Hello, I’m new to the website and sorry but for the life of me I can’t figure out how to post a new question. However, this question about eye swelling is similar to mine. I was diagnosed in May 2008 with Graves and GO. Since then my thryoid levels have been a yoyo. When put on methimazole I go way "hypo" (last week my TSH was 92.44 with .3 – 5 being normal) T3 and T4 out of range as well. Five weeks ago before going on Methimazole my TSH was .06 and I was having problems with rapid heart rate and high blood pressure. This same thing happened back in Sept. The problem is whenever my TSH goes above normal range my eyes swell around the outside. When I go off the swelling goes down some. I also have ongoing problems with double vision. Finally the question, my endocrinologist wants me to take both methimazole and levothyroxin this time to try to get my levels stable. Has anyone taken this route of treatment and how has it affected your eyes? Thanks and sorry this is a question to a reply.
