Hey!  I have that same thing and have been told it is caused by very dry eyes.  Sometimes you are so accustomed to the dry eyes that you think it is normal.  My eyes still will water,but from the outside not the tearducts.  Another symptom of dry eye.  The needle sticking villians are relentless.  You can get some OTC moisture drops. Get good ones.  Or talk to your eye doc about Restasis.  Dry eye is a symptom of Sjogren's, yet another autoimmune disease that crosses over with Hypothyroid, Hashi's and Graves.   Do you have very dry mouth also?
