Dark Circles

[Guest guest]

Hey Everyone -

A question from a lurker: Does anyone else

always have " dark circles " around their eyes ? More exactly, where the

bridge of the nose blends into the eye sockets where your tear ducts

are. I *always* have them, I have even applied some of my wife's make-up

when going on a job interview or other first-impression dependent

meetings. Rarely, they almost go away, but usually they are quite dark.

I (think I) have mild / infrequent symptoms and have not wanted to be

evaluated or medicated, I do realize I may have to sometime. Anyway,

what causes this and is there anytihng I can do about it ? I get about

6-7 hours a night, but wake up feeling like I just laid down. Sleeping

late on the weekends doesn't seem to help with the eyes, but I'm usually

in a better mood(or I'm in a bad mood if I don't get to sleep in, take

your pick). Sorry to be so wordy about a minor thing - Steve

Hi steve,

I too have dark circles under my eyes and cannot seem to get rid of

them either.

I am getting better sleep now than I have for about 5 years ... but dont

know how to get rid of them.

I was thinking that it may be due to age... im 46 ... If you find

something that helps, let me know. thanks

46

Yes, I do have dark circles, almost all of the time. And they are certainly

worse when I have not slept well. However, I think they are mostly related to

my upper respiratory (sinus and nose) allergies. My daughters allergists used

to call them " allergic shiners " .
