Yep. Huge puffy bags under both eyes. Nothing seems to help - tried the tea bags, no result. If I have to go somewhere that I really would like not to have the bags, I use this stuff from the Dr. Brandt skin care line called No More baggage. It brings the bags down by about half for a few hours. Always worse if I eat anything with wheat - I'm probably more wheat sensitive than gluten sensitive. Of course I love bread. bagels, etc. When I eat them, not only bags under eyes even bigger, sometimes double, puffy eyelids, edema along the sides of my nose, belly about two inches bigger and 2-5 lbs. wt. gain.

Since 2005 I've had a puffy dark area under the left eye, plus an area by left eye that look like leopard spots! The spots showed up in 2015. Cold green teabags help with the puffiness

My face gets puffy and pale when I am having a bad day with weather or in a flare. Stays puffy until I start feeling better. My husband says all he has to see is my face to no how i am feeling. And when it gets like that it even hurts to talk. Hugs and Prayers

Yes I have since being a teenager. I hadn’t liked that that to fibro yet. Nice catch!
