Swelling around eyes

I don't know Healing. I only get that when I cry.

Is it possible you are more sensitive to environmental irritations? Pollen? it's that time of year, and it can get painful. Have you tried any cool compresses on the area? This is a general sinus flare area for some people. Though the fact that this has been going on throughout all these months isn't a seasonal thing.

There are many Lymph nodes around the face, perhaps a little gentle downward fingertip massage might help give you some relief, if the 'nodes are getting backed up with toxins.

Hmm. Well, if it was a herx reaction you'd think the lymphatic drainage would help.
Are your thyroids ok?

Yeast/candida is one of the factors to consider in facial swelling, so maybe you're stirring something up in there with the treatment. Are you using any binders? I don't know if they help with dead yeast cells but I don't think a binder would hurt at all to try.

I have swelling around my eyes - but it happens exactly opposite of what you experience. My eyes swell only when I sleep - the longer I'm awake, the less swelling I have.

I have been blaming my adrenals, but I really have no idea as I can't seem to "pin" this on anything with researching it. I get frustrated when there are no leads in any of my search terms and give up. LOL! I need to get back to seeing what I can find.

Oh yeah, I 'm a lot of adrenal support because my adrenals crashed about 3 years ago and I"m still recovering. It wasn't until my adrenals crashed (and took down my thyroid as well) that I started having this issue. My eye swelling has eased up a bit, but I'm really fine tuning my detoxing, and still supporting my thyroid and adrenals.

Healingdaily,

Hi. I used to get this terribly. Sort of like edema of the eyes -both above and below. I would have to put compresses and stand under shower with water beating down on my eyes. And I always looked tired.

I think it's Lyme related inflammation. I also have adrenal/cortisol issues and seasonal allergies (since Lyme) so who knows.

I take Wobynzyme PS which is great for inflammation and Stephania Root by Montana Pharmacy. I started taking it at Trav's suggestion because I couldn't tolerate Japanese Knotwood and Buhner suggest Stephania in its place.

I began to notice the swelling of my eyes going away. I then researched and Stephania also helps eye issues too.

Mine is almost entirely gone now.

I also don't eat packaged foods or processed foods. If I do, the puffiness comes right back. I only use sea salt.

Of course. Just paying it forward. Everything I offer, I most likely learned on here.

Lyme is a steep learning curve and there are so many bizzarro symptoms that get added on - like severe eye puffiness.

Let us know if it works for you.

By the way I love salt. Not a sweet person at all. I add sea salt to all my meals and puffiness still gone.

I have this too! My eyes are so puffy and feel like they are sticky and sweating. I think it's my adrenals, but my tests for cortisol came back normal. I don't take anything for it.
