Hello everyone I have noticed that my eyes are really puffy after having hypothyroid, I am being tested for adrenal fatigue, I am wondering if maybe these 2 conditions are related to eye puffiness, my right eyes is about 4x as puffy as my left eye, I mean it looks like someone punched me, its not dark just puffy, Its so embarassing, what do you guys think about this :eek:

I really don't have answers, but I have the same problem. My right eye really droops when I have a bad day. I've had Graves disease, and had most of my thyroid removed years ago. But when I really noticed the eye was a few years before my Addison's crisis. When they worked on the adrenal problem and put me on Prednisone, the eye really improved, even though at that time they also put me on less Levothyroxin(Synthroid). However, it got worse again. I was allowed to increase my thyroid meds and it helped, but it is still worse on days when I feel wiped out. My husband can tell what kind of a day I am having by looking at my face. I am currently working with a new Endo who seems like a great problem solver, so perhaps I can get some answers. Just had the appointment and am awaiting direction. I know she wants to change my meds....
