Need relief

I am hypothyroid and have Grave's Disease.  My eyes are extremely fatigued and swollen, bulging out, especially the left eye.  I have been experiencing extreme dizziness and nasea recently and cannot seem to allieviate it.  I feel exhausted 24/7.  What can I do to be rid of the dizziness?  It's affecting my life daily.  It lasts nearly all day long.

Are you on any medication?  Are you seeing a doctor ? And do you have your latest blood test results (TSH; FT4; FT3)?

Sorry - answering questions with questions.  But you shouldn't be feelng so awful without a doctor's intervention, and while adjusting the meds take great patience, there is a light at the end of the tunnel when you start feeling better.

You've come to a great site of really supportive people, many of whom have suffered with Graves, and if you give a little more information, I'm sure you'll get a lot of great advice.  (I'm hypo too, but in the early days and medication is starting to work).   All the symptoms you note can be hypo, and are terrible to have to put up with.

You are both hyper and hypo??? Are you seeing a specialist for treatment and if so, what med's are you taking??? I have a couple of close friends who were also hyper and had grave's, one had her thyroid destroyed radioactively which she is now hypo. The other, refuses to remove her thyroid and is still suffering on med's. It will surely affect your daily activities due to the symptoms that come along with.
