Hi,
I have had swollen upper eyelids upon awakening for about 6 months now. It used to be on and off, and now it is almost every day. Sometimes they are so puffy, it is frightening, other times it is mild. I have to ice them every day.
Here's the symptoms:
--from mild to severe swelling of upper eyelids--for months
--no scaling or redness
--no itching, although I do blink a lot
--used to be light crusting and discharge on my eyelashes, but I rarely have that any more
--before this happened, I had noticed a brown/bronze discoloration of my eyelids
I did see a doctor and a dermatologist and neither knew anything, or took it seriously. I used an anti-bacterial salve in my eye, and Patinol eyedrops. I have tried washing with baby shampoo and dandruff shampoo. None of this made a difference.
I have been taking Ambien and Lunesta for a couple years now. Could that be related? I noticed that the long list of Lunesta symptoms mentions facial edema. I looked at all the other posts here about eyelid swelling, but none of them seem to apply to me.
Any help would be so appreciated.
