I finally heard back from my Endo’s office, and he suggested the same thing. This doesn’t make sense to me though. Yes, my eyes have a burning sensation, but I also mentioned that I’ve had a constant headache too. The headache does not seem to be related to my eyes, it’s more in the top of my head, not from behind or near my eyes. The information I got with my prescription from the pharmacy says one of the side effects is a headache, but if the headache is severe or persists to contact your doctor. Well, at this point it is severe, and it has persisted since shortly after my 2nd does of methimazole. I’ve also noticed in the last 12 or more hours that my resting heart rate is around 120 bpm. I mentioned this to the lady who called me back from my Endo’s office, and she just said again that I should see an ophthalmologist. If it all seemed in relation to my eyes, I would understand, but it’s not so I’m really uncomfortable with this information. Any other suggestions for me?

Thank you for the hope about the weight. I’ve been worried about that.

Now I’m kind of concerned about the Methimazole. I’ve only been taking it for 5 days now, but I’ve had a constant headache and my eyes have been burning since the 2nd dose. Acetaminophen has helped to lessen the pain a little, but I have not been able to get rid of the pain completely. My stomach does not handle anything stronger than acetaminophen, so I don’t want to try anything else. I’ve tried calling my Endo’s office twice today, and no one answers, not even voice mail. I am going to keep trying, but I was wondering if anyone has had a similar reaction and what their doctor did about it?
