I have double vision occasionally.  Could this be because of low thyroid levels?

It's entirely possible that it's related to your thyroid condition, but there are many other possible causes.  You should really go to your eye doctor to rule out more serious causes.

I have low thyroid. caused from taking Radio Active Iodine for over active thyroid. My doctor per scribed Synthroid. which must be taken for life. Some blood pressure medicines interact with the Synthroid as well as Cholesterol Medication. If you have low thyroid you should be under the care of a doctor.

go see an endocrinologist.\nArmour thyroid is a POOR form of replacement , and you can become sensitized to it. In addition to that TSH goal now is about 2.0. You are underreplaced and on the wrong product. Get on levothyroxine and the doctor will adjust dose to TSH 2.0, you really should not do the supplements!

May be worth getting your thyroid levels checked. My sister had same symptom and she has been diagnosed with a thyroid problem. Do you feel tired/lthargic, putting on/loosing weight. back pain, these are other sypmtoms of thyroid probs. Hopefully its not this but worth speaking to your dr and get your levels checked.\nGood luck

You should contact your family practitioner.  They will probably take some blood tests and check for diabetes.  You may have a problem with you thyroid, too.  I wouldn't wait.  Make your appointment tomorrow!  Be sure to FAST (not eat or drink anything) after midnight tonight.  They need an accurate test and fasting is the best way to get the best reading.  Call and tell the receptionist you need to see the doctor immediately

I have that problem. I get one maybe 1 or 2 a year. I went to the doctor and they found out that i have a thyroid problem. or it could possible be PCOS. Talk with your doctor or you OB/GYN to see what they could possibly do to check and see what's wrong.

See your eye doctor about this as soon as you can.  You shouldn't experience any sudden vision changes, so this could be a sign of something else that's going on.

Maybe your Synthroid is not strong enough. Does your Dr. do blood work at least once a year to check it? I know this year mine was fine but he had to increase my Synthroid last year.

You would need to get on some medication like synthroid. Talk to your doctor.

I had a similar problem, so I will tell you my story(hope it helps and doesn't bore you to death). This all happened after I had my daughter...I don't know if pregnancy caused it or if it was just coincidental. I first found out about my enlarged thyroid when I was sick. I went to the doctor for being sick, and she told me my thyroid was enlarged and wanted to run tests. I had felt it, but it wasn't that large at the time, so I just thought it was a swollen gland from infection. I had my thyroid levels checked, and they were normal. I went to an endocrinologist and he checked my levels again...normal. At that time, he told me that my only option was to have it removed because he couldn't treat it with medicine if my levels were fine. It wasn't very noticeable then, and I couldn't bare the thought of having my throat cut(he also told me insurance would not cover it because they would consider it 'cosmetic'). Anyway, over the course of the next 2-3 yrs, it gradually grew bigger and bigger. I had my levels checked several more times and they were always normal. I finally went to a new doctor, and she immediately referred me to a surgeon. The first time I saw him, he said it needed to come out. He said the larger it gets, the more chance there is of getting cancer in it. He measured my thyroid and my left nodule was 6cm wide. In January of last year, I had my entire thyroid removed leaving nothing but my parathyroid glands. My thyroid had grown so large that it wrapped around my esophogus and surgery lasted 6 hrs. I now take thyroid replacement hormones daily. If it does not go down, I would highly recommend seeing a specialist. The scar is barely noticeable. They make the incision so that it fits right in with the wrinkles in your neck. I hope this gave you a little insight. By the way, I was never diagnosed with anything other than a simple 'goiter'. \n\nI don't have any professional knowledge of this, but I believe that different people may possible have different ranges of what is 'normal' for their thyroid.  I find it hard to believe that I had all of the above problems, and probably some I forgot to mention, and didn't have even slightly low/high thyroid levels.  I would see another doctor, if not for the simple reason as this:  my surgeon told me that the longer the goiter sits there(and keeps growing and growing)the more likely you are to get cancer in your thyroid.  Good luck.

Women suffering from underactive thyroid experience heavier menstrual periods. Sluggishness and forgetfulness are symptoms of underactive thyroid problem. Other symptoms of this thyroid disorder are dry skin and hair and constipation.\nif you have high thyroid, or an overactive one, the signs are:increased body metabolism. This is followed by weight loss and excessive warmth and sweating. Persons suffering from overactive thyroid experience trembling hands, irritability and rapid heartbeat or palpitations. Women with overactive thyroid or hyperthyroidism may experience shorter or lighter menstrual periods.\nI take medication, and sadly will have to take 1 pill everyday for the rest of my life. there's a blood check that they will do to see if you have low or high. i hope i've helped you!!

Please don't worry yet...until you get a second opinion. It's like a pap....(if you're a girl) you may have an abnormal pap, get a second one done, and you're fine...but on the other hand, you can have a problem. BUT! You don't know until you get the second opinion/test done.\nIn the meantime, here's some information & great links...especially ones that have to do with cancer & understanding thyroid problems more!\n\nI have low thyroid. I have had it for 10 years. I came about after I had my second child. Most people can do well, but myself, if I even miss a day or two, I get super tired, and VERY cranky.

I know some one who had suffered from this problem, his was also due to M.S.. His eyes made small involuntary movements, but the condition seems to have disappeared. He is taking a virtually unknown prescription drug that is working miracles in people with M.S.and other autoimmune disorders, it is known as Low Dose Naltrexone. Doctor Bernard Bihari of New York City has been working with this drug since the 80's. and it is just now starting to get some attention. The second annual Low Dose Naltrexone Conference was held in Washington this year, you can hear the lectures off the web site. Because the monthly treatment cost is only $38 u.s. per patient don't expect any drug company involvement any time soon. A few private clinical trails have commenced world wide and the preliminary results are all quite promising. If you have not heard of this little know treatment yet. try clicking on the link below and start your research, it might be a viable option for you.\n\nAnother very important avenue you should explore when treating M.S. is neurotoxin damage both dietary and environmental. Things like monosodium glutamate, aspartame, heavy metals,food additives, preservatives, fungal and bacterial mycotoxins maybe causing or exacerbating your condition. Many M.S. sufferers have made their symptoms disappear by eliminating the above mentioned poisons from their body.\n\nBecause most packaged foods have M.S.G. (under a disguised category such as modified corn starch, spices, yeast extract, hydrolyzed vegetable protein etc.) I would stick to fresh organically raised foods, stay away from anything packaged . Drink clean distilled or R.O. water only.\n\nGet checked for heavy metal contamination, have both Hair analysis and Urinalysis through Calcium EDTA provocation. There is a possibility that you have mercury poisoning, from either vaccination, or through food consumption. If you are positive for heavy metals, then chelation therapy should be explored. Dr Gary Gordon of Tempe Arizona is the expert here. He also works with Dr Amy Yasko that specializes in patients with neurological disorders.\n\nTo check for biotoxin exposure I would recommend Dr.Shoemaker’s website listed below. On his site there is information on doing a VCS (visual contrast sensitivity) test. This doctor specializes on treating people with biotoxin-induced illness.\n\nSome final recommendations I have for you is to look into: enzyme therapy such as Wobenzym N, (it is very popular in Europe especially Germany), Vitamin D therapy and Histamine therapy \n\nAlthough the doctors mentioned below are available for phone consultations, Dr Bihari will be extremely difficult to speak with, instead I would call one of the compounding pharmacies listed on the web site and ask for names of doctors in your area that might be sending prescriptions to them.\n\nI have confidence that you can beat this thing, or put it into remission, all the best to you!
