I have an underactive thyroid and I have had my meds amended many times. Was on 200mcg at one time then down to 150mcg and back up again. At the moment I take 100mcg. It is very common for thyroid functions to fluctuate. I have been receiving treatment for an underactive thyroid for 20 odd years.

Unfortunately I am unable to help but I'm sure someone will be along soon to offer advice. I suffer from tight eyes and also need to wear sunglasses most of the time. Can optometrist not advise anything to help relieve the soreness. As I say mine are not sore just tight. Hope you get relief soon.
