i went thru a stage where i have itchy irritated eyes...this was after

several months of treatment. it finally just resolved itself. i think a lot of

stuff can happen in the first year of treatment...and we have to wait it out.

if a person has dry eyes and dry mouth...one would need to check for

sjorgren's syndrome - an autoimmune disease associated with thyroid disease.

tested hypo. I was on synthroid and it stayed, am now on Armour and

it is still a problem. they tear or water for no reason. the liquid

that comes out seems to be acidic, the skin around my eye area gets

very red. some times I want to rip my eyes out. I think I will go to

a Endro instead of regular gp doc. I am just afraid endro won't

prescribe armour. I wont go back to synthroid, it caused such pain

in my feet and legs.
