    I was just diagnosed with Graves, had my thyroid scan/uptake and am waiting for those results. I have a question. My feet are puffy and HURT so much. Is this normal? At times I just want to scream! I’m not on any type of treatment yet. I still am not sure what to expect. All this is really scary! My eye involvement so far is dry, irritated eyes and my eye doctor gave me the names of two different drops to use that help. I guess I just need to get some concrete answers, be put on a medication of some sort and go from there. With the feelings I’m experiencing, it seems to be taking forever to get answers!

    Also, I have not had success in posting my own question. I need help with that.

    Hi newly diagnosed I have survived what you are going through. I was diagnosed in 1997, so i am 12 years post therapy.
    Yes to you question puffy feet is one of the side effects of the disease, I also had puffy knees along with this problem. This does go away after treatment but it takes a while, soaking my feet in episome salt helped greatly. Please keep me informed of how you are doing.
