Hi, I am a 28 year old woman and was diagnosed with graves disease 3 years ago. I have commented o many forums regarding my problem but would like your advice. I was treated with radio active iodine in 2006 and then became hypothyroid, I now take 150mg of levothyroxine daily. I have never suffered from graves opthalmology as far as i'm aware.
For the last 6 months I have had a chronic daily headache. This started 3 days after purchasing new glasses. Since then I have seen a neurologist and had a ct scan. I have tried many different medications including anti depressants, beta blockers and am now on anti epileptics, none have helped. Other symptoms I have are - my left pupil is slightly larger than my right, my left eye twitches when reading, extreme pain when looking upwards which increases my headache, double vision when reading, blurred vision, itchy and irritated eyes.
I have had an eye test and the optician said I had slight astigmatism. She thinks my glasses might be too strong and wants to change them. Could I have eye symptoms so long after my treatment? I am so confused and depressed, i'm not sure what to do next. My eyes don't look bulgy but my graves disease was very hard to diagnose as I showed little signs of it. Even though my t4 was above 80. Any advice would be greatly received. Thankyou very much
