Swollen Eye Lid
For months now, maybe even close to a year (could be longer then that) my bottom eyelid swells up. I can feel it coming about and then BAM, my entire eyelid is huge. It gets red and big. Lasts for a few hours and then slowly goes back to normal.
Anyone have any idea what this may be?

No of course not, that would be way to easy LOL.
Thought id throw the question out there first before I spend money on a copay and missing time from work.
However, I will soon if it doesn't stop.

think about it this way, there's a doctor who'll most likely know exactly what to do. Then there's a world full of random people who could have you end up paying twice your copay on fake remedies. Loly

I wouldn't actually pay someone for a fake remedy.
But thanks for the response

Have you considered it being an allergy? Makeup (if you're female), eye drops, contacts, smoke, food. A number of things could be a trigger. But the only sure fire way to know what it is and how to fix it is to go to an eye doctor. Co-pays are relatively inexpensive if you have insurance. And eye exams are as well. A lot of vision clinics have weekend/later hours as well, so hopefully you wouldn't have to miss work.

No one really LIKES to go to the doctor. Waiting will only make the issue worse. Good luck.
