I’ve had a problem with fluid retention, especially in the legs and hands, since Graves’ began. I can’t get any answers from doctors about why this happens, but my doctor has prescribed some mild diuretics to help when I need them the most. My ophthalmologist told me he believes people with Graves’ have a tendency to retain fluids in their tissues, and I know from talking to others that I’m not the only one.
