Is it ok to have Botox if you have Graves’ disease?

Asked By:lisab337 in Charlotte, NC

I was diagnosed with Graves 2.5 years ago. My thyroid levels remain normal without medication and I have mild eye symptoms. I guess I am technically not in remission (because my TSH has never returned to normal. Is it ok to resume Botox injections in my forehead without causing an increase in eye buldge?
