I am 28yr old 6′ 195lb male!…diagnosed with HypoThyroid and Graves…End of 2007 I was 138lbs at 6′ i looked like a skeleton with big/bulging eyes! : ) My heart rate was at a 167 steady…couldn’t tie my shoes with out passing out almost, couldn’t pick up my daughter for more than a minute…my son- couldn’t ride bikes, couldn’t walk to the fridge at times. My eyes would hurt when in bright light, hot flashes constantly, mood swings/ irritability, weird/vivid dreams all the time, out of the ordinary thoughts, and absolutly no energy to do anything! And of course 50lb wight loss. Treatment Methamizole and Metaprolo i think, one for heart one for thyroid. Today 1 yr after diagnosis and treatment I am 200 lbs on average and everything excpet for my eyes are back to normal. I am starting to develop glaucome! Seems this comes with the Graves, due to the elevated preasure, but could also have been underlying for years prior to HT.
Question: Has anyone’s pertruding eye issue been corrected with medication or surgery?
I also have very puffy eyes now, maybe as a result of bulging..I still get slight pain behind my eyes and the side of my temples seems to be swollen ever since pertrusions started. Water does help! I drank it like crazy and for a few weeks, my issue seems to have gotten BETTER, but worsens quickly again. I want a perm fix. Any suggestions! I once considered my self an attractive man, now i hate looking in the mirror and seeing my eyes STARING back at me, when I smile that is when it’s worst. I look horrible, i know its shallow but i want to look as good as I once thought i did and get my confidence back, as i bet all of us do. I’m 28 i look like im 38 because of my eyes!
