Guest guest Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 Hi: I have the edema in my eyes all the time. It never goes away. I use some ice on my eyes so I can get the swelling down to apply my eye make-up, but it does not last. They swell right back up again. The neck I cannot say I have had that at all.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Thanks. I think I figured out the swelling around the her neck is from the prednisone she has been taking to control her gout. ________________________________ From: Armour <suzzienovember@...> Sent: Sun, August 22, 2010 5:48:08 PM Subject: Re: [ ] swelling around your neck  Hi: I have the edema in my eyes all the time. It never goes away. I use some ice on my eyes so I can get the swelling down to apply my eye make-up, but it does not last. They swell right back up again. The neck I cannot say I have had that at all.
