I did not have GD last fall but now I also notice my
eyes bothering me. I live in CT. We went to the beach
one Sunday and when I came home my eyes were killing me.
I will keep you updated esp. now that the weather is
getting cooler. Thanks for giving me something to think
about. Where in the NE do you live?? KimHi everyone,
I was just wondering if anyone else notices a change with their graves
disease symptoms as the cooler, dryer months are upon us here in the
nutmeg Northeast? For myself, my symptoms are milder in the summer
and spring and seem to worsen in the fall and winter.I have had graves
for 3 years and noticed this pattern.Brittany Edwards
I, too, live in the Northeastern US and have been experiencing eye problems.
I thought it was the result of lots of computer work, but wasn’t sure
as I’ve never had this problem before.My eyes feel pressured from behind, tear a lot, itch quite a bit and
feel fatigued… like I’ve strained to see for a very long time. I’ve
never had eye aches before, but now have them.What do I do? My endo simply nods and says ‘we’ll wait until you stabilize
before we investigate the other symptoms.’ I could scream at her, rather than
calmly say these symptoms are new, and what do other GD patients experience.Help!
My eye problems started out with the tearing problems, then later the hurting amd getting bigger. I saw the optician first (by mistake, I did not know about opthos-oops!) and she suggested hydo tears for the tearing. I thought that was stupid cause they were already too wet. It turns out and I learned the hard way, that I had to put the hydro tears in because the reason my eyes did all that tearing was because they were already dry. Took me a while to catch on to this one!

I have also been having some problems with my eyes. I asked my
Endo about it and he said that almost all of his Graves patients
seem to have their eyes flair up during hay fever season, whether
they have allergies or not (it just so happens that I do.) I thought
that ws interesting. -
