Are you seeing an eye doctor?
@CKBlossom my eye doctor jist gave me eye drops. She didnt really say anything. i see the doctor then i will see the endocrinologist.
I've had Graves for 20 years, and I can tell you only that it isn't so bad ( for me ) once you get treatment. they may bulge or move off centers from each other. I have one eye that bulges slightly and the other is slightly off center. When I was first diagnosed before treatment, both of my eyes were bulging noticibly. Get a good optician and discuss your problem and concerns about Graves. You will know he is good if he understands Graves eye issues. Thyroid issues also cause weird bouts on an emotional rollercoaster. I have learned to self check any anxiety or depression triggers to ensure they are for a real reason and not my Graves. Additionally, I've had people tell me I'm depressed, angry, anxious, and stupid and to just get over it! I am none of these most of the time, but they say these things when I'm really not feeling that way. My entire point is to continue your life like Graves isn't a thing, get treatment and take control of it! It is hard, but talking to an understanding person helps.
