well for me
I hope this is of help it works very well for my eyes
