hi I have recently seen my doctor about 2 lumps on either side of my neck, he done blood tests which he said were basically fine, I am now having blurred vision and the lumps are causing uncomfortable ache in the back of my head, I have read about graves disease and many of the symptoms I have, could the doctor have missed graves disease?
I have Graves Disease- diagnosed in 2013- slight thyroid eye disease in my left eye- not noticeable to the naked eye. non active state and my measurements have remained the same on my eyes.
Did the RAI treatment in Jan 2015 in which I still didnt have any eye symptoms- hadn't changed and didnt get on Armour until April 29th 2015. 60mg
In the meantime my last blood work in April was:
T3 Free 1.4 range 2.0-4.4
T4 Free 0.29 range 0.82-1.77
T4 Total 1.4 range 4.5-12.0
TSH 42.
I have recently had 5 little what looked to be sand fly bites on my legs after sweeping up some sand and dirt and rubbish I had sharp shooting pains in my head (which had started 2 1/2 months before getting better and worse but this day was really bad) and blurred vision at lunch time. By next morning rash had spread to shins and and hands and as day went on it got worse and hosp staff treated and sent me home.
I have Hashimotos disease and have bouts of blurred vision, eye pressure/aching and irritation. Been over medicated for the 10 months but had this at times when under-medicated. Just lowered my dose 2 weeks ago because my ft4 was at the very top of the range, my ft3 is in the upper 2/3. Was told to go from 112 Tirosint to 100 and stay the same on the Cytomel. My rt3 was too high previously and agreed to the dose change.
t stand it any longer- I went through the ER because I had blurred vision, pressure in my face and eyes, etc. After perfroming a CT scan they stated I had sinusitis and prescribe antibiotics and inflammation medication. I thought... that's what it was all along!
A week later it was time for me to do blood work for my thyroid:
March 2015
T3 Free 1.3 range 2.0-4.4
T4 Free 0.24 range 0.82-1.77
TSH 38.360 range 0.450-4.
now my neck seems swollen especiay the right side and my left eye seems swollen, I have double vision at times and the sun hurts my eyes, my vision is blurry and that is being kind, I keep trying to get into my GP but it is school physical time and he is backed up until Sept 4, how unreal is that? My eye doctor retired and I am worried that something is going on different with my thyroid. any ideas from anyone else. Thank you.

Keep in mind though pseudo-papilledema is connected to SLE, Graves’ disease and thyroid conditions and if it is thought to have had more to do with dry eye's that's very commonly associated with celiac too so your visual issues are more likely to be connected to your known conditions than something else.
You said "A year ago a parathyroid adenoma was discovered and I had that removed.
ve been to many specialsts for both my double vision and my hearing loss and no one will say that there is a connection between the two.
I've had double vision once in my left eye and 3 times now in my right eye. The right eye recovers in 7 weeks (with the eye turned in). The left eye had turned out and that took 3 months for recovery. I'm a very healthy 66 year old women and am very active, not overweight at all. I've never been diagnosed with MS or any other illnesses.
Last year I was diagnosed with Graves disease and had a radioactive ablation done in April. Sometime around March of 2009, my eyelids became puffy and my eyes were usually watery. I called my Endocrinologist and asked if this was related to my thyroid and she sugg. I visit my Primary Care Dr. I did and he followed an allergy path. I finally went to an allergist who said that allergies may be playing a role, it was not the primary cause.
I have suspected that the Lyme was flaring again, when last Saturday I suddenly developed an inflamed area in the white of my right eye. other than bugging me, and burning slightly, I have no blurred or impaired vision. It is slightly better after 48 hours, but not significantly. My eye doc said it was less swollen and less red than the normal inflammation or Uveitis he sees, and put me on steroid eye drops for a week.
I have blurred vision in 1 eye. It has come and went for the past 3 years. I did see a doctor initially who said there was bleeding behind the retina caused by stress. He said it may come and go but was not serious. It is troublesome that it comes back. It had been atleast a year of clear vision until now.
I had Restor lens surgery 6 months ago, days after both eyes repaired I could see fairly well, now my vision is very blurred, can't see anything clearly within around 8 feet and it seems to be getting worse. Right eye hurt something awful for about 2 months, that is down to occassionally, but it triggers a headache. Just returned from vacation where I was looking constantly, at night both eyes would literally throb. What could be the problem and can this be corrected?
This could be something as simple as needing glasses or dry eyes to something like cataracts, corneal disease, retinal disease, etc, etc. We know you have blurred vision worse in the mornings and at night. I would begin with a very complete eye exam with an ophthalmologist then take it from there. Good Luck.
