Title: Puffy eyes
Post by: Hopeful2 on October 21, 2024, 09:13:40 AM

Good morning ladies.

Hope you are all doing ok.

Looking for some advice again please. I've upped my Sandrena to 1.5mg (only 10 days in now) and feeling better. But my right eye in particular is really puffy above my eyelid. I have dry eyes and use hycosan night. The oitment disappears into that eye. I don't suppose its the hycosan night I've been using it for weeks. Upping Sandrena has plumped up where it should and am wondering if its doing it to my eye too.

Possibly a histamine reaction. Estrogen increases histamine.

Have you tried an antihistamine?
