Puffy eyes?

Hello everyone. I have been diagnosed with IGA nephropathy (CKD3) earlier this year. I have been retaining a lot of fluid and in particular, have very puffy eyes (worse in the morning but puffy throughout the day). I have tried cooling eye masks, cold tea bags, ice, puffy eye cream. All with no improvement. Has anything worked for you?

Hi, my doctor has me take a very small dose of a water pill. All is pretty good when I drink a lot of water.

If you are Stage 3 ckd you may need to take a water pill - lasix. You mentioned "puffy eyes", but are your ankles swollen too? Edema is common when in ckd. You need to discuss this with your care team/nephrologist. Good luck.

I am mid-thirties and I have had dark purple circles under my eyes since I was a kid. I've tried other creams and lotions, and concealers. Nothing seemed to work. Until I found the Made from Earth Advanced Eye Repair. I decided to smooth it over my entire face, since I have a big problem with dry skin and a little bit of roughness and redness. WOW!!! Every night before bed for 2 weeks, HUGE difference.

My dark circles are gone, my skin is smooth and hydrated, coloring is more even, my face feels firm and tight.
