Hi,
I was very recently diagnosed, December, with Graves Disease, but have had symptoms since September. It took that long to get a confirmation. I am on meds 3 weeks now. Since beginning of December my eyelids have been puffy. One more so than the other. Today the puffiness is really bad. I am avoiding going out in public as very self conscious. Also eye surrounds are painful. Eyes feel and look like I have been crying for a least a week. Sleep is also very, very poor. I feel very low.
