What can I do with my swollen lids?

[Jimena]

My lids are genetically :eusa_whistle: swollen. I have had these lids since a teenager, but it seems they are getting worse day by day. I don't know what to do about them. I have tried Sephora's cucumber pads and they gave a lot of relief but I can't have them on all day.

Any tips???

Thanks a lot.

Darling, it sounds like you have allergies. I know that I have allergies, and I always get up with swollen eyelids. Try not to sleep on your stomache. Try to try on your back with your head resting on two pillows. This will help prevent fluids accumulating in your face. I also suggest seeing your doctor to rule out allergies. Hope this helps. :satisfied: leslie

Along with the allergy testing, be sure to have your thryoid checked. I have a thyroid disorder and dry and/or puffy eyes is a symptom. After I told my derm I had a thryoid disorder, she said that was probably why my eyes are puffy....it's a symptom of the disorder.

Thyroid testing can be kinda touchy though, you may need to see a specialist, because I had to go to a deeper level of testing to actually see that I had a thryoid problem.

I'm double wammied, I've got slight allergies, with very sensitive eyes AND the stupid thyroid disorder, so some days.....man I look rough!!!!

Good luck.
