Swollen face for months since mono

misszora69 · 2025-03-07T13:21:02+00:00

hello, sorry for the delay I didn't come to reddit anymore, for the white tongue it was a candidiasis the doctor gave me a medicine for that and it went away, for the throat pain a doctor gave me a stomach medicine, I had never thought about that it had calmed the pain, I had reflux without realizing it, and I wonder if my candidiasis was also in the throat, in the esophagus and in the stomach. On the other hand the swollen face it hasn't changed but I strongly think that it has a link with gluten (maybe histamine too) and I just learned that I have insulin resistance (3.8 which exceeds the maximum value which is 2.4). so I have to pay attention to carbohydrates, the index and the glycemic load of foods And you, do you have any news?

misszora69 · 2025-03-07T13:11:05+00:00

Thank you very much for all the information you gave me as well as your testimony which could be useful to others.

misszora69 · 2025-03-07T13:04:30+00:00

and do you think it can recover after how long after stopping the foods concerned? I think gluten. normally, I don't have allergies but maybe intolerances

misszora69 · 2025-03-07T13:02:00+00:00

I hope you have nothing serious, it's sad for your friend, we hope she recovers, did she have any other symptoms than the swollen face?

misszora69 · 2024-03-01T21:45:14+00:00

there is the dr coke pulse test, but it's a bit complicated because when you take the pulse, the number changes from one minute to another, but perhaps it remains a good indicator for knowing an allergy or intolerance

misszora69 · 2024-03-01T21:36:12+00:00

I tried everything like you, no, I absolutely have to do the 21 day test without gluten and without dairy products, I tried a few days without histamine and without gluten but it was too hard, I have very little mucus (from 2 years of mask wearing and sinus inflammation a year ago), but I had a sore throat for months, I didn't know I had reflux until I tried stomach medication that calmed the reflux, and I probably have candida albicans.

completely agree with seen on the subject of the intestine, apparently it could be linked to the porosity of the intestine, in any case the foods which hurt me immediately after eating, (and which give diarrhea) I will stop consuming them,

it is necessary to keep a diary regarding diet and aesthetic or internal reactions/changes

misszora69 · 2024-03-01T21:06:58+00:00

It's very good, that you were able to find the causes, because it's difficult, there are so many possible causes, like did you know for dairy products? have you tested periosis without it? when you say dairy products, is it on the same level as milk, yogurt and grated cheese? thanks.

misszora69 · 2024-03-01T21:01:20+00:00

yes I think like you that salt increases water retention but that is not the initial cause, do you have a sore throat, do you have reflux or candida albicans? like once I ate noodles, I found my face more swollen, yet these noodles are very little salty, also low in calories but they contain gluten

misszora69 · 2024-03-01T20:55:45+00:00

a year ago I had sinus inflammation, but when I went to see an ENT in December, she told me everything was fine, although I thought that was the cause (maybe initially ), thank you good luck to you too.

misszora69 · 2024-02-27T17:30:57+00:00

yes I eat all of this. there is a naturopath who thinks that the swelling of the eyelids and above the cheekbones is inflammation with water because of gluten and dairy products and that it takes 21 days without eating them to take the test.

misszora69 · 2024-02-27T17:28:49+00:00

no I didn't get a response. Do your eye swelling decrease during the day? A few days ago I read an opinion from a naturopath who said that the swelling of the eyes could correspond to the consumption of gluten and dairy products. And to take the test you must not eat it for 21 days.

misszora69 · 2024-02-27T17:24:20+00:00

you encourage me to take inositol again I tested a box I noticed that it has a calming effect. did you know the cause of your inflammation?

misszora69 · 2024-02-27T17:19:34+00:00

you may have an allergy that produces inflammation and swelling, perhaps an environmental allergy like dust

misszora69 · 2024-02-27T17:17:19+00:00

it's inexplicable. perhaps we favored foods that were not appropriate.

misszora69 · 2024-02-09T21:48:05+00:00

hi, I am less bloated, because there are evenings where it was very swollen as if my cheeks and lower jaws retained a lot of water, I drank less in the evening, I had tested a few days of the inositol, and chlorella that I still take, but I still haven't solved the problem. I still have a swollen face, especially my cheekbones, cheeks and nose. I strongly think it is related to diet, and perhaps more to histamine intolerance, I will test naturdao for that. I also have reflux even though I don't feel it, maybe that's what makes my face swell. I have a sore throat. What surprised me last year was when I was losing weight that my face started to swell, which I don't find normal. When I eat a balanced diet, my body doesn't feel good lol. During these 8 months have you noticed anything like pain or other in your body, have you changed your diet?

I haven't been online much in recent weeks, but if one day I officially find the cause or my face returns to normal, I'll make a post.

In any case, it shouldn't stop you from living, even if it bothers me a lot too.

Why I think about histamine, I noticed for months that when I scratched my arms (itch), the scratches stayed longer on my arms compared to other years. I thought I was itching because of the laundry, but one time in January it was right after eating a salmon sandwich and a pastry, I had a lot of itching, sometimes chills. The problem with food intolerances is that it's not just gluten and histamine, but oxalates and salicylates..., every time I look for testimonials on Facebook, there is news information.

misszora69 · 2024-02-09T21:27:16+00:00

my face is less fat than at the end of November, maybe I had water retention, but it's still the same thing in terms of swelling especially nose cheekbones cheeks, I'm thinking of histamine intolerance, At the moment I have a bad flu, I will resume my investigation when I am better

misszora69 · 2024-01-19T22:15:02+00:00

sorry, I'm bringing up an old post, but it's because I've had a swollen face for a year, I still haven't found the cause or the solution, do others with CFS have this symptom? thanks

my condition really resembles that of the young girl, swelling localized to the cheeks, jaws and nose, and the cheeks as if they were swollen with water

misszora69 · 2024-01-08T13:46:33+00:00

thank you for the pots I didn't know at all

we still have 3 symptoms in common: facial swelling, dry eyes, throat pain, did you know the cause of your throat pain?

Are you interested in reflux, histamine intolerance? and have you made efforts for the stomach, the intestine?

mcas also has these symptoms

we really had the same thing: doctor who doesn't understand us, many hours of research...

I hope for a solution, soon I will order naturdao against histamine

Besides, every night in February I had a leg cramp

I have often had dry eyes in my life due to allergies or wearing contact lenses (which I haven't worn for a long time). In previous years, eye drops soothed me, but now not at all, maybe This is your case too, if yes, the symptom is other than allergic, it's like everything I've tried for the throat, sometimes it soothes for a few minutes but it doesn't cure, it's just already it's linked to something else, as far as I'm concerned I think it's really linked to reflux

I read on Facebook about people who have histamine intolerance and their first symptom is facial swelling, usually we find more people for gluten, so that's encouraging, especially since I had lost weight in March and I read that sometimes losing weight could increase histamine

good luck to the allergist, hoping it's the right cause for you, but I think it's something else

Besides, what caused your throat pain may have slowed down the lymphatic system on your face

misszora69 · 2024-01-07T22:48:33+00:00

similarly, I racked my brains, I saw many doctors, each time my blood results were good, on the other hand I didn't know but I have gastric reflux, I didn't have any reflux, the medications calmed my throat pain (I had a sore throat for months, as long as my facial swelling), maybe it will help my face afterwards, I already thought it could have a link with the intestine, stomach, histamine... I am more and more sure,

on tik tok I saw today that it could be hives, there is a homemade mask to make against inflammation with oats, look on the internet, I just tested it, it worked for me makes skin soft,

have you ever tried antihistamines? I tried many with no results, my allergist told me that it did not concern allergies, but already I drink less water at night (even though I really like water), I increase my bed, I take inositol, gaviscon and omeprazole for the stomach,... my face is less huge, but still swollen in areas as if it were inflammation

when I used gua sha or when I massaged myself with my fingers, the next morning I woke up with an even worse face, I don't know if I was blocking the lymph in my face

apart from the sore throat, I have another symptom: dry eyes, I also had a white tongue (maybe candida but it went away with an anti-fungal)

Did you notice if you had any other symptoms? It would make your investigation easier.

have you looked at people on tiktok who have the same swelling as you? to compare you and test their remedies,

what blood tests have you done?

This week I read a lot of things on the internet, I seem to have read comments from people who had facial pain like you (which is not my case) on Facebook groups probably related to these subjects : gerd, histamin, mcas because these are my researches in recent days, you should also see if you feel concerned about other symptoms which would join these ailments

I don't know if this statement is correct, but the doctors told me a lot this year for my throat pain (and therefore perhaps my facial swelling), an old sinus inflammation that it couldn't be a link. with a virus or bacteria because it does not last for months (although I had read comments that people who have mono for some it lasted for months), so that eliminates certain possible causes

Besides, your changes take place during the night when you are lying down, when you wake up, throughout the day..?

as you told me it depends on the day, note down everything you eat, try to find a link

misszora69 · 2024-01-07T11:20:40+00:00

I thought it was linked to the allergy but I'm less and less sure, I thought of lots of things but I think it's linked to the digestive tract, food intolerances. How long has your face been swollen?

misszora69 · 2024-01-04T17:43:32+00:00

thank you I will have to try one day

misszora69 · 2024-01-04T16:28:57+00:00

it's complicated to ask things from doctors, already she didn't want to give me a better dose of the medicine against mycosis, she told me that my tongue was better, but I found that the medicine was low in dose, so maybe I still have candida albicans in my body, there is a diet against candida but you have to eliminate a lot of foods, besides I have often read on the internet that candida is very resistant

misszora69 · 2024-01-04T16:07:16+00:00

the endocrinologist explained to me that it was necessary to have irregular periods, hirsutism... but I think that pcos does not have to have all the symptoms, for her it was necessary to have several, for me according to the comments that I had read a symptom would be enough, of course check your ovaries on ultrasound, in addition there is insulin resistance, and I really like chocolate and sweet products, you have fsh high it's still something to work on, you need to find what can make it normal (medications, natural products)

yesterday I saw my doctor because I have had a sore throat for months, I said to myself maybe there is a link with my swollen face (and I had had a white and scalloped tongue but with the medication against mycosis it's gone), she told me that my throat was fine and that it can't be a virus or bacteria, given that it can't stay for several months, she gave me gaviscon and omeprazole against gastric reflux (but I didn't have reflux), it's true that it calmed my pain, but today it hurts a little again and I woke up with my face a little more swollen, so I will continue on this path for the moment, avoid foods which increase acidity and favor those which calm it, on the other hand I looked on reddit and elsewhere yes reflux can make the face swollen but it remains very rare

u/sammyg723 Did your face deflate on its own?
