Having bags under my eyes when reaching the end of a working term and hitting Christmas and new year is hard. I know some of it’s fatigue and the CLL but anyone any trick on how to reduce them please?
Apart from a holiday abroad of course !
Diagnosed January 2017, currently on WandW due chemo 2020/2021
Many thanks

The beauty magazines used to say tea bags or cucumber slices on your eyes. Might feel good, but..... Also avocado masks for your face - why waste a good avocado on that? beer in your hair..... Same question? Egg on your face ........ etc. There may be something to all of these old tips - probably still around, but I’m well past reading those magazines, other than thumbing through one while waiting in a doctor’s office., and I’m not into food on my face.
For relief when fatigued I find moist cold or warm compresses help, but for the bags I suspect that rest and more water are the best approaches. I recently noticed a woman, while at a concert, with really significant bags under her eyes. It left me with the same question you have. I don’t want mine to end up that bad. I plan to ask about it at my next appointment.
