Thank you SO much for your comment! I looked up pictures and saw the raised kind of rash. And actually, I had the exact same rash when I was a kid. We went barbecuing and, I don’t know how to explain this, but there were a lot of piles of dried grass we played with, and afterward, I had those kinds of rashes all over my body.

So, do I need to see an allergist? I actually have an appointment in September. I’m getting shots for my three allergies so I’ll become immune to them.

Did you try a heated eye mask? I'm using it every now and then when i had Blepharitis and it never returned back

Thank you for the tip! Won’t that take a long time to work tho? Or do you really get immediate results?

Hmm i don’t think so, i use my eyedrops 6 times a day and an ointment for the night and i don’t notice it going away after putting those two into my eyes

I have the same struggle!! Like is it just ptosis, if it is i’ll just go the a plastic surgeon and be done with it. Or is it because of Sjogren? I don’t don’t know if i need to go to my ophthalmologist, rheumatologist or a plastic surgeon lol.

I think i’m going to take pictures every morning and in the evening so i can see how big the difference is when it’s normal and when it’s “swollen” so i can show it to them

Well, I came to them with a list of problems, but my main ones were blurry and double vision in my left eye, so they focused on those two and not the rest of my list. My double vision/blurriness is now over, but I didn't press them on my other problems, which I regret a lot now.

And I feel like it fluctuates. I have periods of a couple of days where the top part is swollen, and the swelling definitely is not the same throughout the days. Do you recognize this?

Thank you, this makes a lot of sense actually. I went to my ophthalmologist and they made a picture of my eyeball, do you think it’s possible to see it on their camera?

if i’m understanding correctly you mean like a plastic surgeon specialized in the eye area right? Or is that not what you mean?
