I think I might have Graves’ disease.

Hello. I am a 63 year old female and I suffer from Ulcerative colitis. I am also on carbimazole 5mg as I have an active nodule which made me hyper. This has settled now. However my eyes are now bothering me. I feel pressure behind them. They go red. I am seeing the eye specialist this Wednesday and the endocrinologist in March.
If my thyroid is back to normal, why am I having eye symptoms?

Armelle, you need to ask your doctor to test you for Graves antibodies. Some people have nodules and an autoimmune disease like Graves. I don't think this should wait until March. You need to know what is causing your eye problems. Your family doc can also test you for these antibodies.
