Puffy eyes

[Lucylou72]

Hi 👋 Has anyone experienced puffy eyelids and a bit of swelling under the eyes? I have lupus and sjogrens so not sure which would cause this.. I am having a painful flare at the moment. Quite new to this as diognosed Dec 2022. Only seen rheumatologist once and due to see them again this month but have been told they are running behind as was waiting to mention it then.

Yes. Puffy eyes. Red rims around eyes. Especially during a flare. Antihistamine was prescribed and it helps. But try your GP for advice.

Thank you mrsmarigold I'm going to take a antihistamine. They make me feel a bit tired and groggy but worth it to help with swelling.

Hi , yes I have UDCT likey Lupus /Sjorgens . I've suffered fmon a few occasions with red swollen eyes ,one morning I couldn't open my eyes due to the swelling. I took photos and the Rheumatologist said it was peri orbital swelling .It was quite uncomfortable, I used a cold compress to ease thd swelling x
