Hi nothingwrong

I sincerely hope that you are feeling as well as you possibly can be today? I am so sorry to read that you are having problems with swollen eye lids. There could be so many different reasons for this issue that you really should have this checked out by your GP? It may be Fibro related or it could be allergies or cysts , so the doctor really the needs to assess your situation.

I have pasted you a couple of links below relating to your issue, and I genuinely hope that you find them useful:

I genuinely hope that you can find some resolution and relief to your problem.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Hi nothingswrong, I get this I went to the docs with it and they told me I must have got soap in my eye and it has reacted. So I don't know what it is. Mine is usually first thing in the morning and sometimes my eyeball itself gets a blister on it :) looks funny, but it is uncomfortable. It goes away after a few hours. I hope you have better luck than I did with your doctor and will look forward to your next post :) good luck and. Hope it gets better soon

Hi thanks for the reply yes I get this in the mornings been to gp many times with weird symptoms like this and the only thing he comes up with is fibromyalgia after looking at me like I'm an alien my feet are also swollen in the mornings which usually gets the same response

Know that one, one time I was with my doctor and he just steepled his fingers and said that I really had to expect these things at my age... I was only just turned forty at the time :) I get swollen feet and ankles no one has told me why. Hope you are not swollen with bulging eyes lids to go with it for now. From a fellow alien ;)

Do you have swelling in the morning cos I get told all the time this is the wrong way round and should be at night. My gp took over 2years to take me serious and not unroll I refused to move from the surgery. I have had the age thing for the last 10 years and I'm sure he thinks I'm a hypocondriac. Nanoo nanoo

Must admit it is mostly at night, but my eye was always in the morning. I was told to make sure my eye make up was taken off fully, nice compliment since I rarely wear it haha. Hazbutt to them :) does your swelling go down as the day goes on? Nanoo nanoo

Yes after about 3 hours my eyes look fine and by the end of the day my shoes are loose .the end of my day is usually about 4 pm I've had enough by then

in reply tonothingwrong

I would say lucky you but it is annoying whatever it is. I am the complete opposite, my work day finishes at 1 and by about 2 nothing fits right including my shoes! I get so frustrated, do you also suffer from irritable bowel? Or is it only your feet that swell up?

Thankfully ibs is not something I have but my daughter who is 12 has it and I would take that from her gladly if she didn't have to suffer it.I know how traumatic that is for her with being at school and having to get to use the toilets.

My eye's are swollen in the mornings. After a few hours it goes away. I also get red spots on my skin that look like blisters and are hard to heal??? I guess the symptom's just keep on coming. Hope you feel better.

Does the swelling eye problem only happen at certain times of year or is it consistent throughout the year?

Also about the rashes, which of these is it (be sure to click and read the descriptions):

It's Vesicle, but get's redder and is hard to heal. My eye swelling is just random. Some days are worse and others not as bad. My left side under my breast is killing me, not sure if it's Fibro related???

Not what you're looking for?
