Hi everyone
I could really use some insight/advice/been there help.  For the past four
days I have been troubled by a low grade achiness in my eyes.  It started in
the right one and now it's in the left.  Over time this has gotten worse and
today I find myself having a very hard time  tolerating the flourescent
lights in my school office.  I'm sitting in a semi-darkened room, but this
isn't the best way to give speech therapy to children.  My eyes are not
watery, they're mildly pink (no, I don't have pink-eye, we checked that
through the school nurse).  My left eye is now hurting so much that it's
closed most of the time, and my darkened glasses are not helping at all.  I
am wondering if this has something to do with my Hashimotos.  At my last
checkup my TSH, T4 and T3 were within normal limits but my TPO had risen
from 75 to 125 in one month (range 0 to 34 normal).  My physician's
assistant was not alarmed by this and refused to raise my medication levels
since "the other numbers look so good".  That was 3 months ago.  I tried to
get in touch with her today, only to be told she is out of town.  She's the
best of the bunch up here-the rest are nightmares who wouldn't know a
thyroid from a hole in the ground.  I have an appointment with a thyroid doc
next Thursday, but I'm starting to get a little scared.  Can anyone help me?
Thanks for listening
Laurie
