I had a total thyroidectomy for Graves Disease on 8/4/08 pathology came back clean and now I'm on .175 of synthroid and vit d (calcitriol) and calcium supplements.
Ever since the surgery, I've noticed a slight twitch/spasm of both my upper and lower left eyelid and an odd sensation surrounding my eye. It is not painful and does not affect my vision.

I told my doctor about the weird twitch/sensation i've been having since the surgery.
he looked at my eye and my doctor mentioned that my right eye is larger than my left eye. . .
he said not to worry about the twitch unless my eyelid is drooping. . .but if one eye is bigger than the other then isn't the eyelid drooping?
i never noticed this before, I've been going through old pictures and sometimes I see a difference and sometimes I don't.
now i'm freaking out what if the twitch/sensation is related to this size change and what could it be. . .I don't want to be a person with numerous health problems. . .

Has anyone else experienced this?

now i'm freaking out that I could have something else wrong with me.
related to surgery? MS? a Neurological disorder? something worse? too much synthroid?
nothing at all?
too much time at the computer?


aghhhhh!
HELP!

Thanks
