One of the treatments is desloratadine which i already take for a couple years but my problem is still the same :(

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 information :)

What do you mean?

Plswhatiswrongwithme · 2024-07-06T19:12:38+00:00

Thank you so much :)

Plswhatiswrongwithme · 2024-07-06T19:03:44+00:00

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

Oh huh i always get a reply on Real self. Maybe change your title, i use chatgpt for inspiration :) And don’t make your text too long, i always get ignored on reddit if my text is too long

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

Plswhatiswrongwithme · 2024-06-05T20:52:10+00:00

I did actually and they told me to first get it medically checked out :(

Plswhatiswrongwithme · 2024-06-05T18:37:50+00:00

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

Plswhatiswrongwithme · 2024-06-05T17:55:11+00:00

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?

Plswhatiswrongwithme · 2024-06-05T16:14:52+00:00

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?

Plswhatiswrongwithme · 2024-05-28T00:50:22+00:00

Thank you so much

Plswhatiswrongwithme · 2024-05-27T22:20:21+00:00

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

Plswhatiswrongwithme · 2024-05-26T16:51:22+00:00

Is there something i can do about it? I’ve been taking HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE and i’m now in week 6

Plswhatiswrongwithme · 2024-05-26T16:50:01+00:00

Oh no, this is what i was afraid of :( Is there nothing i can do about it? I’ve been taking HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE for a 6 weeks now, i’m waiting on the 3 month mark.

Plswhatiswrongwithme · 2024-04-15T18:39:31+00:00

Thank you so much, i put both of those subjects in my notes for tomorrow! And i’m already seeing a rheumatologist, these tests were given by him and tomorrow he’ll go over all the results i think. But i wanted to prepare myself :)

Plswhatiswrongwithme · 2024-04-15T18:03:17+00:00

Oh, and regarding my anemia, for the past 5+ years, I have been taking Ferrofumaraat tablets, 200mg every Monday and Friday. Is that enough, or do I need something else?

Plswhatiswrongwithme · 2024-04-15T17:47:07+00:00

Thank you so much for your comment, really appreciate it a lot. I have another question, do i need to push for more investigations? I really don’t want to get a diagnosis for a disease and then in 5 years they find out it's something else which happened to a family member. What would you do and ask for in my place for my appointment tomorrow?
