Guest guest Posted January 2, 2002 Report Share Posted January 2, 2002 Lynn... Sometimes cold wet tea bags over the eyes help with swelling. But the swelling from pred. is stubborn... Try either the tea bags or sliced cucumbers. That's what I did when I had the pred. swelling. Annette Around Eye Swelling Has anyone got any remedies...anything...that helps offset the puffing and swelling around the eyes? Mine have been so bad the past few days, I can actually feel it all through the day! Vision has been getting blurry, but it is temporary, then restores itself. I'm starting to feel like Cromagnum Woman.... And my face is getting huge, too....gee, does this happen when you decrease the Pred?? Oh well, always something...

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2002 Report Share Posted January 2, 2002 Thanks, Annette!! I wonder what the boss would do if he walked in on me with a teabag on my left eye?? LOL!! Does the swelling go away, does it really...as the Pred is decreased?? Oh, please, give me hope! Can you tell I'm not taking this very well this a.m.? LOL! Lynn --- Annette Flamand wrote: > Lynn...

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2002 Report Share Posted January 2, 2002 You're talking well enough for me to know exactly what you're saying. (Maybe that says a lot about me, too, huh?) I found that the swelling did go away as the pred is reduced. But every now and then I can see puffiness around my eyes and under my chin (just where I do not need more puffiness, thank you very much!)

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2002 Report Share Posted January 2, 2002 Lynn, 's eyes were very puffy. It was at it's worse after his afternoon nap. It did get better! Quite quickly after we started lowering his prednisone dose. Hang in there!
