Prednisone can cause drug-induced cushings and too much PTU can cause hypothyroidism -- both of which can cause some of these symptoms (hypo more likley to cause swelling of eye lids). Would talk to your endocrinologist about current thyroid levels and plans to wean off steroids.
Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
I actually don't take the PTU and Prednisone since 2007. I just take the levoxyl (50 mg and in Sept. may TSH was 4.82). I am worried because the left side of my face (cheek, under eyes) is swollen since last week. It got better but it is still not normal. Can hypothyrodism cause a swelling on one side of the face?
With a TSH of 4.82 you are under medicated.
