Guest guest Posted June 3, 2002 Report Share Posted June 3, 2002 Hi all, I am sure that this has come up on the site before but...of late I have been very pleased with my skin. It is not flaky, not red, and does seem to flush very often. In fact, I look pretty normal, except for one thing. The last two weeks I have noticed (and not every day) that my face is puffy. I usually notice this in the morning because to be honest that is the only time I really spend in front of the mirror. It doesn't go away throughout the day all of the time (I have noticed it some at night) but I am not sure if this happens always. What could be causing this and how can I get the puffiness to go down? I drink lots of water and am not bloated in other places, so I don't think dehydration/retaining water is the problem. Any suggestion? Thanks Jena --------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 4, 2002 Report Share Posted June 4, 2002 Yeah, I am controlling my facial adema to a large degree. The photoderm treatments I had 2 years ago helped a lot. I submitted a post a couple of hours ago detailing this; I don't think the moderators have posted it yet. Because I still have damaged blood vessels, most of which are deep enough under my skin to be invisible (one of the the hallmarks of cea) I can't totally control the edema; those damaged blood vessels will always leak fluid into the surrounding tissues to some degree, causing varying degrees of inflammation. To the best of my ability I simply avoid my triggers, the main one being heat. Hopefully, I will be undergoing further photoderm by a Bitter trained physician; I'm hoping more of the deeper damaged " feeder " vessels will be destroyed. As I detailed in my last post, I will encourage a flush before undergoing photoderm. I'm convinced this helps. Keep in touch, B!
