What Causes Intermittent Eye Pain While On Levothyroxine?
I have a history of graves disease for 31 years, received the iodine radioactive isotope in my early 30s. about 7 years ago, the graves returned and affected my eyes. I was on high dose steroids for about 6 months with a 2 month taper. Recently I have been feeling that my thyroid is acting up again. My primary care doctor did a TSH which was low. We decreased my levothyroxine about a month ago. In the last couple of days I have been having intermittent eye pain that has worsened today and it seems like my eyeball is larger than my left. Should I be worried about my thyroid again?
