Eye numb feeling

Anyone have a sort of numb feeling around the eye?  I have been having this around my right eye and it feels really strange.  I also have that swelling feeling in the submenal salivary gland and fullness in ear on the right.  The right is the side that the thyroid is enlarged.  

So strange -- just wanted to see if it happens to anyone else.

I go back to the dr tomorrow.

I also have that issue of panic and aniexty. and for over a month my eye has been feeling numb and just kinda a dry feeling.. I asked my Doctor about it and she had me ask my nero. and now they are testing me for stroke.. I am nervous so I am thinking it maybe just stress. I hope to find out something soon. just wish there was something to ease it up a bit! If you find anything remedies plz. let me know .. I also get numb feeling in my arms and legs and loose my ability to move them would that be from stress to?

Thanks Jules and Annie.  My ENT told me I could have my thyroid out if I wanted to.  Maybe that's what I'll do for vacation this year.  Who knows.  I think I'll keep it for a while longer and just get back on my meds.

I know what your talking about I have that strange feeling in my right eye. The right side of my thyroid is slightly swollen I can feel it in my right ear and the it goes up to my eye. Before I ever felt it in my eye I had an eye exam and the doctor said you shut your right eye slower she said that is part of Thyroid eye disease. I thought she was crazy then 3 months after the exam my eye started to bother me. I went back to her and she ordered a CT of the orbits and it showed mild thyroid eye disease. I thought maybe it was the antibodies attacking but, My GP said you can not feel antibodies! I swear you can! Your not alone , I just wish we knew what it was.

Yup, same boat, and it's barely staying afloat! After awhile, you get used to it, though lol.....

DULL EYE -- that is a great discription!!!  Too strange.  I just want relief of it all!  Swollen glands are not helping the issue!

Yes!  Mostly in my left eye, on and of for months.  I was describing it as a dull eye.  I also had intermittent  shooting pains in that eye, and blurry vision.  If I looked in the mirror with one and then the other eye my face looked redder through one and orangey in the other.  I have TSH 12.7.  Other issues include arachnoid cyst and pineal cyst, possible rheumatic fever.  I've been going around and around with these symptoms looking for which problem is to blame.

I have also had numbness coming and going around my right eye.  That is just bizarre that I am not the only one.  I too have a swollen sick thyroid.

I have numbness around my left eye, but the right side of my neck is the enlarged side...and I have a general weakness/decreased sensation down my left side, but it's most noticeable in my facial muscles since I'm constantly using them. I hope you figure out what it is! Maybe your doctor will order an MRI or CT scan of your head...that could be helpful.
