Hello Cdempsie - I had the very same puffy eyes (Im on Lethothyroxine) had my Thyroid removed 18 years ago. You may need to go see your GP and have your levels tested as it could be a sign of Graves/Thyroid eye disease. Don't panic - mine were very bad, however once my levels were checked and I was 'ordered' to stop smoking they have reduced in size and will return to normal in time.

Good luck

People can be insensitive! They don't mean any harm and I will say when my eyes first went puffy I di look and feel awful. If you are a smoker it actually worsens...

Good luck with whatever happens - you will be fine...x
