I was never on Tapazole, so I don’t think it is that.

It sounds like it is probably from the Graves.

I have seen an ophthalmologist a few years ago-probably due for another visit.

The puffiness is due to the Graves, just was not sure of the discoloration.

Makeup seems to hide it ok, but I hate having to wear makeup.

So discouraging, but it could be worse.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Thank you all for your posts. I just wish there was more information out there on my case. There really is no info specifically on passing antibodies in breastmilk. I think that even the professionals are not that informed since this only happens in 2-5% of cases.

Just when I feel somewhat content with things, I get someone like my mom or husband that make me 2nd guess my choices.

The thought of doing something that can harm my baby makes me sick. I am already ridden with guilt over her having to deal with this and if there was anything else I could have done differently while pregnant.
