I have had graves disease for at least a year now. i have had a total
thyroidectomy and i went thru radiation last april. i can tell i still
have it when i get mad i can feel the pressure on my eyes. i gained a
lot of weight for taking prednisone for so long. i have started
walking again. i am up to almost two miles a day. my problems are my
legs. i am sure its from the graves disease. man does that hurt! but
i know i have to keep trying. do any of you with graves have a special
diet?

Try to get some bloodtests done (free t4 and freet3 and TSH) to see if you
are still hyper, it is possible even after radiation. Do you have any other
symptoms along with aching legs? I hope others comment on this symptom.
Also, if your eyes continue to be painful try to get a visit with an
experienced ophthalmologist.

Re diet, one thing which leaps to mind is asparagus, which has a high iodine
content, and made me feel very uncomfortable when I began Graves Eye
Disease.
